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.

法文表达“en effet”仍未被以英文为汉语的人灵活运用，当她们真实要表达“事实上”的情况下，她们一般要说“en

effet”。这二种表达都可以汉语翻译为“事实上”，可是不一样的是“en effet”表达的是已确定的事实，而“en fait”表达的是犹存矛盾的事实。

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

with voilà.

近义词：当用以愿意刚刚常说的情况下，“en effet”便是它的近义词。
