核心问题
worthy 用作表语时,后面是不是总跟介词 of 短语,而不能跟动词不定式?
词典解答
worthy 用作表语时,除了跟介词 of 连用之外,还可以跟动词不定式连用。例如:
-
She said she was not worthy to be my wife. (Wilde) 她说她不配做我的妻子。
-
You are not worthy to live in the same world with her. (Shaw) 你不配跟她生活在同一个世界上。
-
He is worthy to have a place in the team. 他有资格成为队员。
-
She said she was not worthy to accept the honour they had offered her. (ALD) 她说她不配接受他们所给予的荣誉。
如果主语是受动者(被动的),则应采用动词不定式的被动形式:
-
They are not worthy to be chosen. (McArthur) 他们不配被选上。
-
It is worthy to be remembered. 这是值得记忆的。
