Consume Information That Encourages You To Do More - Dalton Caldwell
Y Combinator
“the vast, vast, vast, vast, vast majority of successful founders that we funded at YC have effectively no presence whatsoever, especially not in the early stages, right, especially not in the first five or six years of the lifetime of their company, and that kind of exposing yourself to all that noise or putting a lot of energy into establishing thought leadership can be a huge distraction from doing what really matters, of making your company work.”

用法說明
How is "Effectively" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Effectively"?
effectively doing vs effectively to do
- "effectively doing" 通常用於描述一個已經在進行或作為一種常態、方法的事實或狀態，強調其有效執行的方式或結果。
- "effectively to do" 的結構在標準英語中並不常見且通常被視為不正確。正確表達「為了有效地做某事」的意圖時，應使用 "in order to effectively do" 或將 "effectively" 置於其他位置。
- 當 "effectively" 修飾整個動詞片語時，其位置靈活，可置於助動詞與主要動詞之間（如 "can effectively reduce"），或置於句末。
- 在正式寫作中，避免拆分不定詞（to + verb）的爭議依然存在，有些人會選擇將 "effectively" 放在 "to" 之前或之後來避開。 EN: The new software automates the process, effectively saving hundreds of work hours. 翻譯: 新軟體自動化了流程，有效地節省了數百個工時。
EN:We need a strategy in order to effectively reach our target audience.
翻譯:我們需要一個策略，以便有效地觸及目標受眾。
總結建議
在大多數情況下，使用 "effectively + V-ing" 來描述有效進行的動作或狀態，而表達目的時則使用 "in order to effectively + V" 或類似結構，避免直接使用 "effectively to + V"。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Effectively"?Which "Effectively" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He managed the project effective.
✓He managed the project effectively.
"effective" 是形容詞，修飾名詞；"effectively" 是副詞，修飾動詞、形容詞或其他副詞。此處需要修飾動詞 "managed"，因此必須使用副詞 "effectively"。
×The medicine works effectively in treating the symptoms.
✓The medicine is effective in treating the symptoms.
當要表達某事物「具有效果」或「能產生預期結果」的狀態或特性時，應使用形容詞 "effective"。使用 "effectively" 會強調「運作或執行方式很有效率」，但此句重點在於藥物的「特性」是有效的，而非其運作方式。
×She communicates with her team very effectively.
✓She communicates very effectively with her team.
副詞 "effectively" 通常應緊接在它所修飾的動詞之後，以使句子結構更清晰、自然。將 "very effectively" 放在句尾雖然文法上可能可接受，但會使修飾關係模糊，不是最自然的語序。
×The company is effectively by the new CEO.
✓The company is effectively managed by the new CEO.
"effectively" 是副詞，不能單獨作為動詞的補語。它必須修飾一個動詞（如 managed、run、led 等）。此錯誤可能是受中文「被有效地…」結構影響，而省略了主要動詞。
×We need to work more effective.
✓We need to work more effectively.
在比較級結構 "more..." 中，如果修飾的是動詞（work），必須使用副詞的比較級。"effective" 是形容詞，其比較級是 "more effective"，用於修飾名詞或作為補語。此處修飾動詞 "work"，因此必須使用副詞 "effectively" 的比較級 "more effectively"。
