worthwhile的几种用法「worthwhile造句」
worthwhile的用法
worth, worthy 与 worthwhile三者均可表示“值得的”,其区别如下:

1. 从句**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。
His behaviour 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。
2. 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 则可以用副词修饰。如:
That 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)
3. 从结构搭配来看:
(1) be worth 后可直接跟名词、代词、动名词(该动名词用主动形式表示被动意义),但不能后接不定式。如:
The picture is worth $ 500. 这幅画值 500 美元。
The book is worth reading. / It’s worth reading the book. 这本书值得读。
注意不说:The book is worth to read. / The book is worth being read.
(2) 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,也可后接不定式。如:
Their efforts are worthy of your support. 他们的努力应得到你的支持。
He is worthy to receive such honour. 他应该得到这种荣誉。
This suggestion is worthy to be considered. 这个建议值得考虑。(注意:此句中的不定式要用被动形式表示被动意义)
(3) 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。(其中的 worthwhile 不能换成 worth,因为其后接用了不定式)
4. 在很多情况下,同一个意思可用几种不同的形式表达。如:
那个地方值得一去。
正:The place is worth a visit.
正:The place is worthy of a visit.
正:The place is worth visiting.
正:It is worth visiting the place.
