1.My wife was woken up several times by the noise the baggage elevator made.
wake up在口语中经常用于祈使句中,不仅表示“醒来,起床”。还有“振作起来”的意思。如You must wake up!(你必须振作起来!)
2.I’ll make a note of that.
make a note of ... 的意思是“把……记录下来”,如果我们想说“铭记于心”“牢记某事”,则可以用make a mental note of...来表示。如Sorry, I forget. I’ll make a mental note of it next time.(不好意思,我忘记了。下次我会记住的。)
