The expression en effet is underutilized by English speakers, who often say

en fait when what they really mean is en effet. Both expressions can be

translated by "in fact," but the difference is that en effet confirms, whereas

en fait contradicts.

法文表達“en effet”仍未被以英文為漢語的人靈活運用，當她們真實要表達“事實上”的情況下，她們一般要說“en

effet”。這二種表達都可以漢語翻譯為“事實上”，可是不一樣的是“en effet”表達的是已確定的事實，而“en fait”表達的是猶存矛盾的事實。

Synonym: When used to agree with what was just said, en effet is synonymous

with voilà.

近義詞：當用以愿意剛剛常說的情況下，“en effet”便是它的近義詞。
