- 1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)
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.
「gas-fired」指用瓦斯或天然氣當燃料的機器或系統,通常是管線瓦斯或天然氣,用來煮飯、熱水或發電,不是美式英語說的汽油。瓦斯鍋爐幫房子加熱,天然氣發電廠則是發電,形成「gas-fired + 名詞」的說法,例如「a gas-fired boiler」。
這裡的 fired 是「點火、讓它燒」的意思,和 coal-fired、oil-fired 屬於同一類,和「被解雇」是另一個意思。這個字常見於技術和住宅相關的用語,像房仲、工程師和能源新聞。如果熱來自電力或燒煤,就不是 gas-fired。
組成A compound of gas + fired. Fired here means “made to burn; powered by that fuel,” as of a boiler or furnace.
