The types of molecules that can do this are themselves substantially hydrophobic in nature such as carbon dioxide, oxygen or ethanol.
疑问:这句话中 themselves 是做表语么?那么 substantially hydrophobic 又是什么成分?
本句中的themselves 是主语the types of molecules 的同位语。
oneself 作同位语时,可以放在与之同位关系的词之后,也可放在句末,也可放在be 之后。又如:
I am myself a graduate of this university. 我本人是这所大学的毕业生。
He who goes against the fashion is himself its slave. 反对时尚的人自己也是时尚的奴隶。
