    「accustom」是「使自己或別人慢慢習慣某事」——新地方、新規矩、新作息，透過時間變得平常。固定句型：accustom yourself to something / to doing something。日常口語更常說 get used to；accustom 聽起來稍正式，常見於說明、故事或書面英文。跟 familiarize yourself with 比：familiarize 是「事先摸熟、弄清楚」；accustom 是「讓感覺從陌生變成習慣」。核心畫面可以想成：陌生的東西，一點一點變成你平常的一部分。

core核心畫面

Picture something that felt strange at first — a cold room, a new schedule — and then picture the strangeness wearing off through repeated contact until you stop noticing it. Accustom is the making of that adjustment happen, usually to yourself.

可以想成：一開始覺得不對勁的東西——冷冷的房間、新的作息——反覆接觸之後，那份不對勁慢慢磨掉了，到最後你根本不會再注意到它。accustom 就是讓這個適應過程發生，而且受詞多半是自己。
