汉语中“他”既可作主语也可作宾语，但英语中主语用主格“he”，宾语用宾格“him”。这里需要主语，所以用“he”。

Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想：he（他）站着，变成 him 时末尾的 m 像弯腰，表示动作指向他，所以作宾语用 him。
Context & Register
语域：informal 常见场景：casual conversation、informal writing him 作名词（复数 hims）表示“男性”时，多用于日常对话等非正式场合，比较口语化；正式的书面表达中不太常见，一般会改用 man 或 male person。
Grammar Note

Pronunciation & Spelling
