worth, worthy, worthwhile的区别有哪些?

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: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。?

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:veryThat?is?very?worthy?of?our?attention.?那件事很值得我们注意。Nursing?is?a?very?worthwhile?career.?护理工作是很值得干的职业。但习惯上不说:The?work?is?very?worth?doing.?(very?应改为?well)。

三、从搭配习惯来看?

有关?be?worth?的搭配习惯?

(1)?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。?

(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。She’s?not?worth?getting?angry?with.?犯不上跟她生气。?

2.?有关?be?worthy?的搭配习惯?

(1)?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。

(2)?与be?worth后只接动名词不接不定式不同,be?worthy后不接动名词,而接不定式(若该不定式要表示被动意义,则应用被动形式)。如:He?is?worthy?to?receive?such?honor.?他应该得到这种荣誉。FONT-FAMILY:?'Times?New?Roman'">This?suggestion?is?worthy?to?be?considered.?这个建议值得考虑。?

(3)?若要在be?worthy后接动名词,与后接名词时的情形一样,应借助介词of,且该动名词若要表示被动意义,要用被动形式。如:He?is?worthy?of?filling?[=to?fill]?the?post.?这个职位他当之无愧。This?suggestion?is?worthy?of?being?considered?[=to?be?considered].?这个建议值得考虑。?

3.?有关?be?worthwhile?的搭配习惯的搭配习惯?

(1)?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。(n'">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)?

(2)?有时可将worthwhile分开写,此时也可在其中加上one‘s.如:I’d?think?it?worth?while?to?go.?我认为值得去。
