本回答被网友采纳worth, worthy, worthwhile 这三个词均可表示“值得的”,由于它们词形相近,意义相似,所以许多同学经常将其用混。它们的用法区别:
一、从句法功能上看
从句法功能上看worth 通常只用作表语,不用于名词前作定语;worthy 和 worthwhile 可用作表语和定语。如:It isn‘t worth the trouble. 不值得费那个事。He is a worthy gentleman. 他是位值得尊敬的绅士。他是位值得尊敬的绅士。His behavior is worthy of great praise. 他的行为值得高度赞扬。They achieved a very worthwhile result. 他们取得了很有价值的成果。
We had a long wait, but it was worthwhile because we got the tickets. 我们等了很久,但还算值得,因为我们把票买到了。
二、从所使用的修饰语来看
worth 习惯上不用 very 修饰(要表示类似意思可用 well),而 worthy 和 worthwhile 则可以用副词very修饰。如:veryThat is very worthy of our attention. 那件事很值得我们注意。Nursing is a very worthwhile career. 护理工作是很值得干的职业。但习惯上不说:The work is very worth doing. (very 应改为 well)。
三、从搭配习惯来看
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;若其中的动词不及物,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。FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'">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。(n'">这个计划值得再讨论一次。 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。

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:

The second-hand house is worthy of being bought. = The second-hand house is worth buying.
