分配: adapt to

例句：

Another task is to adapt the model to a very different research system. In the early 1960s, ARPA gave money to great universities, like MIT, Berkeley and Stanford, which have equivalents in modern Britain, but also to independent research institutions, like the Stanford Research Institute and RAND, which have fewer obvious counterparts. (The Economist, 2020/01/25)

另一个使命是根据截然不一样的研讨体系对模型做出调整。在二十世纪六十年代前期，获得美国国防部高档研讨方案署（ARPA）赞助的，有麻省理工学院、伯克利大学、斯坦福大学等一流大学，现代英国也有同类的一流大学；另一类获得赞助的是斯坦福研讨院和RAND研讨生院等独立研讨机构，不过，与这类研讨机构实力恰当的机构很少。

言语点：

equivalent和counterpart这两个词的运用，体现了英语表达中词汇多样化的倾向。这两个单词作为名词时，都可以用于表达与所述事物方位恰当或许作用恰当的事物。

modify

释义：做出小的调整，使事物愈加契合某种用处。

例句：

Several firms unveiled voice-directed offerings for cars. One even touted technology that allows a person to modify a room’s scent through voice command (if you sound sleepy it might waft the smell of coffee). (The Economist, 2020/01/12)

几家公司都推出了轿车语音控制体系。其间一家公司甚至吹捧一项可以让用户经过语音指令改动房间气味的技能（假定用户的声响听起来有些疲倦，房间宣告出来的就是咖啡的味道）。

言语点：

unveil：掀开面纱等隐瞒物，把隐秘的事物戳穿出来。运用于公司的语境中，一般指的就是新产品的推出。

convert

分配：convert sth. into

释义：完全地改动事物，改动方法后，用于其他用处。

More than four-fifths of global demand for rhodium comes from the automotive industry. The metal,

together with platinum and palladium, helps convert toxic gases in a vehicle’s exhaust system (such as carbon monoxide) into less harmful substances before they leave the tailpipe. Facing stricter emissions regulations around the world, carmakers are taking even moreof a shine to these metals.（The Economist, 20 19 ）

全球跨越4/5的铑金需要都来自轿车作业。轿车尾气排出之前，铑金可以与铂、钯一同将有毒气体（例如一氧化碳）转化为损害较小的物质。因为全球轿车排放法规越发严肃，轿车制造商对这些金属快乐喜爱越来越大。

言语点：

take a shine to：一见钟情，非常喜爱
