火能很快烧遍整座房子。

Fire can spread through a house soon.

田纳西与我一见如故，很快打得火热，火到有一次他的香烟差点把房子给烧了。

Tennessee and I got on like a house on fire – and he nearly burnt the house down once with his cigarettes.

任何事情都是周期性的，在困难时应该处之泰然，但也别在自家房子还烧着的时候因为别人家厨房着了火兴奋阿。

Everything is cyclical and it pays to be equanimous at times of difficulty, but it is not worth to be happy about fire in someones' kitchen when your whole house is ablaze.
