Learner notes
Memory Tip
拆开记:un(不)+ worthy(值得)=不值得的。想象自己摇头说“不值得”,un- 就像那一下“不”的否定。
Context & Register
语域:formal 常见场景:正式写作、道德评价、自我反省 该词比较正式,多用于书面或正式场合,表示“不值得、不配”或“没有价值的”。口语中更常说 not worthy 或 doesn't deserve。选择时需注意语境,随意交谈中用它会显得生硬。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 /wɝði/ 结尾,和 unworthy 的重读音节 /wɝði/ 相同:worthy、trustworthy、newsworthy、noteworthy、praiseworthy、blameworthy。注意不要只看拼写:worth /wɝθ/ 以 /θ/ 结尾,swarthy /ˈswɔːrði/ 的元音是 /ɔː/,它们都不与 unworthy 押韵。
