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.

To stop sleeping停止睡覺，or to make someone else stop sleeping或讓別人停止睡覺。It means the same thing as wake or wake up它的意思跟 wake 或 wake up 一樣，but it sounds older and more literary但聽起來比較古老、比較文學——you meet it in novels, poems, hymns and the Bible far more than in speech你在小說、詩、聖詩和聖經裡碰到它的機會，遠比在口語裡多得多。If a friend needs an early start如果朋友需要早起，you say "Can you wake me at six?"你會說「Can you wake me at six?」，not "Can you waken me at six?"而不會說「Can you waken me at six?」——the second one sounds like a line from a story第二種說法聽起來像故事裡的台詞。
