常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Myself"?Which "Myself" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×My friend and myself went to the store.

My friend and I went to the store.

「myself」不應用於句子的主語位置。當主語是「我和其他人」時,應使用主格代名詞「I」。

×He gave the book to myself.

He gave the book to me.

「myself」不應在簡單的受詞位置(介系詞後)使用。當動詞或介系詞的受詞是「我」時,應使用受格代名詞「me」。

×I feel good about myself's performance.

I feel good about my performance.

「myself」是所有格反身代名詞,不能加「's」表示所有格。正確的所有格是「my」。

×I bought a gift for myself and my wife.

I bought a gift for my wife and me.

當「我」是受詞的一部分,且與其他人並列時,不應使用「myself」,除非句子主語也是「我」(形成反身)。此處主語是「I」,但受詞是「my wife and me」,並非反身用法。

×Myself think it's a good idea.

I myself think it's a good idea. / I think it's a good idea.

「myself」不能單獨作為句子的主語。它可以作為「I」的強調詞,放在「I」之後,但不能取代「I」。

×I need to talk to you about myself.

I need to talk to you about me.

雖然「about myself」在語法上正確(反身受詞),但語意上聽起來過於自我中心。在一般對話中,使用「about me」更自然,除非特別強調動作回歸到主語本身。
