| 单词 | 保持清醒 |
| 释义 | 〔wake〕wacian [to be awake, keep watch] * see weg- wacian [保持清醒] * 参见 weg- 〔watch〕The act or process of keeping awake or mentally alert, especially for the purpose of guarding.警惕：保持清醒或精神上警惕之动作或过程，尤指为保卫的目的〔wake〕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 这两对词自中古英语以来就形成令人不解的一组词。 四个词有相似的意思，尽管在用法上有差异。只有wake 用于“保持清醒”的意义， 如在waking （而非 wakening ) and sleeping, every waking hour（清醒和睡眠，每一个醒着的时刻）。 Wake在与 up 一同用时也比 waken 更常用； 并且awake 和 awaken 从不出现在这种语言环境中： She woke up （很少用 wakened up ；从不用 awakened up 或 awoke up )。 有些作家指出waken 应只用作及物的而 awaken 只用作不及物的， 但有很多文学上的用法先例,如He wakened early（他醒得早） 和 They did not awaken her（他们没惊醒她）。 在比喻意义上awake 和 awaken 更普遍： 〔watch〕To stay awake at night while serving as a guard, sentinel, or watcher.守卫：作为警卫、哨兵或观望哨而在晚上保持清醒〔wake〕Bears wake for spring, summer, and fall and hibernate for the winter.熊在春天、夏天和秋天保持清醒，在冬季冬眠〔wake〕To stay awake:苏醒：保持清醒： |
