相同点
- worth与worthy都可当作形容词,都有“值得”的意思。
不同点
worth
句子的主语是物质名词时,worth后面通常要加宾语,该宾语通常是名词或者动名词。
The painting is worth ten thousand dollars.(这幅画价值一万美元。)
worth your while的含义为“值得你(们)去做某事”,还有worth my / his / her / their / our while等短语。
It’s worth your while to see the movie. (这是部值得你看的电影。)
worthy
worthy可与介词of连用,组成短语be worthy of,后面可接名词或动名词的被动形式。
This is worthy of being done.(这是件值得做的事。)
worthy也可与不定式连用,此时worthy后面不可再用介词of,要直接用不定式,且不定式要用被动语态。
This book is worthy to be read.(这本书值得一读。)
