A gas-fired machine or heating system burns gas as its fuel — usually mains gas or natural gas, the kind that comes through for cooking, hot water and power stations, not the American word for petrol. A gas-fired boiler warms a house; a gas-fired plant makes electricity. here means “given fire; made to burn,” the same pattern as coal-fired or oil-fired, not “lost a job.” The word is ordinary in technical and housing talk: estate agents, engineers, news about energy. If the heat comes from electricity or from burning coal, it is not gas-fired.
以瓦斯或天然氣為燃料的(台日常說瓦斯;電廠、鍋爐也常說天然氣。不是汽油)
組成A compound of gas + fired. Fired here means “made to burn; powered by that fuel,” as of a boiler or furnace.
