文法講座 047:句型「…是值得的」:it pays to V原 / is worth / is worthy of / is worthwhile


▍以下都可傳達「值得」的意思:

1️⃣「做…是值得的」:It pays(paid)to 動詞原形。用不定詞(to 動詞原形)來補充說明虛主詞 it。

2️⃣「做…是值得的」:It is(was)worthwhile + to 動詞原形 / Ving

3️⃣「值得 / 價值…」:be worth + N / Ving / 數字
 
4️⃣「值得 …」:be worthy of + N,當中of 為介係詞,故後方需搭配名詞。

例:努力是值得的。因為天下沒有不勞而獲的事。每個成功的背後都是數不盡的辛苦付出。

✓ It pays to work hard because nothing comes easy. Behind every success are endless hours of plain hard work.
✓ It is worthwhile to work hard because nothing comes easy.
✓ It is worthwhile working hard because nothing comes easy.

例:為這些雞毛蒜皮的小事生氣值得嗎?

✓ Is it worthwhile to get angry over such trivial matters?
✓ Is it worthwhile getting angry over such trivial matters?
✓ Does it pay to get angry over such trivial matters?

例:墾丁國家公園值得一遊。

✓ National Park is worth visiting.
✓ National Park is worth a visit.
✓ National Park is worthy of a visit. 

例:這件用3公斤的黃金打造而成的襯衫價值 250 萬美金。

✓ The shirt made with 3 Kgs of gold is worth $2,500,000.

➤注意:說明物品價值多少錢時,只能用 be worth + 數字。be worthy of 後方雖也是加名詞,但不可搭配「數字」。

例:Tom 愛吹牛。他不值得信任。

✓ Tom loves bragging. He isn't worthy of your trust.
✓ Tom loves bragging. He isn't worth your trust.
