worth somebody's while 精力
【講解】
此語多用于 it’s worth your/somebody's while to do something 這一句型中，例如：It would be worth your while to talk to the tuitor.（值得和導師談談。）與之相似的make it worth one’s while則指“酬謝某人；（貶）賄賂某人”。
【對話】
A:I don't know whether it's worth my while to do the postgraduate work.
A:我不知道讀研到底值不值得。
B:Sure it is. But it's really hard for you within three years.
B:當然值得，但三年時間對你來說是夠難的了。
A:That's what I'm thinking about.
A:我想的也正是這個原因。
B:But when you tide over this period, you'll certainly feel better in the future.
B:但你只要熬過這段時間就好了。
