谈谈worth与worthy的用法

谈谈worth与worthy的用法

谈谈worth与worthy的用法worth与worthy是英语学习中常见的两个词,但其用法极易混淆。

现笔者将其用法归纳如下,希望有助于同学们的复习与运用。

一、worth作“值得;值”解时,是一个很常见,但又很特殊的叙述性形容词,通常在句中作表语,并且其后面要求有一个宾语,其宾语可以是名词、动名词或动词不定式。

worth有时也可用作定语。

其具体用法如下:1. 当句子的主语是物质名词而不是it时,worth后面要求有一个动名词或名词作宾语。

例如:①The above-mentioned decision is worth studying a little further. 上述决定值得进一步研究。

②What is happening here today is worth notice. 今天在这里发生的事值得关注。

③The microcomputer is worth ten thousand dollars. 这台微型电脑值一万美元。

2. 当句子的主语是it而不是物质名词时,可能有两种情况: A. it代表具体东西时,如金钱、物质等,其后接动名词,该动名词是worth的宾语,这时,it既是主语,在意义上又是动名词的逻辑宾语。

例如:①It is worth saving. 那是值得节约的。

②It is worth visiting again. 这里值得再一次参观。

B. it不代表具体东西时,worth后面一般应加上while,后面接动名词或动词不定式。

这时,it为形式主语,真正的主语为动名词或动词不定式。

接动名词或动词不定式的区别是:while前面有所有格时,一般接动词不定式;没有所有格时,一般接动名词。

例如:①It is worth our while to use waste materials. 废物值得利用。

②It is worth while pointing out that heating may bring about certain change in the structure of any material. 值得指出的是,加热会使任何物质的结构发生某种变化。

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。

(2) 在现代英语中,在be worth前使用形式主语it被认为是合习惯的。

如:It isn’t worth repairing the car. 这辆汽车不值得修了。

Is it worth visiting the city? 这个城市值得去看吗? 但是,若不用形式主语it而直接用动名词作主语则是错误的,如:误:Repairing the car is worth.(3) 在be worth doing 结构中,除非句首用了形式主语it,否则句子主语总应是其动名词的逻辑宾语;若其中的动词不及物,应考虑加上适当的介词。

如:Nothing he said was worth listening to. 他说的话没有一句值得听。

浅谈worth和worthy的用法

浅谈worth和worthy的用法

谈谈worth和worthy的用法worth和worthy作形容词,都可以作“值得的”解,但其用法有差异,请比较下面例句中worth和worthy的主要用法区别:1.The film is worth seeing.2.The film is worthy of being seen.3.It’s worth while to see (seeing) the film.4.The film is worthy to be seen.以上例句意思一样(都可以译作“这部电影值得一看”),但句型结构迥然不同。

例1表明worth后要用动名词的主动形式表示被动意义。

例2则说明worthy后应加of(of可以省略)再接动名词被动形式。

例3告诉我们(it is)worth后要加while也能跟动名词的主动形式。

例4表明worthy后可直接跟不定式的被动形式。

在语法功能上,例3中的it为形式主语,而不不定式动名词短语才是真正主语,因此,该句还可以转换为:To see (seeing) the film is worth while. (说明:不及原句自然。

)例4中的不定式却与前面的worthy一道用作表语(说明:worth和worthy都不能单独作表语)。

请读者还要注意:A.表示某物值多少钱通常用worth而不用worthy:The TV set is worth $500.B.worth 为表语形容词,因而只能作表语,而worthy既可作表语又可作定语:He is a worthy man.C.worth后可直接跟名词(一般限于表示消耗量,价值以及表示动作的名词),而worthy后须有of才能跟名词:The book is worth notice. 这本书值得注意。

His deed is worthy of praise. 他的行为应受到赞扬。

D.表示“很值得”,要用well修饰,不可用very修饰:The story is well worth listening to. 这个故事很值得一听。

这时,worthwhile = worthy.例如:①This is a worthwhile book.(该句可改为:This is a worthy book. = This book is worth leading. = This book is worthy of being read. = This book is worthy to be read.)这本书值得一读。

②It is worthwhile effort.这是值得努力做的事。
