第三节 反身代词

　　反身代词主要有：

　　第一人称：myself, ourselves(复数)

　　第二人称：yourself, yourselves(复数)

　　第三人称：himself, herself, itself, themselves(复数)

　　还有一个oneself

　　1. 在TOEFL考试中，经常混淆反身代词的写法，结尾的-self和-selves经常故意写错

　　例题：

　　In Williamsburg, the capital of Virginia until 1780, people conducted themself much like the gentry in London.

　　应改为：themselves

　　2. 反身代词的用法

　　可以用来做宾语： He hurt himself when he fell.

　　可以用来做表语： He is not quite himself today. (他今天有些不舒服)

　　反身代词经常放在名词或者代名词的后面来进行强调, 表示“亲自”的意思

　　I myself do it.

　　I do it myself.

　　They made the research themselves.

　　但是不能够说：Himself does it. 应改为： He does it.

　　This is himself’s book.. 应改为：This is his own book..

　　3.TOEFL考试中经常会出现反身代词用错的时候，其中最主要的是Oneself

　　例题：

　　The vanilla vine sends out tiny rootlets by which the vine attaches oneself to trees.

　　应改为：itself.

　　Oneself 往往要跟one对应，例如：

　　One should not livef for oneself alone.

　　4.反身代词常和一些介词连用组成一些惯用语，了解它们对做题和阅读都大有帮助

　　by oneself (单独、独自)

　　He said that he could do it by himself.

　　For oneself: 为了自己
