英語反身代詞用法的小口訣

反身代詞用法詳解

一、反身代詞的基本形式

反身代詞是 oneself根據所指詞的人稱、性別、單復數等的變化可以有 myself, himself, herself, yourself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves 等形式。

二、oneself與himself

當one指人時，其相應的反身代詞通常用oneself, 在美國英語中也可用himself：

One should not praise oneself [himself]. 一個人不應該自吹自擂。

三、反身代詞的句法功能：

1.用作同位語(加強被修飾詞的語氣，僅放在被修飾名詞后, 或句末)：

Don’t trouble to come over yourself. 你不必費神親自來了。

You yourself said so. / You said so yourself. 你自己是這樣說的。

Never leave to others what you ought to do yourself. 不要把自己該做的事留給別人做。

2.用作賓語(動詞或介詞的賓語)：

I’ll be myself again in no time. 我過一會兒就會好。

4.用作主語。在現代英語中，一般不能獨立用作主語，但是它卻可以借助 and, or, nor 等連詞與其他名詞一起構成并列主語(且位于并列主語的后部)，以及用于某些特殊結構(如as...as等)：
