efficient 是指工作效率高；其名词形式为efficiency，意为“效率，功效”。 effective 是指某种事物起了作用，产生了效果; 其名词形式为effectiveness，意为"效果，有效"。

yangxin appears to have the meaning correctly. efficient basically means the something is done without waste. For example an efficient car uses less fuel. effective basically means that it has done something adequately. For example an effective medicine effects a cure.
