  • 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局,表示最终的结果。例如:
  • The fire was the result of carelessness.这次大火是粗心大意的结果。

  • 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。
  • consequence, importance

  • The test is of special importance.这次试验特别重要。
  • It is of much importance to keep your teeth in good condition.保持牙齿健康是很重要的。
  • We all know the importance of good health.我们都知道,健康的身体对我们很重要。

  • consequence多指随某一事件引起的,必然或自然的不良结果,不强调直接的因果关系,而侧重事件发展的逻辑关系。
  • result普通用词,含义广泛,侧重因某种原因所产生的最终结果,而不是眼前的结果。
  • effect指因某种原因直接产生的结果,着重持续稳定与其影响。
  • outcome普通用词,多指事物经过一系列发展变化所导致的最终结局,而不是某种原因的直接结果。常可与result通用。
