yourself vs your
"yourself" 是反身代名詞，指動作回到主詞自己；"your" 是所有格形容詞，表示所屬關係。
yourself vs yourselves
"yourself" 是單數形式，指『你自己』；"yourselves" 是複數形式，指『你們自己』。
yourself vs by yourself
"yourself" 是代名詞，而 "by yourself" 是一個副詞片語，意思是『獨自地』或『靠自己』。
在對話中，當重複或引述對方剛說過的話時，常用 "yourself" 來回應，表示理解或確認。 EN: A: "I'm feeling a bit tired." B: "You should take care of yourself." 翻譯: A: 「我有點累。」 B: 「你應該照顧好自己。」
EN:A: "I need to be more confident." B: "Believe in yourself."
翻譯:A: 「我需要更有自信。」 B: 「要相信自己。」
在祈使句或建議中，加入 "yourself" 可以加強語氣，使焦點更集中在聽話者本人身上。 EN: "Go see for yourself if you don't believe me." 翻譯: 「如果你不相信我，就自己去看。」
EN:"You can do it yourself, it's not that hard."
翻譯:「你可以自己做，沒那麼難。」
在組織思緒或短暫停頓時，有時會用 "... yourself?" 或 "... yourself, you know?" 作為填充語，尋求對方認同或將話題拋回給對方。 EN: "It's really about how you see yourself, you know?" 翻譯: 「這真的關乎你如何看待自己，你懂嗎？」
EN:"So you just have to ask yourself, is it worth it?"
翻譯:「所以你得問問自己，這值得嗎？」
正式寫作注意：上述口語用法，特別是「停頓填充」中的結構，在正式書寫（如學術論文、商業報告）中應避免使用，以保持文體的嚴謹與簡潔。
