wake:睡醒是今生?还是被穿越?


wake是同形异义词。1.航迹,尾流。W形表水的波纹,借指水。这里指海水,后指船只通过冰面留下的冰洞,借指航迹、尾流。2.苏醒,守灵。源自原始印欧语词根*weg—,W形表转折,这里指反复看的动作,引申指“守望(=watch)、守灵、守夜”。守灵时多指与尸体同屋呆一晚上,或站着或坐着,后来喻指“苏醒(好像尸体一样睡了一宿后起身醒来)”。
例句:
She helped him to his sofa bed in the living room, and he still did not wake up.
她扶他上了起居室里他那张沙发床,而他仍然没有醒过来。


例句:
After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sleep but Istayed awake.
晚饭后,把她的头拉低王伟在她的枕头,就去睡觉了,但我始终保持警惕。


W形表反复看的动作,引申指监视、观察等。
例句:

如果对你来说没什么区别,我宁愿今晚早点睡觉,而不是熬夜看电视。


V形表曲折,引申指反复看,借指精力充沛的。中世纪前,西方人航海会因为缺乏维生素C而得坏血病而死亡。后来,水果蔬菜成为航行必备。这些东西会让人保持活力。vegetable后来被用来指“让人活力充沛的蔬菜”。
例句:
The food value of the fruit is low, but its delicate flavour makes it a popularvegetable for salads and relishes.
黄瓜的营养价值不高,但很受欢迎,常用做沙拉和配菜。

例句:
Alexander Vigil surprises his grandmother, Patsy Archuleta, with a facedecorated with icing from his birthday cake.
亚历山大守夜惊喜他的祖母,帕齐阿丘利塔与他的生日锦上添花装饰的脸。


警惕,就是仔细看、反复看。
