关于SUIT and FIT 的用法

Question

这个防晒霜适合一岁的宝宝用么？
在这里的适合是可以用SUIT 还是有用FIT呢？

Answer 1

（1）、作动词时fit 分别可作vt和vi，而suit只作vt,并且suit和fit各有不同的意义。

suit:

1) meet the needs of; be convenient to or be fight for

对……方便，适应……的要求

Will it suit (= ) you if I come at 3:00?

— Does the climate suit you / your heath?

— Yes, it suits me fine.

2) (the color or style of a dress or hair) look well

（指衣服、发型等）相配；适合

— Does this skirt suit me ?

— The color doesn't suit you.

fit: be the right size or shape (衣服、鞋子等尺码大小，形状等)合适；合身

The door fits badly. (vi)

The coat fits me well, but the color doesn't suit my trousers.

这衣服很合身，但颜色与我的裤子没配好。

在上一句里suit和fit不能互换，因为由上可知fit只指“尺码大小合脚，合身”等，而suit指“衣服、颜色、发型等相搭配”。如下句：

The job doesn't fit me. (×)

The job doesn't suit me. (√)

（2）作形容词时be fit for 与 be suitable for 可互换。

The job is not fit / suitable for me.
