7. you must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the united kingdom worthwhile.如果想使你在英國的旅程有意義，你必須睜大雙眼。
解讀：1)句中的keep your eyes open和make your trip worthwhile都是“動詞＋賓語＋形容詞作賓補”結構。
he found the room open.他發現房間是開著的。
the rain made the ground wet.雨使地面浸濕了。
2)worthwhile adj.值得做的,常用于it is worthwhile to do sth./doing sth.中。
i don’t think it is worthwhile.我認為不值得做這件事。
it is worthwhile discussing/to discuss the question.討論一下這個問題是值得的。
注意：worth, worthy 和worthwhile的區別
worth現在英語中被看作介詞，因為它后面必須帶名詞或動名詞。后接動名詞時以主動形式表達被動的意思，接名詞時須接表示價值、代價的名詞。
worthy是形容詞，在句中作表語或定語。作表語時，用be worthy of ＋n./doing sth. 或 be worthy to be done 結構。
this book is well worth reading.這本書很值得一讀。
this dictionary is worth ten yuan.這本字典值10元。
the place is worthy of a visit/ being visited.這個地方是值得參觀的。
this suggestion is worthy to be considered.這個建議是值得考慮的。
