worth, worthy, worthwhile的用法

由一道改错题想到的

He spent a whole day in the countryside,and Li Ming said what he had done was worth. (将worth 改为worthwhile)

1. worth不能单独放在名词前面作定语，当它与while构成worthwhile时则可作前置定语。这时，worthwhile = worthy.例如： ①This is a worthwhile book. （该句可改为：This is a worthy book. = This book is worth leading. = This book is worthy of being read. = This book is worthy to be read. ）这本书值得一读。 ②It is worthwhile effort. 这是值得努力做的事。

2. 用作后置定语。worth放在名词后面作定语时，必须接一个动名词。例如： ①Tianjin is a city worth visiting. 天津是一个值得参观的城市。 ②This is a question worth discussing. 这是一个值得讨论的问题。

（一）worthy作表语

1. worthy与of连用时，构成be worthy of，of的后面可以接名词或动名词的被动形式。例如： ①That is worthy of note. 那件事值得注意。 ②This phenomenon is worthy of being studied. 这种现象值得研究。

2. worthy可与动词不定式连用，动词不定式也要用被动式。但worthy后面不可再用介词of，须直接接不定式。例如： ①This problem is worthy to be considered. 这个问题值得考虑。 ②The film is worthy to be seen again. 这部电影值得再看一遍。

（二）worthy作定语

1. 作前置定语。例如： ①This is a worthy English-Chinese dictionary. 这是一本有价值的英汉词典。 ②This is a worthy article. 这是一篇值得一看的文章。

2. 作后置定语时，必须用“worthy of +名词”结构。例如： ①There is nothing worthy of mention. 没有值得一提的事情。 ②This is behaviour worthy of praise. 这是值得称赞的行为。
