Almost any situation---good or bad---is affected by the attitude we bring to. --- Seneca
差不多任何一种处境---无论是好是坏---都受到我们对待处境的态度的影响。
affect means to have an influence on or effect a change in,是指影响或使发生变化的意思。例如:Inflation affects the buying power of the dollar.通货膨胀影响美元的购买能力。
affect also means to attack or infect, as a disease,是指疾病侵袭或感染的意思。例如:Rheumatic fever can affect the heart.风湿热能感染心脏。
下面我们来看一下以下几个词汇:affect、effect、influence,它们作为动词,都含“影响”的意思。
affect指“产生的影响之大足以引起反应”,着重“影响”的动作,有时含有“对...产生不利影响”的意思,如:This article will affect my thinking. 这篇文章将会影响我的思想。
effect指“实现”、“达成”,着重“造成”一种特殊的效果,如:This book effected a change in my opinion. 这本书使我的看法起了变化。
influence指“通过说服、举例等对行动、思想、性格等产生不易觉察到的,潜移默化的影响”,如:Influenced by a high-school biology teacher, he took up the study of medicine. 在一位中学生物教师的影响下,他从事医学研究。
