为什么说The book is worthwhile reading不对?那么The book is worth rea

2个回答

  • It is worthwhile to read the book(也可说reading the book)

    The book is worth reading.

    1.有关 be worth 的搭配习惯

    (1) be worth 后可直接跟名词、代词或动名词.如:

    The picture is worth $500.这幅画值 500 美元.

    The clock is hardly worth repairing.这台钟简直不值得修理.

    What is worth doing is worth doing well.值得干的事就得干好.

    注意:其后可接动名词,不能接不定式,且接动名词时,总是用主动形式表示被动意义.

    (2)在现代英语中,在 be worth 前使用形式主语 it 被认为是合习惯的.如:

    It isn’t worth repairing the car.这辆汽车不值得修了.

    Is it worth visiting the city?这个城市值得去看吗?

    但是,若不用形式主语 it 而直接用动名词作主语则是错误的,如:

    误:Repairing the car is worth.

    (3)在 be worth doing 结构中,除非句首用了形式主语 it,否则句子主语总应是其动名词的逻辑宾语;若其中的动词是不及物动词,应考虑加上适当的介词.如:

    Nothing he said was worth listening to.他说的话没有一句值得听.

    She’s not worth getting angry with.犯不上跟她生气.

    2.有关 be worthy 的搭配习惯

    (1) be worthy 后不能直接跟名词、代词或动名词,若要接,应借助介词 of.如:

    Their efforts are worthy of your support.他们的努力应得到你的支持.

    Her behavior is worthy of praise.她的行为是值得赞扬的.

    (2)与 be worth 后只接动名词不接不定式不同,be worthy 后不接动名词,而接不定式(若该不定式要表示被动意义,则应用被动形式).如:

    He is worthy to receive such honor.他应该得到这种荣誉.

    This suggestion is worthy to be considered.这个建议值得考虑.

    (3)若要在 be worthy 后接动名词,与后接名词时的情形一样,应借助介词 of,且该动名词若要表示被动意义,要用被动形式.如:

    He is worthy of filling 〔=to fill〕 the post.这个职位他当之无愧.

    This suggestion is worthy of being considered 〔=to be considered〕.这个建议值得考虑.

    3.有关 be worthwhile 的搭配习惯

    (1) be worthwhile 后接动名词或不定式均可.如:

    It is worthwhile buying the dictionary.这本词典值得买.(其中的 worthwhile 也可换成 worth)

    It is worthwhile to discuss the plan again.这个计划值得再讨论一次.(其中的 worthwhile 不能换成 worth,因为其后接用了不定式)

    (2)有时可将 worthwhile 分开写,此时也可在其中加上 one’s.如:

    I’d think it worth while to go.我认为值得去.

    Do you think it’s worth while quarrelling with her?你认为与她吵值得吗?

    Would you like to do some gardening for me?I’ll make it worth your while.你愿意在我的花园里干些活吗?我不会亏待你的.

    It is worth your while visiting 〔to visit〕 the museum.这个博物馆值得你去看看.

    (3) 按传统语法,It is worth (one’s) while to do sth 〔doing sth〕 结构必须用 it 作形式主语,其中的不定式或动名词做句子的真正主语.
