用法说明
call, summon
这两个词都含有“召集”或“召唤”之义，有时可互换，如：
I was summoned/called to testify in court.我应召出庭作证。二者区别在于：
call比较口语化，可作“呼唤”解，常表示大声地召唤；也可表示“客观需要”、“自然界的吸引”或“神的召唤”等，例如：
He stood up when the teacher called his name.老师叫他时他站了起来。
I suddenly heard someone call me from the other side of the street.我突然听到街对面有人叫我。
I felt called upon to speak.我感到有必要发言。
而summon则比较正式，常表示官方强制、专横或紧急的“召唤”或“召集”；也可表示“使出”力量、“鼓起”勇气等义，例如：
Summon the soldiers immediately.立即把士兵们召集起来。
I summoned all my strength to face them.我使出全身力气去面对他们。
