Olympic fever got hold of Britain this weekend as the Triple Olympic gold medallist sailor Ben Ainslie was the first person to carry the Olympic flame on its 70-day journey.
Fired up 点燃了
当某人is 或 becomes fired up, 这就意味着这个人对某件事情充满热情和期待。但也可能意味着某人很生气。
今日小常识
flame first burned for a modern summer Olympic Games at Amsterdam 1928, but it was not until Berlin 1936 that a full torch relay was staged.
1928年在阿姆斯特丹举行的现代夏季奥运会上，第一次点亮了火炬。但直到1936年柏林奥运会的时候才上演了全套火炬接力项目。
例句
I've managed to get hold of some tickets for the final and the thought of watching it in person has really got me fired up.
I was talking to someone about politics and we got really fired up and started shouting at each other.
请注意
别把 to get fired up 和 to fire away (at someone) 这两个短语给混淆了。当某人 fires away (at someone) 意思是某人向其他人提出很多问题。
I know you're curious about my trip to the Amazon. Please fire away. |
