柯林斯 COBUILD 高阶英汉双解学习词典(第 8 版)

desirable /dɪˈzaɪərəbəl/
1. ADJ Something that is desirable is worth having or doing because it is useful, necessary, or popular. 值得想望(或拥有)的; 合意的;可取的; 受欢迎的

“值得想望”看上去比较面生,会不会是“值得向往”?

现代汉语大词典(第 5 版)

想望 xiǎngwàng  
{动}
① 希望:他在上学的时候就~着做一个医生。
②〈书〉仰慕;思慕:~风采。

好吧,真的有这个词。

英汉大词典(第 2 版)

de·sir·a·ble
值得想望的;值得拥有的;使人喜爱的
» a desirable house (job) 合意的房子(工作)
……

牛津高阶英汉双解词典(第 8 版)

desirable
that you would like to have or do; worth having or doing 想望的;可取的;值得拥有的;值得做的

基本可以判断,desirable 义项中的“想望的”,源出《英汉大词典》啊,《牛高》也借用了。
