influence侧重在思想、性格、行为等方面所产生的潜移默化的影响，也可指自然力的影响。如：Mr. Smith is a man of influence in this town. 史密斯先生是这个镇上有权势的人物。

impress强调影响既深刻又持久。如：I was very impressed by his story. 他的故事深深打动了我。

2）impress sth. with与 impress sth. on两个都有“留下印象；使……明白重要性”的意思。区别在于with后面接something; on后面接somebody。如：1）The girl impressed her friend with her sense of humor. 这个女孩的幽默感给她的朋友留下了深刻的印象。2）He impressed the importance of their work on them.他使得他们铭记住这项工作的重要性。

3）be impressed by和 be impressed with：都有“对......留下了深刻的印象；被……所感动”。

例如：I was very impressed with their craftmanship.他们的工艺给我留下了深刻印象.

I believe the audiences will be deeply impressed by the story and scenery.我相信这部影片的情节和场面一定会给观众留下深刻印象。by 和with 起的作用基本相同,表述的是被打动的理由,而by更强调这个理由, with弱一点。一般来说，with和by后面都可接something。

四、小结：

impress是个多义和多词性词。可用作动词和名词。用作及物动词时。有“给某人深刻印象；铭记；印上，压印；使……记住某事的重要性”。用作名词时，有“印象；痕迹；特征”等意思，是可数名词。impress本身即可是动词又可是名词；另外，impress还有个名词形式是impression。常用于短语动词中。be impressed by和 be impressed with：都有“对......留下了深刻的印象；被……所感动”。 by 和with 起的作用基本相同。by更强调感动的理由, with弱一点。With和by后面接something; on后面接somebody。Impression可构成好多种搭配，如：impress sth on〔upon〕 sth 使…铭记 ；impress sth on〔upon〕 sb. 使某人牢记某事；impress sb. with sth 使某人对某事留下深刻印象； be impressed in sth /leave impression in sth； sth impresses itself on one's mind； be impressed by /with； make /leave a deep impression on sb 。用法见正文。
