adatp for的具体用法

Question

如题所述

Answer 1

adapt for 的意思是“修改（modify）; 重新整理 （rearrange）; （改写 rewrite）。比如：The author is going to adapt his play for television. It is not surprising that this novel, the best seller for three weeks, has been adapted for the cinema. The cars have been adapted for use in the cold weather.

比较容易混淆的是adapt for 与 adapt to 的区别用法：adapt to 有adapt for 相似的意思（修改/重新整理）。比如：We have to adapt the building to the needs of the handicapped people. 不同的是 adapt to 没有”改写“的意思；另外，在指人的时候，通常用 adapt oneself to 含有”适应/习惯“的意思。 比如：I don't think I shall ever adapt myself to this hot climate.
