■护士进屋时他就醒了。
误:He awoke up when the nurse entered the room.
正:He awoke when the nurse entered the room.
析:awake(醒来)通常不与副词 up 连用。比较:wake up(醒来)。
■他们还没意识到形势的严重性。
误:They haven’t yet awoken at the seriousness of thesituation.
正:They haven’t yet awoken to the seriousness of thesituation.
析:awake 用作动词,用于本义,表示“醒来”、“唤醒”,可以是及物或不及物动词,但用于引申义,表示“认识到”、“意识到”时,总是不及物动词,若要后接宾语,总是用介词 to。
■我当时完全是醒的。
误:I was very awake then.
正:I was wide awake then.
析:awake(醒着的)用作形容词时是表语形容词,要加强其语气,可用 wide, fully 等修饰,通常不用 very 修饰(偶尔可见这样用,但学生应试时应避免)。
