喜樂美語
  1. 1

    To stop sleeping, or to make someone else stop sleeping. It means the same thing as wake or wake up, but it sounds older and more literary — you meet it in novels, poems, hymns and the Bible far more than in speech. If a friend needs an early start, you say "Can you wake me at six?", not "Can you waken me at six?" — the second one sounds like a line from a story. It works two ways. Someone can waken (stop sleeping, no object): She wakened at dawn. Or someone can waken another person (make them stop sleeping): The noise wakened the baby. There is also a common figurative use, and this one still feels alive: to waken a feeling means to bring it up in someone for the first time in a long while — a smell can waken old memories, a teacher can waken a student's interest. Note that the id above is written as word_waken_0_1; that is the same word.

    （文言、書面用法的）醒來；喚醒。日常口語一律用 wake up，waken 多出現在小說、詩、歌詞裡，帶點古典味；引申義「喚起（回憶、興趣）」則還蠻常見

組成從古英語 wæcnan 來，再往前是原始日耳曼語 *waknaną（醒）。字尾這個 -en 是很老的動詞尾巴，跟 sharpen、darken 的 -en 是同一種東西。
