昂立外語【新概念培訓】分享fire的有趣用法吧。Fire在我們生活中常常出現，意思不外乎以下幾個。
Lesson 5 The facts He sent yet another telegram informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. 這里的fire作動詞，意思為dismiss，解雇。
Lesson15 Fifty pence worth of trouble The fire-brigade was called and two firemen freed George using a special type of grease. 這里的fire作名詞，是我們經常會談到的“火”，所以fire-brigade就是消防隊，fireman也就是消防員。
下面要給大家擴充的fire其實也逃不出其基本意思，根據聯想總是能找到共性的，只不過是給大家說說靈活的fire短語吧。
The fire seemed to die in him when his wife left. （他妻子離開后，他的生命之河似乎熄滅了。）這句話主要就是讓大家學會寫作文的時候利用下這種生動的語言。
The health minister has come under fire from all sides. “處于火”之下，應該可以猜到是be severely criticized的意思哈！“衛生部長受到來自各方的責難。”
The room was full of journalists, all firing questions at them. 這里的現在分詞作狀語，我們可以看出fire是動詞，fire有射擊的意思，因此理解下來，fire questions/insults at sb.就是對某人發出連珠炮似的問題/辱罵的意思了。
那么，我們也就能夠理解下面這段對話了。
“I’ve got a few questions.” “OK then, let’s fire away.” 你一定能想象接受提問的人的自信滿滿:“好的，那就發問吧。（放馬過來吧！）”
因此，我們就能理解He fired off all the homework for the reason that he couldn’t wait to watch cartoons.
大家現在知道fire用法拉吧！
