        关于worth,worthy和worthwhile的辨析

    1.worth 是表语形容词,后接名词、动名词或代词,worth有时也可以作名词

    ❣️It was worth ten dollars.它值10美元。

    ❣️The book is worth reading.这本书值得读。

    ❣️They're expensive,but they are worth it.它们很贵,但物有所值。

    ❣️They bought fifty thousand dollars'worth of equipment.他们买了五万美元的设备。

    ✅接动名词时,句中主语即是动名词(短语)意义上的宾语,因此可判断下面两句的正误:

    ❣️The film is worth going to see.[√]

          这部电影值得去看。

    ❣️The event is not worth looking forward.[×](应说looking forward to)

    ✅另外,be worth one's salt意为“有能力,称职”;be not worth a damn/a hoot/a straw/a cent意为“毫无价值”。例如:

    ❣️What he has done shows that he is worth his salt.他的作为表明他称职。

    ❣️What he said was not worth a damn.He didn't know anything about the subject.他的话毫无价值,他对这个专题一窍不通。

    ✅【提示】worth后的动名词不可再有宾语;若动词不能用于被动语态,其动名词形式不可用作worth的宾语。例如:

    ❣️He thought a merchant was worth being.[×]

    ❣️The book is not worth reading it.[×]

    2.worthy 作定语修饰名词时表示“有价值的,可敬的”

    ❣️We should live a worthy life.我们应该过一种有价值的生活。

    ❣️He is a worthy man.他是个可敬的人。

    ✅worthy与of连用,后面可以接名词,其结构是:
