【适用场合】
今天的节目中，我们来学习一下英文中fire away的用法。
英文中fire有“开火”的意思；
fire away也可以理解成to begin to shoot a weapon“开始射击；连续射击；不断开火”的意思；所以在口语中，如果有人要一连串问你很多问题，这个时候我们也可以用fire away，相当于to ask many questions；
eg: OK, fire away—what do you want to know about my date last night?
好了，尽管问吧，昨晚我约会的事情，你都想知道些什么？
eg: A: "I know you want to, so fire away."
B: "What did Ed say? How cute did he look? Did he ask about me?"
A：“我知道你想问，尽管问吧。”
B：“艾德说了什么？他看起来有多帅？他提到我了吗？”
eg: The cops fired away at him for an hour.
警方不停地问他问题，持续了整整一个小时。
eg: When it was time for questions, the reporters began firing away at the mayor.
到了提问环节，记者们开始连珠炮般地向市长发问。
