反身代詞用法點撥

一、反身代詞的形式

表示“我自己”、“你自己”、“他自己”和“你們自己”等的代詞，叫做自身代詞，又稱為“反身代詞”。其形式為：

巧記憶：單數后面加-self， 復數后面加-selves; 一、二人稱前半用形代，第三人稱前半用賓格。

二、反身代詞的用法

1.作同位語用以加強語氣，放在所同位的詞后面或放在句末。例如：

I cooked it myself.=I myself cooked it. 我自己做的飯。

I spoke to the chairman himself. 我對主席本人講。

2.作賓語（表示動作返回到動作執行者本身，即主語和賓語是指同一個或同一些人或物。）

Mary saw herself in the mirror. 瑪麗在鏡子中看見了她自己。

請比較：

Mary saw her in the mirror. 瑪麗在鏡子中看見了她。（另外一個人）

We teach ourselves English. 我們自學英語。（自己教自己）

3.作表語

He isn’t quite himself today. 他今天情緒有點反常。

4.介詞+反身代詞

Tom said to himself， “Where am I?”湯姆自言自語:“我在哪兒呢？”

I went to the post office by myself. 我一個人去郵局。（單獨地，一個人的，相當于alone或without help）

請比較：

I went to the post office myself. 我親自去的郵局。（強調不需要別人去，是我自己去的。）

請記住下列短語：say to oneself 自言自語 for oneself為自己 by oneself 獨自地

注意：1. 反身代詞不可作主語。例如：他自己開的門。

錯：Himself opened the door.

正：He himself opened the door.

2.反身代詞不可有所有格。例如：這是我自己的房間。

錯：This is myself’s room.

正：This is my own room.
