You can think of yourself as a little mirror placed on the word 'you': it bounces the action straight back at the same person it started from. You hurt yourself — the and the one hurt are one and the same. Every other use is a tilt of that mirror: turned up to stress 'you and nobody else', or turned to draw the edge of a circle that holds only you — alone, , or with something all to you.

可以想成:yourself 像是擺在「you」前面的一面小鏡子,把動作直接反射回出發的那個人身上。You hurt yourself(你弄傷了自己)——動作的人和被弄傷的人是同一個。其他用法都是這面鏡子的微調:往上一翻,強調「就是你、沒別人」;往旁邊一轉,畫出一個只圈住你的圈——獨自一人、沒人幫、或某樣東西全歸你。
