词汇讲解
awaken verb.
wake(苏醒)→awake(形容词化-醒着的)→awaken(动词化-使醒着、使唤醒→激活)
释义:to wake up or to make someone wake up
例句:
请看awaken在电影《豚鼠特工队》中的应用:
...will awaken(激活) the chips already in the logic boards.
请看awaken在电影《霍比特人2》中的应用:
If you awaken that beast, it will destroy us all.
日常生活中,常用wake XX up来表达使唤醒、吵醒,而不用awaken。awaken只在文学作品、正式场合、书面语、固定搭配中才会用。
She was woken up by the phone ringing.
她被电话声吵醒。
拓展:wake-up call
①酒店的叫醒服务
②wake-up是起床的意思,call则是打电话,wake-up call字面的意思是叫人起床的一通电话,实际可以引申出“警钟,提醒”这层含义。
例句:It was like a slap in the face-a wake up call.
它就像是在我脸上闪了一巴掌似的唤醒了我。
