汽车引擎燃烧不顺畅,从排气管排出的异常爆响,可以叫做backfire。



另外,发生森林大火,火势失去控制,有一种颇特殊的灭火方法也叫backfire。方法是在火势延烧的方向的前方,除了清出一条防火巷(fire alley)之外,并且引燃另一场火,让它烧回去。两股火势碰头时,也就是燃料烧尽而不得不熄灭的时候。可是这种方法有它的危险性,就是新点燃的火要能完全掌握,场地和环境等要整理得很彻底。不然就很可能把一场火灾变成两场火灾。


Backfire最常见的解释就是“弄巧成拙,”就是事情没有按照原定计划发展,反而收到反效果。这一重意思来自于以火灭火的backfire,却越烧越旺的结果。因此,backfire最常和plan之类的字一起出现。


另外有一个构造很象的字:backlash,表示反扑,好象你去鞭打(lash)对方,结果对方起而反扑,夺去鞭子反过来鞭打你一样。
