(very 應改為 well),從所使用的修飾語來看,Sandy Wong,從搭配習慣來看： 1. 有關 be worth 的搭配習慣,(1) be worth后可直接跟名詞、代詞或動名詞。如： The picture is worth $ 500. 這幅畫值 500 美元。 The clock is hardly worth repairing. 這臺鐘簡直不值得修理。 What is worth doing is worth doing well. 值得干的事就得干好。 注意：其后可接動名詞，不能接不定式，且接動名詞時，總是用主動形式表示被動意義。,(2) 在現(xiàn)代英語中，在be worth前使用形式主語it被認為是合習慣的。如： It isnt worth repairing the car. 這輛汽車不值得修了。 Is it worth visiting the city? 這個城市值得去看嗎? 但是，若不用形式主語it而直接用動名詞作主語則是錯誤的，如： 誤：Repairing the car is worth.,Sandy Wong,(3) 在be worth doing 結構中，除非句首用了形式主語it，否則句子主語總應是其動名詞的邏輯賓語；若其中的動詞不及物，應考慮加上適當?shù)慕樵~。如： Nothing he said was worth listening to. 他說的話沒有一句值得聽。 Shes not worth getting angry with. 犯不上跟她生氣。,Sandy Wong,2. 有關 be worthy 的搭配習慣,(1) be worthy 后不能直接跟名詞、代詞或動名詞，若要接，應借助介詞 of。如： Their efforts are worthy of your support. 他們的努力應得到你的支持。 Her behavior is worthy of praise. 她的行為是值得贊揚的。 (2) 與be worth后只接動名詞不接不定式不同，be worthy后不接動名詞，而接不定式(若該不定式要表示被動意義，則應用被動形式)。如： He is worthy to receive such honor. 他應該得到這種榮譽。 This suggestion is worthy to be considered. 這個建議值得考慮。,Sandy Wong,(3) 若要在be worthy后接動名詞，與后接名詞時的情形一樣，應借助介詞of，且該動名詞若要表示被動意義，要用被動形式。如： He is worthy of filling =to fill the post. 這個職位他當之無愧。 This suggestion is worthy of being considered =to be considered. 這個建議值得考慮。,Sandy Wong,3. 有關 be worthwhile 的搭配習慣,(1) be worthwhile 后接動名詞或不定式均可。如： It is worthwhile buying the dictionary. 這本詞典值得買。(其中的 worthwhile 也可換成 worth) It is worthwhile to discuss the plan again. 這個計劃值得再討論一次。(其中的 worthwhile 不能換成 worth，因為其后接用了不定式),Sandy Wong,(2) 有時可將worthwhile分開寫，此時也可在其中加上ones。如： Id think it worth while to go. 我認為值得去。 Do you think its worth while quarrelling with me? 你認為與我吵值得嗎? Would you like to do some gardening for me? Ill make it worth your while. 你愿意在我的花園里干些活嗎? 我不會虧待你的。 It is worth your while visiting to visit the museum. 這個博物館值得你去看看。,Sandy Wong,(3) 按傳統(tǒng)語法，It is worth (ones) while to do sth. doing sth. 結構必須用it作形式主語，其中的不定式或動名詞做句子的真正主語。,那個地方值得一去。-以下幾種譯法均正確 The place is worth a visit.
