今天學的詞組是fan the flames。煽子和火？生煤爐？現在沒有人用煤爐了！對，fan the flames是指煽風點火，煽動情緒。美國前總統克林頓因記者提的問題而非常生氣。這記者說：I don't think I am fanning the flames here。我不是想煽動情緒。
一般都是已經有些問題，經別人一煽動，事情就更糟，"To fan the flames would often make the situation even worse." 夫妻倆感情本來就有些問題，再加上婆婆一煽動， "with a mother-in-law fanning the flames, the couple finally divorced," 夫妻終于離婚。另一對夫婦也有矛盾，兒子對媽媽說："Yes, we have problems, but you don't need to fan the flames," 你不必再來煽動了。今天學的詞組是fan the flames...
