burn_down的意思_音标_例句

burn down

音标
英 [bɜːn daʊn],美 [bɜːrn daʊn]

核心释义

烧毁:指建筑物、村庄等被火焰完全摧毁,强调结果为“化为废墟”。例如:“The school building was burned down in the big fire.”(学校大楼在大火中被烧毁)。

逐渐熄灭:指火焰自然减弱直至消失,如“Let the fire burn down.”(让火慢慢熄了吧)。

用法特点

及物动词:主语可为人或自然力量,宾语多为具体建筑或结构。例如:“Anarchists burnt down a restaurant.”(无政府主义者烧毁了一家饭店)。

不及物动词:描述事物自身被烧毁的状态,如“The house burned down.”(房子被烧毁了)。

区别于burn up:burn down侧重“烧毁建筑物”,而burn up强调“烧尽、消耗”,如燃料或物品完全燃尽。

注意事项
在敏捷开发中,“Burndown Chart”(燃尽图)是独立术语,指跟踪任务进度的图表,与“烧毁”含义无关。

从日常场景到历史事件,burn down始终围绕“火焰的摧毁力与自然衰减”展开。下次看到火灾新闻时,你会如何用这个短语描述灾情?
