bout something. worth、 worthy、 worthwhile的用法區(qū)別 這三個(gè)詞都是形容詞,都有“值得的”的意思,但用法或搭配關(guān)系不同。 1. worth是一個(gè)只能作表語的形容詞,意思為“值 …… 的”、“相當(dāng)于 …… 的價(jià)值的”、“有 …… 價(jià)值的”、“值得 …… 的”。由于它類似介詞,須在后面接名詞、或主動(dòng)形式的動(dòng)名詞作賓語。 例如: This secondhand car is worth $2020 at the most. The exhibition is worth a visit/visiting. It’s not worth getting angry with him. I went and bought about six dollars39。 worth of potato chips. You39。ve got three years39。 worth of research money to do what you want with. I am spending a lot of money and time on this boat, but it is worth it. 2. worthy可作表語,也可作定語。作定語時(shí)意思為“有價(jià)值的”、“值得尊敬的”、“應(yīng)受到賞識(shí)的”;用作表語時(shí)意思為“值得 …… 的”、“應(yīng)得到 …… 的”,其后接 of sth.,也可以后接 to do sth.,例如: Guangzhou is worthy of a visit/ to be visited/being visited. He said he was not worthy(配得上) to accept such an honor. The school has educated many worthy young people. 3. worthwhile與 worthy一樣,既可作表語,又可作定語。表示某事因重要、有趣或受益大而值得花時(shí)間、金錢或努力去做,一般做“值得的”、“值得做的”、“有意義的”解。用作表語時(shí),可接動(dòng)名詞或動(dòng)詞不定式。例如: It is worthwhile going / to go to the Summer Palace. Helping old people is a worthwhile activity. Thank you for your worthwhile suggestion. 試比較: 這個(gè)問題值得討論: The problem is worth discussing. The problem is worthy of being discussed. The problem is worthy to be discussed. The problem is worthy of discussion. It is worthwhile to discuss/discussing the problem. To discuss /Discussing the problem is worthwhile. 1.
