myself 和by myself 用法
問：
I’ll do it myself, if you won’t.
I can do it by myself.
請問myself 與by myself 用法，有何區別。
答：myself 用法是指“我親自”、“我自已”。I’ll do it myself 強調“我自己來幹”, 而不是由別人來幹。by myself 是指“獨自”、“沒有別人幫助”。I can do it by myself 強調“不用別人幫忙, 自己就能幹這件事。”請比較下列例句:
- I saw him do it himself.
我看到他親自做這件事。 - We will lead the discussing ourselves.
我們將自己來組織這次討論會。 - John claimed to have done the work by himself but I know his brother helped him.
約翰聲稱這件工作是他獨自幹的, 但是我知道他哥哥幫助了他。 - I carried it all by myself.
這個東西是我一個人搬來的。
