语源
  1. Middle English: probably a phonetic development of the Old English feminine personal pronoun hēo, hīe
用法
  1. 1 For a discussion of whether to say I am older than she or I am older than hersee usage at personal pronoun and than.
  2. 2 The use of the pronoun he to refer to a person of unspecified sex, once quite acceptable, has become problematic in recent years and is now usually regarded as old-fashioned or sexist. One of the responses to this has been to use she in the way that he has been used, as in only include your child if you know she won't distract youIn some types of writing, for example, books on childcare or child psychology, use of she has become quite common. In most contexts, however, it is likely to be distracting in the same way that he now is, and alternatives such as ‘he or she’ or ‘they’ are preferable. See usage at he and they
