  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.
  雖然亞馬遜越來越成為某些人的一站式商店，但我們也看到大量在線公司希望在用戶花費最多時間的地方與他們建立聯繫，無論是在社交媒體平台上，還是在一個迎合企業自身相關利益的網站——最重要的是，不一定在公司自己的網絡資產上。

這個介詞通常與單詞to一起使用，即“adjacent to”。但是，在美國，adjacent有時會單獨使用。
