n.（名詞）
The pairswake, waken and awake, awaken have formed a bewildering array since the Middle English period. All four words have similar meanings, though there are some differences in use.Onlywake is used in the sense .to be awake,. as in expressions likewaking (not wakening ) and sleeping, every waking hour. Wake is also more common than waken when used together with up; andawake and awaken never occur in this context: She woke up (rarely wakened up; never awakened up or awoke up ). Some writers have suggested thatwaken should be used only transitively and awaken only intransitively, but there is ample literary precedent for usages such asHe wakened early and They did not awaken her. In figurative sensesawake and awaken are more prevalent:
wake,waken 和 awake,awaken 這兩對詞自中古英文以來就形成令人不解的一組詞。 四個詞有相似的意思，儘管在用法上有差異。只有wake 用於.保持清醒.的意義， 如在waking （而非 wakening ) and sleeping, every waking hour（清醒和睡眠，每一個醒著的時刻）。 Wake在與 up 一同用時也比 waken 更常用； 並且awake 和 awaken 從不出現在這種語言環境中： She woke up （很少用 wakened up ；從不用 awakened up 或 awoke up )。 有些作家指出waken 應只用作及物的而 awaken 只用作不及物的， 但有很多文學上的用法先例,如He wakened early（他醒得早） 和 They did not awaken her（他們沒驚醒她）。 在比喻意義上awake 和 awaken 更普遍：
例句：
With the governor`s defeat the party awoke to the strength of the opposition to its position on abortion.
隨著州長的失敗那個黨派清醒地認識到在墮胎問題上反對意見的力量。

例句：
The scent of the azaleas awakened my memory of his unexpected appearance that afternoon years ago.
杜鵑花的味道喚醒了我對許多年前那個下午他突然出現的記憶。
