English term or phrase: involvement
involvement 除了翻译成参与,敬业外,还有其他的常见译文吗?Of particular interest are the ways that immigrant fathers involve themselves in their children’s education. 这里的该如何翻译较好。

Chinese translation:参与,具体见下。
Explanation:
Of particular interest are the ways that immigrant fathers involve themselves in their children’s education
移民父亲们对参与(他们的)子女教育的兴趣特别高。

觉得此处关键不是involve一词的理解。原句为倒装结构,意在强调兴趣高。译中时要回到中文习惯,打破原句中的从句限制,意译即可,不然愁死白给。

仅供参考。

重视


Explanation:
Although involvement means be part of it. But here I think it is better to translat it to 重视。It is more like Chinese this way. 移民父亲对子女的教育很重视

agree  Lou SHEN: 確實比較符合中文的習慣。我們會說父親對子女教育的「投入」或「付出」,「參與」則比較是指政治或公共事務或一些活動。

Explanation:
Maybe it's just me...but my sentence is a bit hard to read but makes more sense to me...

Of particular interest are the ways that immigrant fathers involve themselves in their children’s education
最有趣的是移民父親們付之於他們子女教育的興趣的方法。
