233. Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.
译文 我们的交通运输系统只有英文地图,而且我们自己都经常觉得难以看懂。
点睛 本句是由and连接的两个简单句组成。transportation意为“交通;运输工具”。固定表达have difficulty (in) doing sth. 意为“做某事有困难”。如:
Anyone having difficulty in assembling the machine may have the advice of our experts. 任何人在装配机器时遇到困难,都可以得到我们专家的指导。
考点归纳 反身代词包括myself、yourself、himself、herself、themselves、ourselves、yourselves等。其用法如下:
一些动词如:absent、bathe、amuse、blame、dry、cut、enjoy、hurt、introduce、behave等,需要反身代词作它们的宾语。如:
We enjoyed ourselves very much last night. 我们昨晚玩得很开心。
用于“及物动词+宾语+介词”这一结构,如:在dress oneself up、help oneself to sth. 等短语中。如:
1) I could not dress (myself) up at that time. 那个时候我不能穿衣打扮。
2) Please help yourself to some fish. 请你随便吃点鱼。
在be oneself这一表达中作表语。如:
I am not myself today. 我今天有点不舒服。
还可以作同位语。如:
The thing itself is not important. 事情的本身并不重要。
