考考你
Q1对错判断
判断下面句子里 worth 的用法是否正确:
This documentary is worth to watch if you are interested in history.
✓ 正确版本
This documentary is worth watching if you are interested in history.
如果你对历史感兴趣,这部纪录片值得一看。
worth 后只接动名词(doing),不接不定式(to do)。worthwhile 才能同时接 to do 和 doing。
Q2近义选词
选择最恰当的词填空:
After years of effort, she finally felt that all the hard work had been truly ___ .
Aworthwhile
Bmeaningful
✓ 经过多年努力,她终于觉得所有的辛苦都是值得的
此句强调付出的代价换来了回报,是 worthwhile 的典型语境。meaningful 偏向情感和精神意义,不如 worthwhile 直接回应"代价是否换来了值得的结果"。
Q3翻译应用
用 worthwhile 翻译下面句子(可参考 writing_upgrade 字段的搭配):
尽管备考过程十分艰辛,但为了目标而付出的努力最终是值得的
Although the preparation process was exhausting, the effort made for the goal ultimately proved worthwhile.
关键搭配:proved worthwhile
proved worthwhile 是议论文结论段常见表达,暗含代价与回报的权衡,比 was useful/good 更有说服力。
