表达 fan the flame 的意思是故意煽动、怂恿他人，火上浇油，使已经令人不快的情绪或紧张局势变得更糟。

　　例句

　　Don't fan the flames - the situation is already bad enough.

　　Such behaviours are only fanning the flames.

　　The speech seemed to have fanned the flames.

　　请注意

　　另外，表达 go down in flames 的意思是某事以失败告终，就像被烈火烧尽了一样。而且事情的失败很可能是出人意料的。

　　例句

　　The project went down in flames when, at the last minute, the manager cut the budget in half.

　　Our plan to redecorate went down in flames when the landlord said no.

　　如果某人总对同一件事抱怨连篇，而且你并不同意这个人的看法，我们就可以用表达 harp on about something 来形容此人喋喋不休、唠叨不停的样子。

　　例句

　　I wish he'd stop harping on about the website design. It's perfectly fine but he's insisting we change it.

　　I don't think I can come out tonight. My partner's harping on about how we need to save money for our holiday and I shouldn't be doing things like going out and enjoying myself.

　　Stop harping on about tidying my office. I'll get around to it when I've got the time. I'm just really busy at the moment.

　　请注意

　　另一个类似的表达 to go on about something 也有某人重复性地说同一个话题的意思，但它和 to harp on about something 的区别是此人并不一定是在发牢骚。

　　例句

　　Why do you keep going on about it? We can't change it, so let's just forget it.

　　She keeps going on about her old boyfriend. I don't think she's over him yet.
