用法說明

How is "Effect" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Effect"?

effect doing vs effect to do

  • "effect" 作為動詞時,意思是「實現、造成、使生效」,其後通常接名詞或名詞片語作為受詞,表示實現的目標或結果。
  • 在標準英語中,動詞 "effect" 後面不直接接動名詞 (doing)不定詞 (to do) 來表示「實現做某事」。這種用法是錯誤的。
  • 若要表達「實現做某事」或「使某事發生」,應使用 "effect" + 名詞 的結構,或改用其他動詞如 "achieve", "accomplish", 或 "bring about"。
  • 常見的受詞包括:change(改變)、improvement(改善)、reform(改革)、transition(轉變)等具體結果。 EN: The new policy will effect a significant change in our procedures. 翻譯: 新政策將使我們的程序產生重大改變。

EN:The manager hopes to effect an improvement in team morale.

翻譯:經理希望能夠提升團隊的士氣。

總結建議

使用動詞 "effect" 時,請記住其後應直接接上你想實現的「結果」或「事物」作為名詞受詞,而非接上動詞形式。

易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Effect" and similar words?How to choose "Effect" vs alternatives?

effect vs affect

「effect」作動詞時,意指「實現、造成」,是正式用法,強調產生結果或改變。而「affect」是更常見的動詞,意指「影響」或「使產生變化」。

effect vs cause

「effect」作動詞時,強調成功「實現」或「帶來」某個結果,是該結果的完成動作。而「cause」則單純指「導致」或「引起」某事件發生,是原因與起始的關係。

effect vs bring about

「effect」與「bring about」作動詞時都表示「導致、實現」,但「effect」語氣更正式、有力,且暗示經過努力達成預期結果。「bring about」則較為通用。

EN:She goes, "That's not fair," and then he goes, "Life isn't fair."

EN:He was all like, "Whatever, I don't even care."

EN:It was, like, the weirdest thing ever.

翻譯:那真的是,怎麼說,有史以來最奇怪的事。

正式寫作注意:在正式書寫或學術文章中,應避免使用「like」作為引述動詞或填充詞。請改用「said」、「stated」、「remarked」等標準動詞,並刪除不必要的停頓填充詞,以保持文體的嚴謹與清晰。
