動作彎回自己
這是核心:做事的人和被影響的人是同一個男人,箭頭繞回原點。
reflexive: himself · pronoun · A2
Used to show that the man or boy who does an action is also affected by that same action.
他自己
You can think of himself as a small mirror placed in the sentence so an action bends back onto the same man who did it: he does something, and the arrow loops around to land on himself. All the other uses are this same loop, just leaning a little harder on it for emphasis, aloneness, or owning something by oneself.

reflexive: himself · pronoun · A2
Used to show that the man or boy who does an action is also affected by that same action.
他自己
強調就是他本人
把鏡子的力道從「繞回自己」轉成「指著本人」:不是別人,正是這個他。
emphatic: he himself · pronoun · A2
Used to emphasize that you mean one particular man or boy, and no one else.
他本人
靠他自己一個人
把「繞回自己」延伸成「只有他一個」:沒有別人摻進來,所以是獨自、是靠自己。
by himself (alone) · pronoun · A2
Alone, with no one else there. Used in the phrase 'by himself'.
獨自
不像平常的自己
這一組把 himself 當成「他平常的那個自己」這個基準,再說他偏離了它,或獨占了某樣東西——都還是繞回他這個人。
not be himself · pronoun · A2
In 'not be/feel/seem himself': if a man or boy is not himself, he does not feel or act the way he usually does, often because he is upset or unwell.
不像平常的他
