反身代詞知多少

反身代詞又稱自身代詞，它是一種表示反射或強調(diào)的代詞。它由第一人稱、第二人稱形容詞性物主代詞和第三人稱人稱代詞賓格加詞尾self或selves構(gòu)成：

單數(shù)myselfyourself himself herself itself

復(fù)數(shù)ourselvesyourselves themselves

如：

I want to build myself a country house.我想給自己建一座鄉(xiāng)間別墅。

You should take good care of yourselves.你們應(yīng)該照顧好你們自己。

但在表示位置的一些介詞之后常用代詞賓格代替反身代詞。如：

I looked around me.我環(huán)顧四周。

He closed the door after him.他隨手關(guān)上了門。如：

Both my sister and myself wanted to go and work there.我妹妹和我自己都想去那兒工作。

That’s herself.那就是她自己。如：

錯誤：Those are themselves bikes.那些是他們自己的自行車。

正確：Those are their own bikes.

Those are bikes of their own.

當(dāng)one指人時，其相應(yīng)的反身代詞通常用oneself，在美國英語中也可用himself。如：

One should not live for oneself（himself）alone.一個人不應(yīng)該只為自己活著。

如：enjoy，help，

teach，learn，look，after，hurt，dress等。

enjoy oneself相當(dāng)于have a good time玩得開心

help oneself to…（招待用語）隨便吃……

teach oneself / learn by oneself自學(xué)……

ook after oneself照顧自己

hurt oneself傷著自己

dress oneself自己穿衣服如：

by oneself自己（不要別人幫助），一個人干

I can do it by myself.我可以自己來干。

for oneself替自己，為自己

He has a right to decide forhimself.他有權(quán)自己決定。

in oneself本身

This is not a bad idea in itself.這主意本身并不錯。

between ourselves私下說的話（不可告訴別人）

All this is between ourselves.這些都不能告訴別人。

among themselves……之間

They had a heated discussionamongthemselves.他們之間進行了熱烈的討論。

to oneself供自己用

I want a little time to my self.我想有一點自己支配的時間。
