Елена, я вот тоже задумалась над этой фразой.
"them" не будет путаться с именами?

Если мы скажем по-русски:
"Они приходили так часто ко мне, что я забывал их имена, но я помню их" - вот это финальное "их" непонятно к чему относится, к людям или именам.
А в английском языке?

Dana -added a comment 7 years ago

А "themselves" здесь как-то не очень звучит, мне кажется.

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Dana, да, что-то не так. Исправила. Но если знать, о ком идет речь, можно заменить people на что-то более конкретное.

Dana -added a comment 7 years ago

Да, так хорошо звучит :)
Думаю, с people вполне нормально :)

Elena, it sounds like you're talking about one group and their names, and the to people in general. You can you "them themselves" in this context to clarify that you mean "persons as such."

Elena Bogomolovaadded a comment 7 years ago

Thank you, Uly. We wouldn't guess. I wonder, why do you use the inversion - "them themselves I remember"?

⁌ ULY ⁍added a comment 7 years ago

It’s for contrast - a little like -то
