10 Common Writing Errors That Can Spell “Rejection” for Your Manuscript: Error 9
10 個導致退稿的常見寫作錯誤之九
Error 9: “Affect” Is Not the Same as “Effect”
“According to dermatologist Robert Norman, accumulated fats effect not only the arteries but also cause a benign skin growth called Xanthomas.”
The two words sound alike in speech because they are nearly homonyms, but they are not the same. “Affect” is always a verb, while “effect” is always a noun, with one exception. You can use “effect” as a verb when it means “to bring something into existence, as in: “The late congressional session effected a series of new laws.” The sample sentence calls for the verb “affect.”
這兩個詞的發音近似，因為幾乎算得上是同音意異詞，但是還是有差別。“Affect” 永遠是動詞，“effect” 則永遠是名詞，只有一個例外：當 “effect” 是表示「實現某事」的意思，如 “The late congressional session effected a series of new laws.”，可當作動詞用。這個例句中應該用動詞 “affect”。
