语意表达:worth,worthy,worth-while都为adj. 意为"值得"。
指点迷津:
1. worth: be worth + n. 当名词为金钱时,表示"…… 值得……" be worth doing sth. "……某事值得被做" The question is not worth discussing again and again.
2. worthy:be worthy of +n. 当名词为抽象名词时表示"……值得……" be worthy to be done "某事值得被做" The question is not worthy to be discussed again and again.
3. worth-while: be worth-while to do sth "值得做某事" worth while: It is worth while doing sth It is worth while sb to do sth.

I went and bought about six dollars' worth of potato chips...

句型出处:That's why it's worth so much.

语意表达:at one time一度、曾经
指点迷津:at a time 依次、逐一、每次。注意区分不同用法
1.Don't try to do everything at once,take it a bit at a time.不要什么事情都一块干,要一次做一点。
2.Take the pills two at a time.每次服2粒

考考你:
It is not ____ to discuss the question again and again.
A.worth B.worthy C.worth-while D.worth while

答案C. 由worth的用法可知,此句只适合词组be worth-while to do sth.。因此选C。
