　　搭配二 between ourselves
　　该搭配为英语中的固定短语，意思是“勿与外人道私下说的话”“咱们私下说说(不足为外人道)”等，在具体语境中通常可以有比较灵活的翻译。如：

　　搭配三 by oneself
　　该短语有以下三个意思：
　　一是表示“单独地”“独自地”，与alone同义。如：

　　表示此义时有时还可用作表语。如：

　　二是表示“靠自己”“无他人帮助”，与without help同义。如：
　　I managed to do it by myself. 我是自己做成这件事的。
　　John managed to repair his car by himself. 约翰设法独力修理自己的汽车。
　　There are many things one must do by oneself without depending on others. 有许多事情你必须自己去做，不能依靠别人。
　　三是表示“自动地”，主要用于 by itself，意思相当于automatically。如：

　　搭配六 to oneself
　　该搭配的基本意思是“独自地”“单独地”“给自己用”，通常与某些动词配合使用，其含义也往往受所搭配动词意思的影响。如：
　　1. cry to oneself 哭着对自己说
　　Oh Ned, Nancy cried to herself, why did you have to leave me? 哦，内德，南希还哭着对自己说，你为什么一定得离开我呢?
　　2. have something to oneself 独自享用某物

　　3. keep (oneself) to oneself 不与人交往

　　I woke up early and said to myself, “Shall I get up?” 我很早就醒来了，心里想：“要不要起床呢?”
　　注意：say to oneself与speak to oneself大致同义，主要指“说给自己听”“在心里想着”，其“自言自语”的成分比较少。若要表示“自言自语”(强调出声)，可用talk to oneself。如：
　　He was probably talking to himself, which he often did now. 他也许在自言自语，他现在常常如此。
　　When she was old, she would sit in the corner talking to herself for hours. 在她年老时，她老坐在角落里自言自语，一说就是几个小时。
