补充(1)It is worth while seeing [to see] seeing the movie. =The movie is worth seeing. 由此二句型混淆而来的 It is worth seeing the movie.或 The movie is worth while seeing. 都应该避免。 (2)在worth while之后通常用动名词,在worth one's while之后则用不定词: It would [will] be worth your while to see the movie. 字辨当名词时, worth, value均表物之价值: the worth [value] of a used car 严格而言worth指物体本身的道德、文化、精神上的价值, value指对利用者或他物之相关价值或交换价值: The true worth of a writer's [an artist's] work cannot be measured by its market value. 词族- worthlessadj.无价值的,无用的
