Then what about "myself?" 那myself呢?
This grand character is often substituted for "me" and "I" because it seems more impressive. 这个角色重要的词常常用来取代me和I,因为这样听起来比较厉害。
"Please tell Jack 1 or myself" may sound elegant, but in fact, "me" is the right pronoun here. 例如:“请告诉Jack和我自己(myself)”这句话听起来可能很优雅但其实,“me”才是正确的代词。
So where should you use "myself"? 所以myself应该用在哪里?
In its function as a reflexive pronoun, "myself" only works if it's the object of a sentence whose subject is "I." 身为反身代词,“myself” 只能在句子的主格是 "I" 时,myself当宾格才是正确的。
"I consider myself the most important pronoun at this year's party." 例如:我(I)认为自己(myself)是今年派对中最重要的代词。
"Myself" can also add emphasis as an intensive pronoun. Myself 也可以当强调代词。
"I, myself, have heard others agree." 例如:我(I)自己(myself)有听到其他人同意。
The sentence works without it, but that extra pronoun gives it oomph. 这句子没有了myself 也对,但加了myself 便增加了其强调性。
To check if "myself" belongs in a sentence, simply ensure that there's also an "I" that it's reflecting or intensifying 2. 要看看 myself 到底属不属于某句子,就只要看那个句子里有没有一个被反射或强调的 I。
So that's "me," "myself," and "I," ever ready to represent you, yourself, and you. 所以,以上就是me、myself、 I 三种我的用法,三者随时可用来表示you、 yourself、you三种角色的你。
