worthy

Compared meaning: having value, or deserving something (adjective).

比较义项：表示某事物“有价值／值得”（形容词）。

• worth

  Used predicatively as 'be worth + amount/noun/-ing'; states how much something is worth or whether an action is worthwhile, not a regular gradable adjective before a noun.

  常用于系表结构“be worth + 数额／名词／动名词”，表示某物值多少钱，或某行为是否值得去做；不是可放在名词前的普通程度形容词。

  The necklace is worth about two thousand dollars, according to the appraiser.

  据鉴定师说，这条项链大约值两千美元。

• valuable

  A regular gradable adjective (very valuable, more valuable) describing something of high monetary or practical value; can be used before or after a noun, unlike worth.

  是普通的可分级形容词（very valuable，more valuable），表示某物具有很高的金钱或实用价值；既可放在名词前也可放在名词后，这点与 worth 不同。

  Her contacts in the industry proved extremely valuable when she needed a job.

  当她需要找工作时，她在业内的人脉证明了极其宝贵。

• worthy 本词

  Means deserving of respect, effort or attention, often unrelated to money; used as 'worthy of something' or before a noun ('a worthy cause'), not to state a price.

  表示值得尊敬、努力或关注，通常与金钱无关；常用于“worthy of...”结构或放在名词前（如“a worthy cause”），不用来说明价格。

  His years of dedication made him a worthy winner of the award.

  他多年的付出使他成为这个奖项当之无愧的获奖者。

Worth, valuable, and worthy relate to value, used differently. Worth means 'be worth' plus an amount, stating a price or whether something is worthwhile. Valuable is a regular adjective for high value, before or after a noun. Worthy means deserving of respect, unrelated to money.

这三个词都与“有价值”或“值得”相关，但侧重点和用法不同：worth 强调某事物具体值多少钱，或某行为是否值得去做，常用“be worth + 数额／名词／动名词”结构；valuable 强调某事物本身具有很高的金钱或实用价值，是可放在名词前后的普通形容词；worthy 强调值得尊敬、努力或关注，多用于道德或能力上的评价，通常与金钱无关，常搭配“worthy of...”。
