相似詞語辨析【33】byforinof oneself,第2張

byoneself,for oneself,in oneself,of oneself

  這四個詞組的意義有所不同。

  By oneself的意思是“單獨地”、“靠自己地”( alone or independently)。例:

  His father lives by himself in the village.
  他的父親獨自一個人住在村裡。

  All his friends have deserted him and he is all by himself now.
  他所有的朋友都離棄他,現在他孤獨一人。

  For oneself的意義爲“爲自己”(for himself or for herself)。例:

  One should not live only for oneself.
  人不應單爲自己而活。

  In oneself的意思是“就其本身或本性而言”。例:

  This wood is hard in itself.
  這種木頭本要就是硬的。

  Of oneself的意思是“自然地”、“自發地”、“自動地”(of one's own accord)。例:

  Every day I awake of myself at half past five.
  每天早上我都是五點半就自己醒來。

  The door opened of itself.
  門是自己開的。

  The fire went out of itself.
  火自己熄滅了。

  與上列四個短語相類似的還有兩個詞組,即beside oneself和 to oneself,前者義:“失常”、“發狂”;後者是“獨自佔有或享用”。例:

  He was beside himself with joy.
  他訢喜若狂。

  When one dines in a restaurant,one likes a table to oneself.
  人們在飯店喫飯時,縂是喜歡獨佔一桌。

  Oneself和 one's self的區別也是值得我們注意的。Oneself是反身強調代詞,意指自己;one's self則是代詞加名詞,意指個人的本性。它們的區別如同myself和my self;yourself和your self ;himself和his self;ourselves 和our selves ;themselves和their selves一樣。例:

  She made a cup of tea for herself.
  她爲自己燒了一盃茶。

  She looked just like her old self.
  她看上去和從前依然一模一樣。

  請注意,myself可以在句中表示me的涵義,這是其他反身代詞所沒有的特性。例:

  They invited my father and myself(=me)to their party.
  他們邀請我父親和我蓡加他們的聚會。

  He saw neither myself nor Mary in the street.
  在馬路上他既沒有看見我,也沒有看見瑪麗。
