themselves反身代词的用法。反身代词用于强调时经常作主语或宾语的同位语,一般置于所强调的词的后面;但如果不影响理解,作同位语的反身代词其位置比较灵活。

     反身代词用于强调时要重读。例:
    The manager himself served the customers. / The manager served the customers himself.  经理亲自为顾客服务。
    I told them I wanted to see the manager himself. 我告诉他们我要见经理本人。
    在but, except, like, as 等词之后,或作对比时,宾格和反身代词都可以用,但后者的语气更强。例:
    For my wife and me / myself it was a most enjoyable weekend. 对于我妻子和我(本人)来说,这是一个非常快乐的周末。
    She is about the same age as you / yourself. 她的年龄和你(本人)差不多。
    反身代词作介词宾语或动词宾语时，有时也可起强调作用。例:
    He has been living by himself since his parents died. 他父母死后,他就一直一个人生活。(by himself = alone)
