worth, worthy, worthwhile的用法区别详解
worth, worthy, worthwhile的用法区别【一】
这三个词都是形容词,都有“值得的”的意思,但用法或搭配关系不同。
1. worth是一个只能作表语的形容词,意思为“值……的”、“相当于……的价值的”、“有……价值的”、“值得……的”。后接名词、接动名词的主动形式。例如:
This second-hand car is worth $2000 at the most.
The exhibition is worth a visit/visiting.
It’s not worth getting angry with him.
The question is not worth discussing again and again.
2. worthy可作表语,也可作定语。作定语时意思为“有价值的”、“值得尊敬的”、“应受到赏识的”;用作表语时意思为“值得……的”、“应得到……的”,其后接of sth.,也可以后接to do sth.,例如:
①That is worthy of note. 那件事值得注意。
②This phenomenon is worthy of being studied. 这种现象值得研究。
③This problem is worthy to be considered. 这个问题值得考虑。
④The film is worthy to be seen again. 这部电影值得再看一遍。
⑤This is a worthy English-Chinese dictionary. 这是一本有价值的英汉词典。
⑥This is a worthy article. 这是一篇值得一看的文章。
⑦He said he was not worthy to accept such honour
⑧The school has educated many worthy young people.
⑨The question is not worthy to be discussed again and again.
作后置定语时,必须用“worthy of +名词”结构。例如:
⑩There is nothing worthy of mention. 没有值得一提的事情。
②This is behavior worthy of praise. 这是值得称赞的行为。
③Something find and rare --- something worthy of the honor of being owned by
Jim.
注:“worthy of+动名词”与“worth+动名词”在形式上完全不同:worthy of后面接被动式的动名词;而worth后面接主动式的动名词,虽然在形式上是主动的,但其意义仍然是被动的。
试比较:
The second-hand house is worthy of being bought. = The second-hand house is
worth buying.
3. worthwhile与worthy一样,既可作表语,又可作定语。表示某事因重要、有趣或受益大
而值得花时间、金钱或努力去做,一般做“值得的”、“值得做的”、“有意义的”解。用作表语时,可接动名词或动词不定式。例如:
The Summer Palace is worthwhile going / to go to have a visit.
Helping old people is a worthwhile activity.
Thank you for your worthwhile suggestion.
I really feel I am doing something worthwhile and I am having a great time doing
it
worth, worthy, worthwhile的用法区别【二】
worth, worthy, worthwhile都是形容词,意为"值得"。
1. worth:be worth + n.当名词为金钱时,表示"…… 值得……"
常见的有:
It ’s worth while to do.
It ’s worth(someone’s)while doing
be worth doing sth."……某事值得被做"
The question is not worth discussing again and again. 这问题不值得反复讨论。
2. worthy:
be worthy of +n.当名词为抽象名词时表示"……值得……"
be worthy to be done "某事值得被做"
The question is not worthy to be discussed again and again.
His deed is worthy to be praised.
3. worthwhile:be worthwhile to do sth"值得做某事"
It is worthwhile to ask him to join the club.值得邀请他加入俱乐部。
典型例题
It is not ____ to discuss the question again and again.
A. worth
B. worthy
C. worthwhile
D. worth while
答案 C. 由worth的用法可知,此句只适合词组be worthwhile to do sth.。选C。
为何不选D,worthwhile 和worth while怎么区分等等问题,在此做一解释:
worthwhile可修饰名词或接不定式:
be worthwhile to do sth"值得做某事"
It is worthwhile to ask him to join the club.值得邀请他加入俱乐部。
worth不能单独放在名词前面作定语,当它与while构成worthwhile时则可作前置定语。这时,worthwhile = worthy。
