worth, worthy, worthwhile 这三个词均可表示“值得的”,由于它们词形相近,意义相似,所以许多同学经常将其用混。
从句法功能上看worth 通常只用作表语,不用于名词前作定语;worthy 和 worthwhile 可用作表语和定语。如:It isn’t worth the trouble. 不值得费那个事。He is a worthy gentleman. 他是位值得尊敬的绅士。他是位值得尊敬的绅士。His behavior is worthy of great praise. 他的行为值得高度赞扬。They achieved a very worthwhile result. 他们取得了很有价值的成果。
从搭配习惯来看
be worth后可直接跟名词、代词或动名词。如:The picture is worth $ 500. 这幅画值500 美元。The clock is hardly worth repairing. 这台钟简直不值得修理。What is worth doing is worth doing well. 值得干的事就得干好。注意:其后可接动名词,不能接不定式,且接动名词时,总是用主动形式表示被动意义。
be worthy 后不能直接跟名词、代词或动名词,若要接,应借助介词 of。如:Their efforts are worthy of your support. 他们的努力应得到你的支持。 Her behavior is worthy of praise. 她的行为是值得赞扬的。
be worthwhile 后接动名词或不定式均可。如:It is worthwhile buying the dictionary. 这本词典值得买。(其中的 worthwhile 也可换成 worth)It is worthwhile to discuss the plan again. 这个计划值得再讨论一次。worthwhile 不能换成 worth,因为其后接用了不定式)
