by itself的用法详解

英语单词by itself的用法讲解

by itself是英语中一个常用的表达,意思是“单独,独自地”或“独立,无帮助”。这个短语可以表达两个意思:一是强调单独性,表明某个人或物体没有受到任何外部干涉;二是表明某个人或物体自己的能力还不到位,需要帮助。例如:

1. 他们通过自己的努力完成了这项任务,没有受到外部帮助。

The task was accomplished by themselves, without any outside help.

2. 他还不够成熟,所以不能独立完成这项工作。

He's not mature enough to do the job by himself.

因此,by itself 既可以用来强调独立性,又可以用来表达相对的依赖性。同时,by itself 还可以用作“仅仅,只是”的意思,用来表达某件事情只是个小例子。例如:

1. 他们只是简单地做了一个试验,这只是一个小例子而已。

They just did a simple experiment, which is just a small example by itself.

2. 这只是一个小的改变,但它可能会带来重大的影响。

It's just a minor change, but it could have huge implications by itself.

总之,by itself 用来强调单独性或者独立性,也可以用来表达“仅仅,只是”的意思。
