1. 首先我们来说一说如何表达“着火”。
有三个短语都可以表示着火，最简单的是be on fire。比如：
The house is on fire! 房子着火了!
catch fire
His house caught fire last night.
昨晚他家失火了。
take fire
First the curtains took fire and then the bedclothes. 窗帘首先着了火，接着被单也着火了。
2. Take fire 除了表示“着火”以外，还可以表示becoming excited“激动起来”。
The audience took fire at his words. 观众听了他的话群情激昂。
3. get on like a house on fire
Get on：进展，相处。所以get on like a house on fire也有两个意思是，一个是发展迅速，一个是（朋友）一见如故。
Johnny is getting on like a house on fire in French. 约翰尼的法语进步十分快。
这句话中get on fire like a house 是指“发展迅速”。
We got on like a house on fire. 我们一见如故。
这句话中“get on fire like a house”是指“一见如故”。
4. go through fire and water 赴汤蹈火
I go through fire and water for Mildred. 为了米尔列德我愿意赴汤蹈火。
5. 最后我们来学习“玩火”的表达：play with fire 玩火，铤而走险。
Any student who tries to cheat the examiner is playing with fire.
想要欺骗监考老师的任何学生都无异于玩火。
监考老师 examiner
