1 -to affect o to effect?-
Nota d'usoTo affect non ha a che fare con l'affetto, ma principalmente significa “influenzare, influire su”: The housing market has been badly affected by the recession, il mercato immobiliare è stato influenzato negativamente dalla recessione; The strike is bound to affect the economy, lo sciopero è destinato a influire sull'economia. In altri contesti, to affect può anche significare “fingere di avere o provare”: He sat there, affecting an air of nonchalance, si sedette lì, fingendo un'aria di indifferenza.Il sostantivo effect significa in primo luogo “effetto, risultato, conseguenza”: the effects of drugs on the body, gli effetti delle droghe sul corpo; The increases will take effect in January, gli aumenti avranno effetto in gennaio. Come verbo effect si usa più raramente e in contesti formali, col significato “compiere, portare a termine, causare”: the reforms effected by the previous government, le riforme portate a termine dal precedente governo. -
