理論上是可以但實際上沒人這樣用(應該)。人的話不會用adequate但你不想把他當人看的話不是不行。

The CEO is the key person who is adequate to take the responsibility of the entire performance of sales and managing the staff under his command in the company.

把ceo當成工具因為奇摩字典也這樣用的話 那應該就是可以吧....汗一般人是用capable。

3. 勝任的[F][+to]

She proved adequate to the job. 事實證明她能勝任此項工作。

正常應該是 人用CAPABLE。因為ADEQUATE是說 "適當"的意思。AD +EQUATE=>使事物符合之意。一般不會用在人身上

she proved that she was capable of doing the job.

she proved herself to be capable of doing the job 

she prove capable of doing the job. 

但說是這說但沒強制限制。應該…字典這樣用的話…。

adequate 能滿足需要(量)的, 足夠的
