The act of making an alteration or modification is an adjustment. If you buy a new pair of jeans, but they are too long, you can make a quick adjustment and hem them, have someone else hem them, or use safety pins.
The process of adapting to your environmental conditions is also called an adjustment. After you leave home for college, both you and your parents will have a period of adjustment. Some people adjust easier to change than others — you may be having a ball going to class, eating cereal for dinner, and making new friends but an adjustment your parents will have to make is that they will need to stop worrying about you.
实用短语
常用短语
单词用法
例如:She opened the door reluctantly to admit the unwelcome visitor.她很不情愿地把门打开,让不受欢迎的客人进去了。
Jack was admitted to the hospital to have his tumour removed.医生收杰克住院切除肿瘤。
allow指“允许某人做…”,给予客体执行某任务的权力,或同意某人的要求,和permit同义。它们在许多场合中可以通用。不过两者的意思也有细微差别,allow的意思是“允许”,表示主体有权不阻止、不妨碍或默许某事进行的意思。
例如:Playing ball is not allowed in the park.公园内不许打球。
Parking is not allowed here.此处不准停车。
permit表示给予客体做某事的权力。
例如:Time does not permit me to stay longer.时间不容许我在这里多留一会。
let含有放任的意味。例如Tom?s parents will not let him swim in the lake.汤姆的父母不让他在湖里游泳。
2.permit后可接不定式和动名词,但不可接名词从句;let不用动名词作宾语,其宾语后接动词原形。
3.allow还表示客气的请求,可和let通用。例如Allow me to(Let me〕thank you on behalf of our factory.请允许我代表全厂职工向你致谢。permit是书面语,比allow带有更庄重、正式的语言色彩,含有正面的、积极的意义,指“同意某人的要求、给予某人做…的权力”。例如The facts permit no other explanations.这些事实不容许作其他解释。let是口头语。例如We won?t let such a thing happen again我们绝不允许再发生这样的事。admit of,allow of,permit of这组短语都可以表示“容许,留有…的余地”,多用于否定句,有时也可用于肯定句,三者常可互换,但admit of和permit of的主语多为物质或抽象名词,而allow of的主语间或可以是人。例如The matter admits of no delay.这事不容耽搁。Your fault doesn?t permit of any excuse.你的过失不容争辩。You allow of no chance.你没有机会了。
admit,acknowledge,confess,own
这四个词都有“公开承认”的意思。其区别是
1.acknowledge和admit所承认的是不对的或不光彩的事实;
confess指承认“错误及罪行”;
own承认的不一定是“错误及罪行”,只是一般地表明自己的感觉及处境。
例如He acknowledged that he was your inferior.他承认他不及你。
Did he admit to stealing it?他承认是他偷的吗?
He confessed where he had hidden the money.他供出了他藏钱的地方。
