【问】 葛传椝《英语惯用法词典》(时代出版社，P.711)认为It is worth discussing the questionagain.是错误的，因为discussing是实际主语，it是形式主语，worth后面没有宾语，所以不对。而必须改作The question is worth discussing again。但是，我在英语教科书中

却不止一次地读到过上面的被判为错误的用法。

【答】 现代语法学家和词典编纂者大都承认It is worth doing的用法是正确的。例如：

1. It is scarcely worth going home. (CGEL)

你回家几乎是不值得的。

2. It isn't worth waiting for him. (LDCE)

等待他是不值得的。

3. It isn't worth repairing the car.(PEU)

修理这辆汽车是不值得的。

4. The fact remains that the food is in one place and the need for it in another，and it isworth risking any number of rebuffs to bring the two together. (The Guardian)

实际情况仍然是一地有粮，他方需求。所以，要把双方召集到一起，无论遭受多少冷遇都是值得冒险的。(卫报)(译文引自《现代英语报刊阅读词典》)
