  以上译法均正确,如果你都会,而且一目了然,建议跳过,别浪费你宝贵的时间,如果还赶脚有点夹生,那么请继续看:

  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。它们的用法区别:

  一、从句法功能上看

  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:

  This second-hand car is worth $2000 at the most.

  The exhibition is worth a visit/visiting.

  It isn‘t worth the trouble. 不值得费那个事。

  This phenomenon is worthy of being studied.这种现象值得研究。

  That is worthy of note.那件事值得注意。

  We had a long wait, but it was worthwhile because we got the tickets. 我们等了很久,但还算值得,因为我们把票买到了。

  二、从所使用的修饰语来看

  worth 习惯上不用 very 修饰(要表示类似意思可用 well),而 worthy 和 worthwhile 则可以用副词very修饰。如:

  That is very worthy of our attention. 那件事很值得我们注意。
