worth 後面加 to 定 ing?
✗ 你會咁寫
This problem is worth to discuss, and sports play a crucial role to maintain students’ mental health.
✓ 應該係
This problem is worth discussing, and sports play a crucial role in maintaining students’ mental health.
「worth」後面直接加 V-ing,冇「to」。「play a role」後面係固定配「in + V-ing」,所以動詞要改成 maintaining。

點解你會咁寫
中文「值得討論」、「扮演重要角色去維持」兩個都用「去 + 動詞」,所以譯過英文好自然咁寫成 to。呢啲搭配冇得推理,記硬佢:worth + V-ing、play a role in + V-ing、valuable in + V-ing、look forward to + V-ing。
