易错句子This movie is worthy watching.
正确表达This movie is worth watching.
表示“值得做某事”时，英语用 be worth + 动名词，worth 后直接跟动名词，不加介词；worthy 不能这样单独接动名词。要保留 worthy，必须说 be worthy of + 名词/动名词（This movie is worthy of watching）。两词都对应汉语“值得”，因此最容易混用。

易错句子He is worthy praise.
正确表达He is worthy of praise.
worthy 表示“值得……、配得上……”时，后面必须接介词 of 再加名词或动名词，即 worthy of sth / worthy of doing sth。汉语“值得称赞”里没有介词，学生常直接接名词而漏掉 of。

易错句子It is worthy to learn a second language.
正确表达It is worthwhile to learn a second language.
