用法
- The effect/result produced by an action or method - 效果很好 (xiàoguǒ hěn hǎo) it works well; 治疗效果 the treatment's effect.
- Focuses on how well something works - outcome quality, not mere consequence.
- Contrast 结果 (jiéguǒ) 'result/outcome' (what ended up happening) and 影响 (yǐngxiǎng) 'influence'; 效果 is specifically the desired effectiveness of a means.
