-self 的用法及固定搭配

-self

1.下面第一句里的himself是强势代词,第二句里的himself是反身代词:

  • I am very happy, he said himself.
  • I am very happy, he told himself.

下面是一个笑话:

A: I had good sport there some time ago.

B: I think I shall go and shoot myself there next year.

shoot myself可能有两个意思:(l)“亲自去打猎”,myself是强势代词。(2)“抢杀我自己”,myself是反身代词。

2.在口语里He did it himself比He himself did it普通得多。
