- While Amazon has increasingly become a one-stop shop for some people, we’re also seeing a large proliferation of online companies looking to connect with users wherever they happen to be spending the most time, whether that’s on a social media platform, or on a site that caters to interests adjacent to the businesses’s own — and most importantly not necessarily on the company’s own web properties.
- 虽然亚马逊越来越成为某些人的一站式商店,但我们也看到大量在线公司希望在用户花费最多时间的地方与他们建立联系,无论是在社交媒体平台上,还是在一个迎合企业自身相关利益的网站——最重要的是,不一定在公司自己的网络资产上。
使用说明
[编辑]这个介词通常与单词to一起使用,即“adjacent to”。但是,在美国,adjacent有时会单独使用。
