这本书值得一读。
worth表示"价值......"时,后接价值数量词;当表示"值得"时,后接名词、代词或动名词(不能接不定式),常用well修饰,不用very。如:
This laptop is worth 10 000 yuan and it is well worth buying.
这台笔记本电脑值10 000元,很值得买。
worthy 表示"有价值的;可尊敬的"时,常作定语;表示"值得"时,常作表语,结构为 worthy of sth.。如:
It is a worthy cause and worthy of our hardworking.
这是一份高尚的事业,值得我们努力。
worthy后面还可接动名词或不定式,结构分别是worthy of being done和worthy to be done。如:
The incident is worthy of being remembered.=The incident is worthy to be remembered.
这次事件值得纪念。

【考点聚焦】1) observe+宾语+宾语补足语(不带to的不定式/动词的-ing形式)。如:
The policeman observed the man open the window.
警察看到那个人打开了窗户。
The policeman observed the man trying to force the lock of the door.

2)如果observe用于被动结构,再加带to的不定式。如:

他们被注意着进了银行。
3)observe+从句。如:
The boy observed what was going on between Tom and his sister.
这个男孩注意着汤姆和他姐姐之间所发生的事。
4)请注意observe,watch,see,notice用法的区别:
observe 相当于watch carefully,指从不同的角度长时间地看并研究,尤其用于实验或研究等场合,如observe the stars(观察星星),observe the behavior of birds(观察鸟类的习性)等;
watch意为"看;观看,特别留意、感兴趣地看运动着的东西"。如 watch TV(看电视),watch a game(观看比赛)等;
see 指"看到;看见";强调看的结果,有意或无意地看到;
notice 指"看到;注意到;觉察到";偶尔看到细小的但可能是重要的。
