1. call 是一个多义词，有时在没有上下文的情况下可能有歧义，如 call sb 就可表示“呼唤某人”“叫醒某人”“打电话给某人”等。如：
Hang on! I’ll call him. 别挂电话！我去叫他。
Call me if I don’t wake up in time. 如果到时我没醒的话，请叫醒我。
On reaching the airport she called me up. 抵达机场时她给我打了一个电话。
2. 比较以下正误句型（误句多为受汉语习惯影响）：
这个东西用英语怎么说？
正：What do you call this in English?
正：How do you say this in English?
误：How do you call this in English?
他名叫李华。
正：His name is Li Hua. / He is called Li Hua.
误：His name is called Li Hua.
单词：call的近义词、反义词、形近词辨析
summon/call
I'll call you after lunch.午饭后我将叫你。
I summon your brother,the worst of your bad race,to answer for them separately.我要叫你的弟弟——你们这些孬种中最坏的一个，单独来偿还这一切。
<辨析>这两个动词都有“召集”、“召唤”的意思。call 是一般用语，后面中 somebody 作宾语，意思是“叫某人”。summon 常用于召集会议、召唤证人、召唤被告和召集陪审官等场合，后面可跟 somebody 作宾语。也可用于 summon sb.to do sth.结构中，表示“召唤某人做某事”，call 不能这样用。
