英语中有许多代词,其中包括反身代词和强调代词。虽然它们看起来很相似,但它们的使用方式有所不同。
反身代词
反身代词指代的是主语本身,例如:myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself, ourselves, yourselves, themselves。反身代词通常用来强调主语,并且在句子中通常出现在动词或介词之后,例如:
- I hurt myself.
- She gave herself a pat on the back.
- They enjoyed themselves at the party.
需要注意的是,反身代词在大多数情况下是可省略的,而且在某些情况下,省略反身代词可能会使句子更自然。例如:
- I hurt myself. (正确)
- I hurt. (正确)
- She gave herself a pat on the back. (正确)
- She gave a pat on the back. (正确)
强调代词
强调代词用于强调一个特定的名词或代词。英语中的强调代词有两个,分别为:itself 和 themselves。它们的作用是强调名词或代词,例如:
- It was the book itself that inspired me.
- They did the work themselves.
需要注意的是,强调代词通常不可省略,而且在句子中出现在名词或代词之后。
在使用反身代词和强调代词时,需要根据上下文和需要强调的重点来选择正确的代词。正确使用这些代词可以使句子更加清晰明了,使读者更好地理解句子的含义。
