 ♣ awake, awaken, wake, waken
　这组词都有“唤醒”“醒来”的意思，它们的区别是：
1. wake是最常用词，也是最不正式的用语， awake则比wake正式些。如指“醒来”“使醒”，最好用wake.
2. waken和awaken常用作及物动词，多用于书面和被动语态中，表示“被唤醒”。awaken和awake多用于比喻说法，表示“觉醒；提醒”“开始意识到”等意思。
3. 从语音上说，以a-开头的两个词发音更浑厚，给人印象更深，故多用于诗歌。
4. 以-en结尾的两个词只用作动词， awake除用作动词外还可用作形容词， wake还可用作名词。

　我天亮时就醒来了。
　［误］ I awoke up at dawn.
　［正］ I awoke at dawn.
　［析］ awake用作不及物动词时其后不可加up.

　awake　除作“醒过来”解外，有时还可作“睡不着”解。例如：
　I sleep when I don't want to sleep and awake when I want to sleep.　我不想睡的时候能睡着，想睡的时候却睡不着。
