用法辨析
- ourselves是we的反身代词,意思是“我们自己”,当宾语与主语有着互指关系时,总是用反身代词,而不用人称代词的宾格。
- ourselves可用作直接宾语、间接宾语或介词宾语,偶尔也可用作表语,含意是“我们自己的正常和健康状态”,有时还可用在独立结构中; 作直接宾语时,有些动词总是用反身代词作宾语,有些动词后面的反身代词则可省略,而大多数动词接反身代词作宾语,则是因为主语和宾语形成了互指关系。
- ourselves也可用来强调we,作“我们自己”解。这时ourselves可用作主语或宾语的同位语,有时可用作表语,还可用在like, but(for), except(for), as for, as...as等词后面表示对比。
pron. (代词)
