I think the engine's overheating again. Try not to overheat the sauce. 2） Stifling：a stifling, crowded train 三、用于人 表示人感觉热，又该用什么词呢？众多“热”词选手中，只有几个有此能力。 1、hot: if you feel hot, your body feels hot in a way that is uncomfortable : I was hot and tired after the journey. The wine made her feel hot. I feel so hot that I want to take off all my clothes. 不过，近几年在口语中，hot越来越多地指其他意思了。 A hot girl. She is hot. 等再也不是“感觉很热”的意思了。 2. bake （vi）used to say that a person or place is very hot : We sat baking in the sun. I'm baking! I am baked in the scorching sun. 3. roasted/roasting: I am roasting/roasted in the scorching sun. a roasting hot day I'm absolutely roasting in this suit. 4. sweat/perspire: I was sweating a lot despite the air conditioning. sweat heavily/profusely (= sweat a lot ) Within minutes she was sweating profusely. perspire：If you perspire, parts of your body become wet,especially because you are hot or have been doing hard work SYN sweat: Willie was perspiring heavily.The game of squash left me perspiring profusely.He mopped his perspiring face with a handkerchief. 5、boiling: You must be boiling in that sweater. (Informal) It is boiling hot in here. 四、用于物体（烧、灼烧相关） 1） 因为温度太高而致毛发、纸张、毛制品等物体边缘稍稍卷起，但没有破坏得严重。这个词的过去分词要特别注意，不是singing，那成了“唱歌”啦，而是singeing 2） scorch：To damage the surface of something by burning it so that a dark mark is left on it : Having the iron on a very high heat can scorch the fabric. The heater was left on all night and it scorched the wall. 3） burn 直接焚烧，以达到完全破坏之目的 （等同于set fire to或set …on fire…这是明目张胆的“放火”了）――破坏性最强 4） Scald: to burn your skin with very hot liquid or steam: The coffee was so hot it nearly scalded his tongue.| It's easy to knock a pan off the stove and scald yourself. | He was scalded by steam escaping from the broken pipe. 外研社官方博客：http://blog.sina.com.cn/fltrp19 |
