Memory Tip
把rouse记作'扰醒'的谐音，唤醒或激起。
Context & Register
语域：mixed 常见场景：日常对话、文学、演讲 该词既可以用于日常对话表示叫醒，也可以用于正式或文学场合表示激发情绪，因此语域混合。注意在口语中较少使用"rouse"表示唤醒，更常用"wake up"，但在书面语中常见。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Words with /aʊz/ (same ending sound): arouse, browse, drowse, carouse. Note: house, mouse, blouse, grouse etc. share the vowel sound but end in /s/ instead of /z/, so they do not fully rhyme with rouse.
