同义词worth和worthy怎么区别?
worth
worth是一个只能作表语的形容词,意思为“值……的”、“相当于……的价值的”、“有……价值的”、“值得……的”。后接名词、动名词的主动形式。例如:This second-hand car is worth $2000 at the most.(这辆二手车最多值2000美元)
worthy
worthy即可作表语,也可作定语。作定语时意思为“有价值的”、“值得尊敬的”、“应受到赏识的”;用作表语时意思为“值得……的”、“应得到……的”,其后接of sth.,也可以后接to do sth.,例如:1、That is worthy of note. (那件事值得注意);2、This is a worthy English-Chinese dictionary. (这是一本有价值的英汉词典);3、This is a worthy article.( 这是一篇值得一看的文章)。另外,worthy作后置定语时,必须用“worthy of +名词”结构。例如:There is nothing worthy of mention. (没有值得一提的事情)。
worth和worthy作表语时 所用句型差异
worth用于be worth doing,doing用主动式表被动,虽然其形式上是主动的,但其意义仍是被动的,例如:The film is worth seeing(这部电影值得看)(电影被看)
worthy用于该句型,要加of, 表达被动意义,还需用被动式,即worthy of后面接被动式的动名词,例如:The film is worthy of being seen(这部电影值得看)(电影被看)
The novel is worth reading=The novel is worthy of being read.(这本***值得一读)(***被读)
老实说,这是不是你纠结了很久的问题。
