keep/bear ...in mind疑问

句子一:Floor tiles can be difficult to clean – worth keeping in mind when you choose a new floor. 

句子二:That is worth bearing in mind as House committees pursue their own investigations.

老师好,为什么keep  bear两个及物动词前面加了worth就……不及物了?

something be worth doing句型,传统语法认为worth后的动名词是主动形式表示被动意义。即句子的主语是动名词的逻辑宾语。所以及物动词doing后面就没有宾语了。这和 The book is difficult to read. 结构一样,read也是及物动词,其宾语缺失,因为句子的主语就是to read 的逻辑宾语。

现代语法有不同的解释,我就不赘述了。

网友需要搞清楚以下3种句型,worth后接动名词主动表示被动含义,相当于它的同根形容词worthy后面接不定式被动和动名词被动结构。

(1)主语+be worth doing

Such work is not worth doing. 

那样的工作不值得做。

(2)主语+be worthy to be done

Such work is not worthy to be done

那样的工作不值得做。

(3)主语+be worthy of being done

Such work is not worthy of being done. 

那样的工作不值得做。

备注:类似以上用法动词“want, require, need, deserve”唯一不同的就是,以上动词不需要变化,后面接动名词主动含义等于接不定式被动含义


Floor tiles can be difficult to clean – worth keeping in mind when you choose a new floor. 

=Floor tiles can be difficult to clean – worthy to be kept in mind when you choose a new floor. 

=Floor tiles can be difficult to clean – worthy of being kept in mind when you choose a new floor. 

句子二:

That is worth bearing in mind as House committees pursue their own investigations.

=That is worthy to born  in mind as House committees pursue their own investigations.

=That is worthy of being born  in mind as House committees pursue their own investigations.
