stay woke 呼籲人們要警醒
Welcome back to Info Cloud, friends. Over the past few years , "stay woke" has begun to find its way into English slang. You may have seen this phrase used as a hashtag on a Tweet or social media post.
Today we want to talk with you about what this phrase means. Woke is used in this phrase to mean awake. When you're awake, you're aware of your surroundings, you don't miss anything, and you know what is going on.
Awake, or woke when used in stay woke, refers to a different kind of awake.
To stay woke in this context means to stay aware, especially when it comes to social activism, political justice or staying vigilant.
It can also mean to become self-aware, be a call to action to stand up for what you believe or to realize the difference between what is fake and what is reality in the world.
It's kind of like warning someone to keep their eyes open and make sure they are aware of what's really going on.
Sometimes stay woke is used in a lighter tone or in a joking way as well.
How about if someone is woke? Well, that would mean that that person is with the times or that they get it.
近年來,woke 這個字成為人們常用的俚語,woke 是 wake 的過去式,代表醒過來。如果有人說 stay woke,那就是在呼籲人們要警醒,尤其是對一些社會運動和政治公益的議題,要特別關注。
When it comes to politics, we need to stay woke. 我們要特別警覺政治上發生的事情。stay woke 也是呼籲人們要分辨真相,不要被蒙蔽,你也可以說: Keep your eyes open. 眼睛睜大一點,跟 stay woke 有相同的意思。如果單用 woke 來形容一個人,那就代表他與時俱進,非常跟得上時代潮流。
