Feel the effects

二手樓頻錄得蝕讓,失業率升破16年來的高位,本港各階層的市民都感受到新冠疫情所帶來的影響(feel the effects of the pandemic)。

動詞feel解「感受」。例如︰My legs felt really sore after the long ride.(騎長途單車後,我的腿真的很痠。)I feel safe when my dad is driving instead of my mum.(當父親開車而不是媽媽時,我感到安全。)

用feel the effects of something指「感受到某事物的影響」,可以非常到位地表達「切身感受」,比起experience the effects of something表達得更直接。

例句︰Economists predict that many countries will continue to feel the effects of COVID-19 well into 2022 or further.(經濟學家預測,到2022年或更長時間,許多國家將繼續感受到新冠肺炎的影響。)

除了feel the effects of something,也可以說feel the force/benefits/impact(力量/好處/影響)of something。例如︰Nearly three years later, some still feel the impact of the super typhoon.(近3年之後,有些人仍然感受到超級颱風的影響。)

Many people truly feel the benefits of the new policy.(許多人真正感受到新政策的好處。)
