比较_worthless_valueless_priceless_invaluable

比较worthless valueless priceless invaluable Worthless adj.无用的；不值钱的Valueless adj.不足道的；毫无价值的，不值钱的Priceless adj.贵重得无法衡量价值的，无价的；极为有趣的，极为荒唐可笑的Invaluable adj.无价的，价值无法衡量的valuable, invaluable valueless, valued用法区别区别一：valuable (宝贵的，有价值的)和invaluable (极宝贵的，极有价值的)并不是一对反义词，而是一对意义相近的词，后者比前者语气更强，相当于extremely valuable。

如：It was a valuable (an invaluable) painting. 那是一幅很有(极有)价值的画。

Y our help has been valuable (invaluable) to us. 你对我们的帮助是非常宝贵的。

注：在现代英语中，invaluable 通常不用来谈论价格(price) 或钱(price) (money)，而是指“极其有用的”(=very useful indeed)，即侧重品质而不侧重东西。

区别二：valuable (宝贵的，有价值的)与valueless (无价值的，没有用的)是一对反义词。

如：This jewellery is valueless; it is made of glass and ordinary metals. 这首饰不值钱，它是由玻璃和普通金属做的。

The metal looked like gold, but in fact it was valueless [worthless]. 这块金属看起来像黄金，但实际上不值钱。

注：valueless 和worthless 是同义词，均指“无价值的”、“不值钱的”。

区别三：valued 表示“珍贵的”、“宝贵的”，指对某人来说是珍贵的，但对别人来说却并非如此。
