核心畫面

Picture an action she does that curves right back to land on her — she is both the one doing it and the one it happens to. That loop-back-to-her is the heart of the word; all the other uses are ways of pointing hard at 'her, that very same person'.

可以想成她做的一個動作,轉了一圈又落回她自己身上——做這件事的是她,被這件事影響到的也是她。這個「動作繞回她本人」的更多收起可以想成她做的一個動作,轉了一圈又落回她自己身上——做這件事的是她,被這件事影響到的也是她。這個「動作繞回她本人」的迴圈是這個字的核心;其他用法都是用不同方式,把焦點重重地壓在「她,就是同一個她」上面。

From the picture

就是她本人(強調)

同一個「指向她本人」的力道,這裡不是讓動作繞回去,而是用來加重語氣:在眾人之中把手指明確點在這一個她身上,強調「不是別人,就是她」。

herself (emphatic, 'she herself') · pronoun · A2

Used to make it clear that you mean one special girl or woman and no one else.

她本人

靠她一個(獨自・獨力)

還是把焦點收束到「只有她」,但這裡強調的是身邊沒有別人:場景裡只剩她一個,或這件事從頭到尾只有她出力。

by herself (alone) · pronoun · A2

Used in 'by herself' to mean a girl or woman is alone, with no one else there.

她獨自一人

固定說法裡的她

幾個固定片語也借這個「她本人」的指向,分別講她此刻的狀態,或某樣東西只屬於她一個人,得拆開片語整體理解。

not be/feel/seem herself · pronoun · A2

In 'not be/feel/seem herself', it means a girl or woman is not acting like her normal self, often because she is sad or sick.

不像平常的她

Also in this word

herself (reflexive) · pronoun · A2

Used to show that the girl or woman who does the action is also the one the action happens to.

她自己
