worth、worthy、worthwhile的用法区别
这三个词都是形容词，都有“值得的”的意思，但用法或搭配关系不同。
1. 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、接动名词的主动形式。例如：
This second-hand car is worth $2000 at the most.
The exhibition is worth a visit/visiting.
It’s not worth getting angry with him.
The question is not worth discussing again and again.
2. worthy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：
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。
③This problem is worthy to be considered. 这个问题值得考虑。
④The film is worthy to be seen again. 这部电影值得再看一遍。
⑤This is a worthy English-Chinese dictionary. 这是一本有价值的英汉词典。
⑥This is a worthy article. 这是一篇值得一看的文章。
⑦He said he was not worthy to accept such honour
⑧The school has educated many worthy young people.
⑨The question is not worthy to be discussed again and again.
作后置定语时，必须用“worthy of +名词”结构。例如：
⑩There is nothing worthy of mention. 没有值得一提的事情。
②This is behavior worthy of praise. 这是值得称赞的行为。
③Something find and rare --- something worthy of the honor of being owned by Jim.
(S3 Unit 10 P84)
注：“worthy of+动名词”与“worth+动名词”在形式上完全不同：worthy of后面接被动式的动名词；而worth后面接主动式的动名词，虽然在形式上是主动的，但其意义仍然是被动的。试比较：
The second-hand house is worthy of being bought. = The second-hand house is worth buying.
3. worthwhile与worthy一样，既可作表语，又可作定语。表示某事因重要、有趣或受益大而值得花时间、金钱或努力去做，一般做“值得的”、“值得做的”、“有意义的”解。用作表语时，可接动名词或动词不定式。例如：
The Summer Palace is worthwhile going / to go to have a visit.
Helping old people is a worthwhile activity.
Thank you for your worthwhile suggestion.
I really feel I am doing something worthwhile and I am having a great time doing it.
一句多译：
The place is worth a visit.
The place is worthy of a visit.
The place is worth visiting.
It is worth visiting the place.
The place is worthy of being visited.
The place is worthy to be visited.
It is worthwhile visiting the place.
It is worthwhile to visit the place.
