单词 | worth; worthwhile; worthy |
释义 | worth; worthwhile; worthy 都可以表示“值得做某事”,但用法结构不同。 ❖ worth的结构有: Sth1 is worth sth2. 如:The museum is worth a visit. 这个博物馆值得一看。 Sth is worth doing. = It's worth doing sth. 如:The book is worth reading. = It's worth reading the book. 这本书值得读。 不能说Sth is worth being done. 也不说It is worth to do sth. ❖ worthwhile的结构有: It is worthwhile doing sth (或to do sth). 主语为形式主语it。如:It is worthwhile reading(或to read)the book. 值得读读这本书。 不能说Sth is worthwhile doing. 也不能说Sth is worthwhile to be done. ❖ worthy的结构有: Sth is worthy of consideration/respect. Sb is worthy to do sth. 如:He's worthy to become mayor. 他值得成为市长。 Sth is worthy to be done. 如:The book is worthy to be read. 这本书值得读。 主语是具体的人或物,不能用形式主语it。worthy to后用do sth还是be done根据do与主语的逻辑关系来定:如果主语是do的发出者(一般为sb),用主动语态,此时do动词多为become, have等;如果主语是do 的受动者(一般为sth),用被动语态。 不能说Sth is worthy doing. 即用worthy时,不能用主动的doing表示被动的意思。 ❖ worth还可用表示“值多少钱,值得花…时间”,结构为:Sth is worth + money/time. 其他两个词不能用于此义。如:The book is worth five dollars. 这本书值5美元。不能说The book is worthy of five dollars. |
