词组 | adapter, adaptor |
释义 | adapter, adaptor Phythian 1979 wants us to distinguish adaptor "an electrical device" from adapter "a person who adapts." Even for British English he is only partly right. Both adapter and adaptor are used in British English for devices (and not only electrical ones), and adapter is used for a person, while adaptor is not. In American English adapter is usual for both persons and devices; adaptor is relatively infrequent. |
