词组 | worthy |
释义 | 1.下面四句意思相同: This is worthy to be done. This is worthy of being done. This is worthy being done. This is worth doing. 下面几点该注意: (1)第一句里的 to be done 不可改作 to do。 (2)第二句里的 of being done 不可改作 of doing。 (3)第三句里的 being done 不可改作 doing。 (4)第四句里的 doing 不可改作 being done。参见 worth 2 (5)第一句不很自然。第三句现在远不及第二句普通。假使动名词改作名词,也是这样,如 This is worthy consideration 现在远不及 This is worthy of consideration 普通。 (6)第四句最普通。 (7)worthy 后面的不定式不一定属于被动语态,比较下面两句: This question is worthy to be considered. (这问题是值得被考虑的。) He is worthy to consider this question. (他是值得考虑这问题的[他有考虑这问题的能力]。) (8)说“值得被某人……的”通常用第一句,不用第二句或第三句,不可用第四句。参见 worth 7 2.下面两句意思不同: This task is not worthy of him. (这件工作配不上他[太简易,配不上有像他这样本领、经验等的人]。) He is not worthy of this task. (他配不上这件工作[他的本领、经验等太差,配不上这件工作]。) 3.worthy 不可单独用作表语,如不可说 He is worthy 或 The reward is worthy,该改作 He is a worthy man 和 This is a worthy reward。worthy man 和 man of worth 略有不同。worthy man 里的 worthy 往往含有“还算不坏”、“殊堪嘉尚”等不很尊敬的意思,man of worth 是“德才兼备的人”。 |
