用法說明

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

impact doing vs impact to do

  • impact doing 並非標準的英文文法結構。動詞 "impact" 後面不直接接動名詞 (V-ing) 來表示「影響做某事」。
  • impact to do 同樣不是正確的用法。"impact" 不接不定詞 (to V) 來表達目的或意圖。
  • 正確的用法是 impact + 受詞,表示對某人或某事物產生影響。受詞後面可以接子句或片語來進一步說明影響的層面。
  • 若要表達「影響做某事的能力或可能性」,會使用 impact (someone's/something's) ability to do somethinghave an impact on doing something 這類結構。 EN: The new policy will impact our ability to hire talent. 翻譯: 新政策將影響我們招聘人才的能力。

EN:The bad weather impacted the team's performance.

翻譯:惡劣天氣影響了團隊的表現。

總結建議

使用 "impact" 作動詞時,其後應直接接受詞(名詞或代名詞),或使用 "impact on" 的結構,切勿在其後直接接 "doing" 或 "to do"。

impact vs influence

「impact」通常指直接、具體且可觀察的影響或結果;「influence」則偏重間接、漸進的影響力,常透過說服、榜樣或環境來改變行為或決定。

impact vs effect (verb)

「impact」是常見的動詞,表示產生影響;「effect」作動詞時較正式且少見,意思是「使發生」或「實現」,而非單純「影響」。

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Impact"?Which "Impact" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×The new policy will impact to the economy.

The new policy will impact the economy.

作為及物動詞,'impact' 後面直接接受詞,不需要介系詞 'to'。

×The news impacted on him deeply.

The news impacted him deeply.

當 'impact' 作動詞表示「對...產生影響」時,是及物動詞,不應與介系詞 'on' 連用。介系詞 'on' 通常與名詞 'impact' 搭配(have an impact on)。

×The accident was impacted his health.

The accident impacted his health.

動詞 'impact' 是及物動詞,不應使用被動語態 'was impacted' 來表達主動影響的含義,除非主語是受影響的對象。此處應使用主動語態。

×We need to discuss how to impact the environment positively.

We need to discuss how to have a positive impact on the environment.

雖然 'impact' 可作動詞,但在表達「產生...影響」時,使用名詞形式 'have an impact on' 搭配形容詞(如 positive)更為自然和常見。動詞 'impact' 在此語境下聽起來較不自然或過於正式。

×The two cars impacted together.

The two cars collided.

動詞 'impact' 雖然字面有「撞擊」之意,但用於描述物體之間的碰撞並不自然,聽起來過於技術性或生硬。更自然的用詞是 'collide', 'crash', 或 'hit'。

×His speech was very impacting.

His speech was very impactful.

想表達「有影響力的」或「令人印象深刻的」時,應使用形容詞 'impactful',而非動詞的現在分詞 'impacting'。'Impacting' 通常用於進行式或分詞構句。
