Usage Note :
Be careful not to confuse the words priceless, invaluable and worthless. Something which is priceless is so precious that it is difficult to give it a value. …priceless masterpieces by Canova and Bernini. Something which is invaluable is very useful indeed. It has a spelling checker, which is invaluable if you are dyslexic. In contrast, something that is worthless is of very little value. I'm afraid your shares are now worthless.
注意不要混淆 priceless,invaluable 和 worthless。priceless表示非常珍贵,因而难以计算其价值,如:priceless masterpieces by Canova and Bernini(卡诺瓦和贝尔尼尼的无价杰作)。invaluable 表示非常有用,如:It has a spelling checker, which is invaluable if you are dyslexic(它带有一个拼写检查程序,对有诵读困难的人非常有用)。相反,worthless 表示没有什么价值,如:I'm afraid your shares are now worthless(恐怕你的股票现在一文不值了)。
