Having been alone for a bit, you will also appreciate your friends' company more and chances are your time spent together will be more worthwhile.
参考译文 独处一段时间后,你也会更加感激朋友的陪伴,你们在一起的时间也可能会更有价值。
难点突破 for a bit意为“一会儿”。一般情况下,名词company意为“公司”,而本句中company意为“陪伴,做伴”。
chances are (that)...意为“有可能……”,相当于It is likely that...,表示推测,如:The chances are that you will win the prize. = It is likely that you will win the prize.你可能会获奖。本句中省略了that,即chances are (that) your time spent together will be more worthwhile,宾语从句的主干是your time will be worthwhile。
考点归纳 像worthwhile这样由两个完整的单词组成的复合词,听的时候需要考生自己判断是一个词还是两个词,如meanwhile(同时)、otherwise(否则)、wristwatch(腕表)等。
worthwhile在使用时,若句子的主语为不定式或者动名词,就要用it is worthwhile结构,如:
It is worthwhile to read his new book. 他的新书值得一看。
另外,worth和while分开使用时,其常用结构为It is worth a/the while doing sth.或It is worth (one's) while to do sth.,这时while意为“花费的时间”,如:
1) It is worth a while seeing the film. 这部电影值得花时间去看看。
2) It is worth your while to see the film. 这部电影值得你花时间去看看。
