你這句問得好,以下我引用牛津高階英漢雙解詞典(第四版)對這兩字的分別與用法:
”Affect is a verb meaning 'have an influence on'(affect是動詞,意為’影響’),如:Alcohol affects driver's concentration酒精能影響司機的注意力; The tax increases have affected us all加稅已經影響了我們大家。
Effect is a noun meaning 'result or influence'(effect是名詞,意為’效果’或’影響’:Alcohol has a very bad effect on drivers.酒精對司機的影響很大。
Effect is also a (formal) verb meaning 'accomplish'(effect這個詞還是個(文雅)的動詞,意為’完成’:They effected their escape in the middle of night他們半夜逃脫了。”

你的lecture說的不錯,因作為動詞用的effect是完成,達成的意思,所以已經是事情的結果;而affect是影響,所以可說是(事情發生的時候,正在運作)進程。

effect 係名詞, 效果 / 影響
affect 係動詞, 對..有影響
