解析: affect (=have an influence or effect on)影响:The climate affected his health. (气候影响[损害]了他的健康。)
[注意]affect vt. 影响。effect n. (=influent)影响, 作用:Some films have a misleading effect on children. effect vt. (=bring about)实行, 进行, 产生......后果:1) I will effect my purpose: no-one shall stop me! 2) We hope to effect an improvement. (我们希望能引起改进。)
注意两个常用的习语:1)to that effect 那个意思的(话):She said she hated spinach, or words to that effect.(她说她不喜欢吃菠菜或那个意思的话。) 2)to the effect that... 意思时说, 表示下述意思:I said a few words the effect that all he had told us was already well known.(我说了几句话, 意思是说他告诉我们的一切都已众所周知。)
