必须接反身代词作宾语的英语动词
导语：根据英语语法，及物动词必须后接宾语，但有些及物动词，但它后面接只能接反身代词作宾语，而不能接其他成分作宾语。英语中的这类动词非常有限，最常见的有 absent, avail, pride等。如：
1. absent
absent 用作动词时，只用作及物动词，意为“缺席”，只接反身代词作宾语。表示“做某事缺席”，其后也接介词 from。如：
He absented himself from the meeting. 他没有出席会议。
Why did you absent yourself from class yesterday? 你昨天为什么没来上课?
They’ve arranged that I should absent myself for part of the meeting. 他们安排好让我一部分时间不在开会现场。
2. avail
You must avail yourself of every opportunity to speak English. 你要利用一切机会说英语。
表示“使用”“利用”时，虽为及物动词，但只能接反身代词作宾语，且主要用于avail oneself of(利用)这一结构，注意不能直接跟所利用的东西作宾语，如：
误：You must avail every opportunity to speak English.
3. pride
pride 用作动词时，总是以反身代词作宾语，且主要用于pride oneself on [upon] (doing) sth 这一结构。
She prided herself on being a Chinese. 她以自己是中国人为荣。
He prides himself on his ability to speak French. 他以会说法语而自豪。
He prided himself on knowing 10 languages. 他为自己懂得10种语言而自豪。
