词语用法

prep. (介词)

1. 有些语法学家认为worth是形容词,但实际上worth更具有介词的语法特征,可支配名词短语,带逻辑主体的动名词和wh-从句,但不能跟主动不定式。
2. worth常用于sth is worth v -ing结构中,动名词短语在这里表示被动意义。本结构中的sth 有时可换用it,这时it是形式主语,动名词短语是真正主语。

n. (名词)

1. worth用作名词时意为“价值”,其前的名词主语如具有复数意义,则应采取复数形式并加上所有格形式'或 's 。
2. “...pounds worth+of+复数名词”在句中作主语时,在强调“价值”时谓语动词用单数形式,强调of的宾语名词时谓语动词用复数形式。

词义辨析

prep. (介词)

worth, worthy

• 这两者用法的区别在于:worth是介词,不能作定语,作表语时后面必须接名词性词组; worthy是形容词,可用作定语,作表语时后面接“of＋名词”或动词不定式。

n. (名词)

worth, merit, value, virtue

• 这几个词都可以表示“价值”。merit通常指人为价值,所评论的事物本身也许比真实的价值高; value指“价值,意义”,含有excellent的意味; virtue通常指对人、物的“好处,优越性”; worth通常指人们估计的价值比其本身的价值高。

worth，value

• 这两个名词均有“价值”之意。
• worth与value近义，但前者强调事物本身的价值。
• value侧重指使用价值，着重人、物或事所具有的重要性、用途或优秀品质等。

worth，worthy，worthwhile

• 这些词均可表“值得的”之意。
• worth前置词，后接名词或相当于名词的词，指做某事有一定价值或意义。
• worthy形容词，与worth同义，但搭配不相同。
• worthwhile形容词，用作表语或定语，指某事物是值得的，或某事是值得做的。

词源解说

• ☆ 直接源自古英语的weor，意为价值相等；最初源自古日耳曼语的werthaz，意为朝向，相反。
