This is Everyday Grammar. I'm Lucija.
欢迎收看《每日语法》栏目，我是露西佳。
And I'm Kaveh. Many English learners often get confused about words that sound almost the same.
我是卡维。许多英语学习者常常会被发音相似的词汇困扰。
But they are not the same. Because these words have different spellings and meanings.
但是他们并不一样，因为这些词的拼写和意思不同。
So, let's look at some of these commonly confused words.
因此，让我们来看一下这些容易引起困惑的词吧。
Kaveh, how many times have you mixed up AFFECT and EFFECT?
卡维，你有多少次将affect和effect搞混？
Ah, too many times to remember. And I still get it wrong sometimes.
啊，太多次，我都不记得了，现在我还有时候会弄错。
Well, then, this should help: AFFECT means "TO INFLUENCE."
那么，下面要讲的应该对你有帮助，affect意思是影响，例如：
Her speech was so inspiring, it affected the audience.
她的演讲很鼓舞人，感动了观众。
When used as a noun, effect means "A RESULT." And when used as a verb, it means "TO ACCOMPLISH."
作名词用时，effect是指结果；作动词用时，意指完成；
But effect is not often used as a verb.
但effect不常用作动词。
A good tip to remember is to use affect as a verb and effect as a noun.
记住这两个词的区别的一个小窍门就是affect作动词，effect作名词。

Further refers to distance that cannot be measured. While farther describes a measurable physical distance.
further指的是没有办法测量的距离，farther是指可测量的物理距离。
The trick is to remember that FARTHER, which describes physical distance, has the word "FAR" in it.
小诀窍就是记住，farther是用来描述物理距离，有个far在词里。
Accept means "to receive." For example:
accept意指接受，例如：
I accepted a nice gift from my mom.
我接受了妈妈送的精美的礼物。
Except has to do with leaving something out.
except带有将某物排除在外的意思，例如：
Everyone went out except David.
除了戴维，所有人都出去了。
Lastly, we have than and then.
最后，我们区分一下than和then。
Than is used with comparisons.
than用在比较句中，例如：
He was more athletic than his brother.
他比他兄弟健壮。
And then means "at that time" or "next."
then意指在那个时候或下次。
And that's Everyday Grammar.
