adapt和adjust意思是改变某日期或某物以适应新情况或不同的环境。Adapt意指为达到新要求所发生的巨大变化，而adjust指小变化，比如调准零件：to adapt anovel for the stage将一部小说改编为舞台戏；to adjust a motor 调准发动机；to adjust the differences between two parties in a dispute调解争论中两党的分歧。adapt强调进行改变的目的：the shrewd politician adapt his speech to suit the interests of his audience.这个精明的政治家修改他的演讲以迎合听众的口味。adjust也用来指某人为适应变化了的环境而adapt自己：astronauts in flight must adjust to weightlessness飞行中的宇航员一定要适应失重状况。作者: kobe 时间: 2010-10-21 17:13
