worth/worthy of1

问

（A）His suggestion is worth considering.

(B) His suggestion is worthy of considering.

上面两个句子的意义是否相同？

答

句(A)是正确的,因为当 worth 作表语时,虽然其主语是受动者,但 worth 后的动名词必须采用主动形式(considering)。句(B)则是错误的,因为充当表语的 worthy of 的主语是受动者时,worthy of 之后的动名词必须采用被动形式:

  1. Their deeds are worthy of being mentioned. 他们的事迹值得一提。

  2. These old churches are worthy of being visited. 这些古老的教堂颇值得参观。

  3. It is worthy of being remembered. 这是值得记忆的。

问

答

从语法上说,选 worthy of 或者选 worth 都是正确的。但从词语搭配来看,则选 worth 是正确的,因为 worth 可用于金钱方面,而 worthy of 一般不用在金钱方面。
