同學們,代詞可是個“大家族”,其中有一個 “家庭成員”很特殊,那就是反身代詞。它是用來“強調(diào)”的代詞,通過反身代詞指代主語,使施動者把動作在形式上反射到施動者自己。因此,反身代詞與它所指代的名詞或代詞形成互指關系,在人稱、性質(zhì)、數(shù)上保持一致。表示反身或強調(diào)的代詞叫作反身代詞。反身代詞是由第一人稱、第二人稱形容詞性物主代詞或第三人稱代詞賓格形式,詞尾加-self或-selves組成。反身代詞可譯為“本人”“本身”,為加強語氣,也常譯為“親自”“自己”。 因此,反身代詞是 oneself根據(jù)所指詞的人稱、性別、單復數(shù)等的變化。
一、反身代詞的構成
[人稱 第一人稱 第二人稱 第三人稱 單數(shù) myself yourself himself / herself / itself 復數(shù) ourselves yourselves themselves ]
反身代詞有單復數(shù)和人稱構成形式的不同,第一、二人稱是由“物主代詞+self / selves”構成,第三人稱是由“賓格代詞+self / selves”構成。單數(shù)詞尾是-self,復數(shù)詞尾是-selves。
口訣:反身代詞構成并不難,單數(shù)詞尾
-self記心間。第三人稱賓格加在前,其余物主開頭用在先。復數(shù)形式如何變,要用ves把f來換。
二、反身代詞的用法
反身代詞在句中可以獨立充當句子成分。反身代詞有兩種基本用法,其用法如下:
(一)強調(diào)用法(充當同位語)
1. 反身代詞可以作主語的同位語。
Tom himself was a doctor. 湯姆自己就是個大夫。
We can do this thing ourselves. 我們自己可以做這件事情。
The thing itself is not important. 事情本身并不重要。
He himself doesnt like going to Beijing. 他本人不喜歡去北京。
要注意的是反身代詞本身不能單獨作主語。
不能說:Myself drove the car.
應該說:I myself drove the car. 我自己開車。
但在and, or, nor連接的并列主語中,第二個主語可用反身代詞,特別是myself 作主語。
Charles and myself saw it. 查爾斯和我都看到了。
2. 反身代詞可以作賓語的同位語。
She went to see the artist himself. 她去見這位藝術家本人。
Youd better ask your son himself. 你最好問問你兒子自己。
(二)反射用法
1.? 反身代詞可以作賓語。
Take good care of yourself. 照顧好你自己。
She teaches herself English. 她自學英語。
We enjoyed ourselves very much last night. 我們昨晚玩得很開心。
Please help yourself to some fish. 請你隨便吃點魚。
有些動詞后不跟反身代詞,如:get up, sit down, stand up, wake up等。
2. 反身代詞可以作表語。
He isnt quite himself today. 他今天身體不舒服。
反身代詞還有一些常見固定搭配的用法,這些用法也非常重要。
by oneself (=alone) 獨立,靠自己;enjoy oneself (=have a good time) 玩得開心;teach oneself自學;help oneself to... 隨便吃(喝)……
