An reflexive pronoun "reflects" a noun or pronoun by taking the place of its antecedent when the noun or pronoun is doing something to itself.
In English reflexive pronouns are formed just like intensive pronouns--by adding -self or -selves to the root pronoun.
Examples: We underrated ourselves before the race.
The cat washed herself carefully with her tongue.
例如:
This man is sensible.﹝這個男人是通達的。﹞
*"this"形容某個男人。
*"sensible"與"sensitive"不同,前者的意思是「通達的」,後者的意思是
「敏感的」。
I know that boy over there.﹝我認識那邊的那個男孩。﹞
* "that"形容某個男孩。
*"there&;quot;常作副詞,但在介詞後面則作名詞。
You like these apples and I like those apples.
*"these&;quot;和"those"形容某些蘋果。
* 上句亦可寫成:You like these apples and I, those.
John sits on this chair and Mary, on that.
I do not like such a man.﹝我不喜歡一個那樣的人。﹞
*"such"形容某人。
* 依中文習慣,「一個」在「那樣」之前;依英文習慣,"a";在"such"之後。
Do not make the same mistake again.﹝不可犯同樣的錯誤。﹞
*"same"形容某種錯誤。
*"again&;quot;是副詞,形容"make"。
* 命令句的主語多隱藏起來。
例如:This is a horse and that is a donkey.
* "this"和"that"都是用來代替某些確定事物的代名詞。
Three men and ten boys are in the room; these are my
teachers and those are my classmates.
*" these"和"those"分別代替"Three men"和"ten boys"。
*";"( semi-colon ) 代表"and"。
* 第一句中的"are"解作「在」;第二句及第三句中的"are"解作「是」。
You eat dogs but I do not eat such.
*"such"代替"dogs"。
I take this exercise and he takes the same.
*"same"要與"the"同用,"the same"代替"exercise"。
*"take exercise"是「做運動」;"do exercise"是「做練習」。
