You can think of her as a small pointing word that aims back at one female who has already come up — she's known, and now you refer to her again. The same pointing splits two ways : 'her' as the object you point at (I saw her) and 'her' marking what belongs to her (her book). An old-fashioned use stretches the same female pointing onto countries and ships.

可以把 her 想成一個小小的「指回去」的字,指向前面已經提過的某位女性——她是已知的,現在再提到她。同一個「指向她更多收起可以把 her 想成一個小小的「指回去」的字,指向前面已經提過的某位女性——她是已知的,現在再提到她。同一個「指向她」的動作在文法上分成兩條路:一條是把她當成被指的對象(I saw her,我看見她),另一條是標記「屬於她的」(her book,她的書)。另外有個舊式用法,把這種女性化的指稱延伸到國家和船隻上。
