- 1v/fjuːm/be very angry氣呼呼／發火
To be very angry about something, either keeping it inside or letting it show in the way you speak.
文法及物、不及物兩種都可以：後面可以接受詞，也可以不接。
fume 是「氣得冒煙」那種生氣：火在裡面燒著，可能一句話都不說，也可能一開口就衝。它跟 be angry 的差別在畫面感——fume 讓你看見一個人臉色鐵青地坐在那裡，熱氣還在往外冒。常見說法是 fume about／over 某件事、fume at 某個人；寫小說時也會直接放在引號後面代替 said。

- 2v/fjuːm/give off smoke or gas冒煙／冒氣
正式If something fumes, it gives off smoke, steam, or a strong-smelling gas.
文法不及物動詞：後面不接受詞。
這是 fume 的字面意思：東西在冒煙、冒氣，而且那股氣通常聞得到。它比 smoke 少見很多，多半出現在寫景或科學描述裡，例如火山口、工廠煙囪、溫泉。認得這個意思很有用，因為「生氣」的那個 fume 就是從這裡長出來的——一個是東西在冒煙，一個是人在冒煙。名詞 fumes（廢氣、油煙）也是同一家人。
常見搭配
a chimney fumes
煙囪冒煙
a chimney gives off smoke
The chimney fumed steadily through the afternoon.
a volcano fumes
火山冒氣
a volcano gives off gas and steam
