本人英語(yǔ)專業(yè) ,但為了對(duì)自己說話負(fù)責(zé),還是查了朗文字典,牛津字典,感覺adapt oneself to sth 和adjust oneself to sth 用法差不多.
雖然這兩個(gè)詞在英文的解釋上有細(xì)微的區(qū)別,但是涉及到使用的時(shí)候,兩個(gè)詞基本一樣,尤其在考試中這樣兩個(gè)詞輕易不會(huì)放在一起出的,除非是考核兩個(gè)詞除了“適應(yīng)”之外的含義時(shí),比如adjust 還有“調(diào)節(jié)”的含義.
adjust和adapt的區(qū)別:
一、Adjust：
1．及物動(dòng)詞 vt.：調(diào)節(jié),使…適合,校準(zhǔn)
adjust a radio (dial) 調(diào)準(zhǔn)收音機(jī)的選臺(tái)指針
adjust color on a TV 調(diào)整電視的色彩
adjust one's tie in a mirror 照鏡子整理領(lǐng)帶
2．及物動(dòng)詞 vt.使…適合[于…][to]
adjust a telescope to one's eye 調(diào)節(jié)望遠(yuǎn)鏡使之適合眼睛觀看
3．及物動(dòng)詞 vt.調(diào)整
adjust a clock 調(diào)準(zhǔn)時(shí)鐘
二、adapt：
1．及物動(dòng)詞 vt.：(改裝)使適合,改編.make to fit in a new place; make fit for
He adapted his old car engine to the boat.他把他的舊汽車上的引擎用到那只船上.
adapt sth.for a particular use 使某物適合某一特殊用途
三．當(dāng)表示：改變.適應(yīng)環(huán)境時(shí)adjust和adapt則差不多.常跟to 搭配.
The body adjusts itself to changes of temperature.身體會(huì)自行適應(yīng)溫度的變化.
