動作反射回我自己
最核心的鏡子用法：我做的事又回到我身上，做的人和承受的人是同一個。
reflexive: myself · pronoun · A2
The word 'I' use for the same person as 'I' — when my own action comes back to me.
我自己
核心畫面
You can think of myself as a little mirror placed on the word 'I': it points the action right back at the same person who started it. I hurt myself — the and the one hurt are one and the same. Every other use is a tilt of that mirror: turned up to stress 'me and nobody else', or turned to mark the edge of a circle that holds only me — alone, , or with something all to me.
可以想成：myself 像是擺在「I」前面的一面小鏡子，把動作直接反射回出發的那個人身上。I hurt myself…更多收起
可以想成：myself 像是擺在「I」前面的一面小鏡子，把動作直接反射回出發的那個人身上。I hurt myself（我弄傷了自己）——動作的人和被弄傷的人是同一個。其他用法都是這面鏡子的微調：往上一翻，強調「就是我、沒別人」；往旁邊一轉，畫出一個只圈住我的圈——獨自一人、沒人幫、或某樣東西全歸我。Three branches
強調就是我本人
把鏡子往上一翻當強調用：不再是動作反射，而是用來重重指著「我」這個人——是我，不是別人。也包含在 like/as/except 後頂替 me 的用法，仍是指向「我這個人」。
emphatic: I myself · pronoun · A2
Used next to 'I' or after the verb to make it clear that it was me, and no one else, who did it.
我親自；我本人
只圈住我一個的圈
把鏡子轉成一條界線，畫出一個只裝得下「我」的圈：圈裡沒別人（獨自）、沒別人的手（沒人幫）、東西全歸圈內（獨享）。都是「範圍縮到只剩我」的同一個畫面。
by myself (alone) · pronoun · A2
On my own, with no other person there — almost always in the phrase 'by myself'.
（by myself）我獨自
