worth的用法
1.后接动词时,该动词要用动名词,不能用不定式,并且该动名词习惯上要用主动形式表示被动意义,不能直接使用被动式,如可说:
The film isn' t worth seeing.但不能说:
The film is worth being seen. 注意,虽然be worth后接动词要用动名词,但在It’s worth
(one' s) while后却可接动名词也可接不定式。
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:
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,如不能说:
Repairing the car is worth.
3.在be worth doing结构中,除非句首用了形式主语it ,句子主语总应是其后动名词的逻辑宾语;若
其中的动词不及物,应考虑加上适当的介词:
Nothing he said was worth listening to.他说的话没有-句值得听。
She' s not worth getting angry with.犯不上跟她生气。
4.若要加强其语气,可在其前使用well, really, very much等修饰语,但习惯上不用very :
It was well worth waiting for. 这件事倒是很值得等待。
It was well worth waiting for.这件事倒是很值得等待。
The book is really worth reading.这本书确实值得一看。
He has something very much worth saying.他有些话很值得讲。
[谚语] An hour in the morning is worth two in the evening.一日之计在于晨。
