有句谚语说得好，A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. (一鸟在手胜过双鸟在林)。那么嚼透一个单词的释义、用法、搭配与粗略地学习多个单词的表面意思相比，哪个更有价值、更值得 (worth) 呢？道理不言而喻。今天小V带大家一起来嚼透worth这个词。
首先，请看下列句子是否有误。
The house worths over a million pounds.
The clock is hardly worth to repair.
The film is very worth seeing.
History is a subject well worth being taught.
答案在最后，现在开始学习吧。
1. adj 用法同介词，后接名词、代词、数字或动词-ing形式，接动词-ing时，一般用主动形式表示被动意义；
2. n 掌握ten dollars’, etc. worth of sth的表达。
注：蓝框为句型搭配，红框为常用搭配
◇ be worth sth / doing在高考中考频较高；
◇ worth在高考各题型中均有出现，是写作常用词。
1. In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5,000 over ten years. (2011 上海完形)
2. Good opinions are worth sticking to because they can benefit us all. (2015 浙江书面表达)
3. Thankfully, I managed to get through the game and the pain was worth it in the end. (2011 安徽单选)
根据所给汉语提示，用worth完成下列句子。
1. Do you know ______________________________ (这幅画值多少钱)?
2. The fire caused ______________________________ (价值数千英镑的损失). (n)
3. It was a lot of hard work, but it ______________________________ (是非常值得的).
4. He was once thought to be a boy who ______________________________ (不值得教育). (2008 湖南书面表达)
5. It’s a long climb to the top, but ______________________________ (值得花费力气).
参考答案：
1. how much this painting is worth
2. thousands of pounds’ worth of damage / loss
3. is well worth it
4. was not worth educating
5. worth the effort
文章开头的四个句子都有误，请看正确答案：
The house is worth over a million pounds.
(worth从不用作动词)
The clock is hardly worth repairing.
(形容词worth后不接动词不定式，应使用worth doing sth 结构)
The film is well worth seeing.
(worth可用well修饰，不用very修饰)
History is a subject well worth teaching.
(worth后接动词-ing时，一般用主动形式表示被动意义)
你做对了吗？
