词义辨析

v. (动词)

accommodate, adapt, adjust

• 这三者的共同意思是“使适合,使适应”。
• accommodate用于使之相适应的两事物之间悬殊极大的事物,带有一方暂时必须屈从另一方的意味; adapt用于使之适应的两事物之间差别较小的事物,将某一方稍加改变便可适应于另一方,带有一定的灵活性和适应性; adjust则着重于结果,即达到尽可能的符合或和谐。

accommodate, favour, oblige

• 这组词的共同意思是“施恩于(某人)或答应(某人)的请求”。其区别是：
• oblige通常指应某人的请求去做令人惬意的小事,或指对人所做的小事表示客气和礼貌; accommodate含有“有意协助”的意思,主要用在交易中指贷款等行为; favour专指纯粹出于好意、不附加任何义务或期待报答的惠赐。

adapt，adjust，conform，accommodate，suit，fit

• 这些动词均有“使适合，适应”之意。
• adapt指人或物在原有情况下作某些改变以适应新的环境或不同的条件，强调改变的目的和重要性。
• adjust与adapt含义很接近，但adjust所改变的幅度要小一些，侧重过程，主要用于调整角度、高度、光点等。
