realize one's mistake

让某人醒悟过来

awaken somebody to the reality

zhè ge shí hou tā cái měng rán xǐng wù tā shì ài tā de

这个时候她才猛然醒悟，她是爱他的。

It was then this she realised, with blinding clarity, that she loved him.

jǐ gè yuè hòu wǒ men huǎng rán xǐng wù fā xiàn zì jǐ yǐ lí chū zhōng tài yuǎn

几个月后，我们恍然醒悟，发现自己已离初衷太远。

We wake up several months later and realise that our trim body has well and truly left the station.
