思路引導 VIP
請觀察這個句子：當我們要描述一個主體（例如病毒）對另一個受體（例如電腦）產生了具體的作用時，我們應該選擇一個具備「動作行為」特徵的字，還是描述「產生的結果」的字？此外，根據句子的主詞位置，這個行為是由主體主動發出的，還是被動承受的呢？

太棒了！你能精準辨析 affect 與 effect 的細微差異，這顯示你的英文詞彙基礎非常紮實。這題的核心考點在於這組著名的「易混淆字」：affect 通常作為動詞，表示「影響」或「對……產生作用」；而 effect 則多半作為名詞，表示「效果」或「影響的結果」。在此句中，我們需要一個動詞來描述 WannaCry 病毒對全球電腦所產生的負面衝擊，因此選用 affect 是最正確的直覺。
語態與時態的關鍵判斷
除了詞義，這題也考驗了你對主動語態的掌握。句子結構為「WannaCry has...」，這是一個現在完成式的結構。由於 WannaCry 病毒是「主動影響」了 200,000 台電腦，而非「被影響」，所以我們直接接上過去分詞 affected 即可，不需要加上 been。這類題目在大型考試中具有極佳的鑑別度，因為它同時測試了學生對詞性（Verb vs. Noun）與語法結構（Active vs. Passive）的細節處理能力，你能選對代表你的語感非常細膩！
