擴展資料:
(1)在現代英語中,在 be worth 前使用形式主語 it 被認為是合習慣的。如:
It isn’t worth repairing the car. 這輛汽車不值得修了。
但是,若不用形式主語 it 而直接用動名詞作主語則是錯誤的,如:
誤:Repairing the car is worth.
(2)有關 be worthy?的搭配習慣
be worthy 後不能直接跟名詞、代詞或動名詞,若要接,應借助介詞of。如:
Their efforts are worthy of your support. 他們的努力應得到妳的支持。
(3)與 be worth 後只接動名詞不接不定式不同,be worthy 後不接動名詞,而接不定式(若該不定式要表示被動意義,則應用被動形式)。如:
This suggestion is worthy to be considered. 這個建議值得考慮。
(4)若要在 be worthy 後接動名詞,與後接名詞時的情形壹樣,應借助介詞 of,且該動名詞若要表示被動意義,要用被動形式。如:
This suggestion is worthy of being considered 〔=to be considered〕. 這個建議值得考慮。
(5)有關 be worthwhile?的搭配習慣
(1) be worthwhile 後接動名詞或不定式均可。如:
It is worthwhile buying the dictionary. 這本詞典值得買。(其中的 worthwhile 也可換成 worth)
