adj.|waking/sleepless;醒着的;失眠的;警覺的
wakeful 是一個形容詞,主要用于描述以下三種狀态:
無法入睡的清醒狀态
指因生理或心理原因長時間保持清醒,常見于失眠或焦慮場景。例如:"The wakeful night left her exhausted the next day"(徹夜未眠讓她次日疲憊不堪)。劍橋詞典将其定義為"unable to sleep"(無法入睡),并收錄于醫學相關睡眠障礙文獻中。
主動保持警覺的狀态
在文學或正式語境中,可表示高度警覺或戒備。例如:"The sentry remained wakeful throughout his watch"(哨兵在崗期間始終保持警惕)。牛津英語辭典指出該用法多見于19世紀詩歌及軍事文本。
作為時間段的修飾詞
搭配"hours""nights"等時間名詞時,強調該時段處于清醒狀态。如:"wakeful hours spent caring for the newborn"(照顧新生兒的不眠之夜)。該用法被《韋氏詞典》标注為"literary use"(文學用法),常見于小說描寫。
