意味
To cause someone else to stop sleeping.
文化的背景
The 'Wake-up Call' is a very common hotel service. It's also a common idiom for a warning sign. For example, 'The heart attack was a wake-up call to start exercising.' In cultures with a 'siesta' or afternoon nap tradition, waking someone up during this time is often seen as more disruptive or rude than in '9-to-5' cultures. Punctuality is extremely important. Waking someone up to ensure they aren't late is seen as a helpful, almost necessary act of care among family members. We now 'wake up' our devices. If a computer is in 'sleep mode,' you 'wake it up' by moving the mouse or touching a key.
Separable Rule
Always put pronouns (me, you, him, her, it, us, them) in the middle: 'Wake me up!'
Irregular Past
Remember: wake -> woke -> woken. Never say 'waked.'

Wake-up Calls
In a hotel, you don't ask for a 'wake-up'; you ask for a 'wake-up call.'

I have a big meeting tomorrow. Please ______ at 6:00 AM.
Since the speaker is talking about themselves, the pronoun 'me' must go in the middle.
Which sentence is grammatically correct?
The loud noise...
'Woke' is the correct past tense, and since 'the baby' is a noun, it can go at the end or in the middle.
Complete the dialogue.
A: Is John still sleeping? B: Yes, he is. A: We need to leave in ten minutes. Can you ______?
We use the base form 'wake' after 'can,' and the pronoun 'him' must be in the middle.
Match the sentence to the situation.
1. 'This coffee will wake you up!' 2. 'I woke up to the sound of rain.' 3. 'The alarm woke me up.'
1 is figurative, 2 is intransitive (I woke up), and 3 is transitive (The alarm woke me up).
