Note that the noun that comes from
affect is
effect. You can say that something
affects you, or that is has an
effect on you.
...the effect that noise has on people in factories. You can also talk about the
effect of something.
...the effect of the anaesthetic. Effect can also be a verb. If you
effect something such as a change or a repair, you make it happen or do it. This is a fairly formal word.
She had effected a few hasty repairs.
注意,与
affect相对应的名词是effect。可以说something affects you,也可以说it has an effect on you。例如:the effect that noise has on people in factories (噪音对工厂里的人们产生的影响)。谈论某事物的效果也可用 effect: the effect of the anaesthetic(麻醉药的作用)。effect也可用作动词,后接 change, repair 等词, 意为使发生或进行,该用法较为正式。例如:She had effected a few hasty repairs(她已经做了一些匆忙的修补)。
