live, alive, lively, living的区别: ⑵ alive、live、living都有“活的、有生命的”意思，与dead意义相反。但live通常只作前置定语，且一般用于动物；alive、living不仅可作定语（alive只能置于名词后；living一般置于名词前，也可置于名词后），也可以作表语。 如：

This is a live (=living) fish. (=This is a fish alive.) 这是一条活鱼。（指动物，且作定语时，三者均可用） Who's the greatest man alive (=living man)? 谁是当今最伟大的人物？（指人，不能用live） The fish is still alive (=living) 那条鱼还活着。（指动物作表语时不能用live）。

live, alive, lively, living的区别: ⑶ living主要指在某个时候是活着的，而alive指本来有死的可能，但仍活着的。而且，作主语补足语或宾语补足语时，只能用alive；作比喻义（如“活像……”、“活生生的”等）解时，要用living。 如： The enemy officer was caught alive. (作主语补足语，不用living） 那位敌方军官被活捉了。

We found the snake alive. (作宾语补足语，不用living） He is the living image of his father. (比喻义，不用alive） 他活象他父亲。 ⑷只有living前加the方可表示“活着的人”，作主语时，视作复数。 如： The living are more important to us than the dead. 活着的人对我们来说比死去的人更重要。

worth、worthy、worthwhile的用法区别 这三个词都是形容词，都有“值得的”的意思，但用法或搭配关系不同。 1. worth是一个只能作表语的形容词，意思为“值……的”、“相当于……的价值的”、“有……价值的”、“值得……的”。后接名词、接动名词的主动形式。例如： This second-hand car is worth $2000 at the most. The exhibition is worth a visit/visiting.

2. worthy可作表语，也可作定语。作定语时意思为“有价值的”、“值得尊敬的”、“应受到赏识的”；用作表语时意思为“值得……的”、“应得到……的”，其后接of sth.，也可以后接to do sth.，例如： That is worthy of note. 那件事值得注意。 This phenomenon is worthy of being studied. 这种现象值得研究。 This problem is worthy to be considered. 这个问题值得考虑。

This is a worthy English-Chinese dictionary. 这是一本有价值的英汉词典。 作后置定语时，必须用“worthy of +名词”结构。例如： There is nothing worthy of mention. 没有值得一提的事情。 The second-hand house is worthy of being bought. = The second-hand house is worth buying.

3. worthwhile与worthy一样，既可作表语，又可作定语。表示某事因重要、有趣或受益大而值得花时间、金钱或努力去做，一般做“值得的”、“值得做的”、“有意义的”解。用作表语时，可接动名词或动词不定式。例如：
