Worthy= deserving 在句中做表语或定语。做表语时, + of + n./ being done
+ to do Eg. The place is worthy of a visit.
This novel is not worthy of being translated.
This suggestion is worthy to be considered.
Worthy 做定语时,意思是“ 可尊敬的,有价值的”。(= deserving respect)但在实际应用中往往带有幽默,讽刺“还算不错”的意味。
Eg. This worthy gentleman couldn’t even tell wheat from barley。
那位可尊敬的先生连大麦和小麦分不清。
Worthy 与worth的区别:
1)worth用作形容词时和worthy差不多,表“值”。
2)两者作表语时,都不可单用。
3)worth做形容词时只能作表语。+doing的主动形式来表示被动的意义。或+ n.
This book is well worth reading .
This dictionary is worth ten yuan。
Worth while 的意思是“值得”。可以单独用作表语。还常用在“ it is worth while”句系型中,+doing/ to do
I don’t think it is worth while.
It is worth while discussing / to discuss the question.
