词义讲解

词源解说

n.(名词)

consequence, effect, outcome, result

这四个词都可表示“效果,结果”。其区别是：

result是普通用语,指直接或间接、近因或远因所引起的结果; consequence指自然而然的或当然的结果; effect严格强调因果关系,指和cause直接相对应的结果; outcome强调事件的特有的结*,表示*终的结果。例如:

The fire was the result of carelessness.这次大火是粗心大意的结果。

The rise in lung cancer was a consequence of cigarette smoking.肺癌的增加是吸烟的结果。

He began to experience the evil effect of drinking.他已经开始感受到喝酒的有害影响。

The outcome of the war was doubtful.战争的胜败尚难预料。

☆ 14世纪晚期进入英语，直接源自拉丁语的consequens，意为随后发生的事。
