昂立外语【新概念培训】分享fire的有趣用法吧。Fire在我们生活中常常出现，意思不外乎以下几个。

         Lesson 5 The facts He sent yet another telegram informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. 这里的fire作动词，意思为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. 这里的fire作名词，是我们经常会谈到的“火”，所以fire-brigade就是消防队，fireman也就是消防员。

         下面要给大家扩充的fire其实也逃不出其基本意思，根据联想总是能找到共性的，只不过是给大家说说灵活的fire短语吧。

         The fire seemed to die in him when his wife left. （他妻子离开后，他的生命之河似乎熄灭了。）这句话主要就是让大家学会写作文的时候利用下这种生动的语言。

         The health minister has come under fire from all sides. “处于火”之下，应该可以猜到是be severely criticized的意思哈！“卫生部长受到来自各方的责难。”

         The room was full of journalists, all firing questions at them. 这里的现在分词作状语，我们可以看出fire是动词，fire有射击的意思，因此理解下来，fire questions/insults at sb.就是对某人发出连珠炮似的问题/辱骂的意思了。

那么，我们也就能够理解下面这段对话了。

         “I’ve got a few questions.” “OK then, let’s fire away.” 你一定能想象接受提问的人的自信满满:“好的，那就发问吧。（放马过来吧！）”

         因此，我们就能理解He fired off all the homework for the reason that he couldn’t wait to watch cartoons.

大家现在知道fire用法拉吧！
