Возвратные местоимения — Reflexive pronouns

Возвратные местоимения образуются путем прибавления к:

•    притяжательным местоимениям ту, our, your
•    личным местоимениям him, her, it, them
•    неопределенному местоимению one

окончания self (для единственного числа) и окончания selves (для множественного числа).

Возвратные местоимения стоят в предложении после глаголов и указы вают на то, что действие направлено на само действующее лицо.

В русском языке возвратные местоимения соответствуют:

•    глаголам, оканчивающимся на частицу-сь, -ся.

She cut herself while she was cooking dinner. — Она порезалась, когда готовила обед.

•    возвратному местоимению самого себя / самой себя, самому себе / самой себе, самим собой / самой собой.

She was looking at herself in the mirror. — Она смотрела на себя в зеркало.
Не didn't say anything about himself. — Он не сказал ничего о себе.

Однако возвратные местоименияне употребляются после глагола to fee i Сравните: How are you feeling? — Как вы себя чувствуете?

8 Misha, Mark and Rob are talking about literature. Look through the text and answer the question: Are they talking about Russian, British or American literature?

9 Listen to the conversation and say, What writers have been mentioned? Which of them are American, British or Russian? What do you know about these writers? Name as many books by these writers as you can.

10 Read the conversation and check some of your answers.



Mark: Look, Misha. I need your help. We have to write an essay about Eastern European writers. I'd like to write about Russian writers Unfortunately, I have no time to look the information up in books. Tell me all about Dostoevsky, Pushkin, Tolstoy and Lermontov.

Misha: What can I tell you? They all lived in the 19th century, but some of these people aren't writers. Pushkin and Lermontov are famous poets, though personally I like Pushkin's prose more. I like his novel "Dubrovsky". It's about a young aristocrat who turns to crime because his house and money are taken away. After the death of his father Dubrovsky becomes a robber, who takes money from the rich and gives it to the poor. He is planning to rob the house of Troekurov, the man who is to blame for all his misfortunes. But then Dubrovsky falls in love with Masha Troekurova, the daughter of his enemy, and forgets his plans. Unfortunately, I don't remember the ending.

Mark: What about Tolstoy and Dostoevsky?
Misha: Tolstoy and Dostoevsky are great writers, and Russians are proud of them. They wrote long novels. Tolstoy's most famous book is "War and Peace"
Mark: Is that the book about Natasha Rostova and Andrey Bolkonsky?
Misha: Yes, it is. But it is also about the war with France and the heroism of the Russian people.
Mark: What about Dostoevsky?
Misha: To tell you the truth, I have no idea. We haven't done him vet
Mark: What do you mean? 
Misha: To be honest, we haven't studied Dostoevsky at school yet.
Mark: Do you only read books by these writers at school?
Misha: Maybe I shouldn't tell you this, but you're right. Some girls in our class like these books, but I don't read them for pleasure myself. I do it because I have to.
Rob: I can understand that. Dickens and Shakespeare are very famous English writers and we study them at school, but personally I don't like them very much. I prefer J. R. R. Tolkien, Conan Doyle, J. K. Rowling and Dan Brown.
Misha: That's really funny, they are my favourite writers too.
Rob: So aren't there any good writers in Russia nowadays?
Misha: Of course there are. Let me think. Oh, how could I forget! I have read a lot of books by Sergey Lukyanenko. He's a modern Russian writer. His first books were published at the end of the Eighties.
Mark: What kind of books does he write?
Misha: Lukyanenko writes science fiction. His books are about adventures. Some of them happen in space and some of them in the centre of Moscow, but they are always exciting and very well written. One of his books became a cult book for people who are interested in computers. It is called "Labyrinth of Reflections". In the book he describes what may happen to the world in the near future: Internet technologies produce a virtual world — Deeptown. Different people live in Deeptown, but the most mysterious of them are the Divers. They can do things that the best hackers in our world will never be able to do.
Mark: I'll write about him. I hope my teacher won't be angry...
Misha: He won't. Lukyanenko is a very good writer.
