When someone has had a string of successes, we can say they are 'on fire.'

當一個人有一連串的成功時，我們可以說他 "火 "了。

Neil: Ahhh, I get it. Shall we give some examples?

尼爾：啊，我明白了。要不我們舉幾個例子？

I can't believe my team have won ten games in a row – they're on fire.

我不敢相信我的球隊已經連續贏了十場比賽--他們火力全開。

My friend is taking two extra classes and I thought she'd be exhausted by now but she's on fire! She's getting really good grades in every subject.

我的朋友加了兩門課，我以為她現在已經累得不行了，但她卻火力全開!她的各科成績都非常好。

The actor was on fire in the early 2000s, but his recent performances haven't been to the same standard.

這位演員在2000年初曾火過，但他最近的表現卻沒有達到同樣的標準。

Feifei: This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English and we're talking about the phrase 'on fire'.

飛飛：這裡是BBC學英語的《我們說的英語》，我們說的是 "火 "這個詞。

Though this can mean that something is burning, a more informal use is to say that someone is experiencing a series of successes, one after another.

雖然這可能意味著東西正在燃燒，但更非正式的用法是說某人正在經歷一系列的成功，一個接一個。

Neil: That's right, Feifei, so for example, I've been on fire this month – I exceeded all my targets at work and earned a bonus for my success!

尼爾：沒錯，飛飛，那比如說我這個月就火了--我在工作中超額完成了所有的指標，成功的賺到了獎金！你說我能不火嗎？

Feifei: That's great, Neil – congratulations!

飛飛：太好了，尼爾--恭喜你！你是我的朋友。

Your work is on fire!

你的作品很火爆!

Neil: Hmmm, not quite, Feifei!

尼爾：嗯，不完全是，飛飛!

That would mean my scripts are burning!

那就意味著我的劇本被燒掉了!

You can only use this expression to describe the person or people who are experiencing success.

你只能用這種表達方式來形容正在經歷成功的人或人。

Feifei: Ah OK – so we can say a footballer is on fire if he has scored lots of goals, but we can't say his football is on fire.

飛飛。啊，好吧--所以，如果一個足球運動員進了很多球，我們可以說他很火，但我們不能說他的足球很火。

Neil: That's 100% right, Feifei! It seems we're both on fire today!

尼爾：百分百正確，飛飛!看來今天我們倆都火了!

Feifei: I couldn't agree more, Neil!

飛飛：我非常同意，尼爾!
