用法说明
fire
catch fire, get on fire, set on fire, light
这些词和词组都含“火烧起来”之义。其区别在于：
catch fire意为“着火”，指偶然发生；get on fire意为“起火”；而set on fire则意为“放火”，含有故意之义；“点燃”某物则用light。试比较：
The man was severely burned when his clothes caught fire.那人的衣服着火了，伤势很重。
Some sparks got the haystack on fire.火星把一堆干草烧着了。
They set fire to the car.他们放火烧了汽车。=(They set the car on fire.)
