adapt oneself to sth 和adjust oneself to sth 用法差不多。
我认为虽然这两个词在英文的解释上有细微的区别,但是涉及到使用的时候,两个词基本一样,尤其在考试中这样两个词轻易不会放在一起出的,除非是考核两个词除了“适应”之外的含义时,比如adjust 还有“调节”的含义。
adjust和adapt的区别:
一、Adjust:
1.及物动词 vt. :调节,使…适合,校准
adjust a radio (dial) 调准收音机的选台指针
adjust color on a TV 调整电视的色彩
adjust one's tie in a mirror 照镜子整理领带
2.及物动词 vt. 使…适合[于…][to]
adjust a telescope to one's eye 调节望远镜使之适合眼睛观看
3.及物动词 vt. 调整<机器>
adjust a clock 调准时钟
二、adapt:
1.及物动词 vt. :(改装)使适合,改编。 make to fit in a new place; make fit for
He adapted his old car engine to the boat. 他把他的旧汽车上的引擎用到那只船上。
adapt sth. for a particular use 使某物适合某一特殊用途
三.当表示:改变。。。适应环境时adjust和adapt则差不多。 常跟to 搭配。
The body adjusts itself to changes of temperature. 身体会自行适应温度的变化。
You must adjust yourself to new conditions. 你必须使自己适应新的环境。
He soon adjusted to army life. 他很快就适应了军队生活。
adapt oneself to a new job 使自己适应新的工作

5.To provide with clothing; dress:

用在衣服上可以认为fit是大小合适,suit是颜色合适,match是都合适。
fit 指大小、形状的合适,引申为吻合、协调。suit 指合乎需要、口味、条件、地位,以及花色、款式等与某人的皮肤、气质、身材或身份相称。match 多指大小、色调、形状、性质等的搭配。

对比:This new jacket suits her beautifully . 这件夹她穿着真漂亮。
That colour suits you best .

当表示“使……适合”的意思时,fit 常与 for 连用;suit 常与 to 连用。

The People's Great Hall and the Historical Museum match the Tian An Men beautifully . 人民大会堂和历史博物馆把天安门陪衬得极为美丽。
