常见错误

❌ 错误:The adjacency between the two cities is very close.
✓ 正确:The proximity between the two cities is very close.

adjacency 通常指直接相邻或接触,不适用于描述城市间较远的距离;应使用 proximity 表示接近或邻近关系。

❌ 错误:We need to consider the adjacency of time in this project.
✓ 正确:We need to consider the temporal adjacency in this project.

adjacency 本身可表示时间邻接,但常需加形容词如 temporal 来明确;直接使用 adjacency of time 不够自然,应改为 temporal adjacency。

近义词辨析

proximity

proximity 强调接近或靠近的状态,可以是空间、时间或关系上的,不一定直接接触;而 adjacency 特指紧密相邻或直接邻接,常用于更精确或技术性的语境。

The proximity of the store is convenient, but the adjacency of the rooms allows for shared utilities.

contiguity

contiguity 指事物在边界上的直接接触或连续,常用于地理或法律语境,强调无间隔;adjacency 更通用,可包括轻微间隔的邻接,在计算或日常中更常见。

The contiguity of the plots is required for the merger, whereas adjacency might allow a small gap.
