Từ worth có nghĩa là đáng, đáng giá. 'Worth one’s while' có nghĩa là đáng công lao, thì giờ hay tiền bạc.

Ví dụ
“The new addition on my neighbors’ house is spacious, well-designed and complements the rest of the house so nicely. They mentioned that, although the construction hadn’t taken long, finding the good architect had taken months, but it was a wise investment. It was certainly worth their while.”

“Maggie was just hired as the VP of marketing. She got the position after meeting the company’s CEO at a party a few months ago. Although she hadn’t planned on going at all, it turned out to be worth her while. She couldn’t be happier with how that casual encounter resulted in making an important business contact .”
