“You’re on fire”の意味と使い方 Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 191

hello everyone and welcome to this

week's bizmates for beginners

I have a really interesting expression

lined up for you and that is you're on

fire but don't worry nobody is actually

on fire it's just a really interesting

expression that we use and I'm going to

tell you how to use it and what it means

but first as always let's do a quick

review of last week's expression and

make sure all of you are up to speed

okay everyone so you imagine we are

going to go out for drinks or we're

going to go out for dinner so I go to

the restaurant first and I'm waiting

okay everyone's waiting for you and you

haven't arrived yet so I send you a

message and I say hey are you still at

the office

everyone's waiting for you and you

you're coming right now you'll be there

very very soon so what do you say you've

got five seconds okay go all right and

time is up if you said I'll be there in

a flash

then that's exactly right and thank you

for remembering last week's expression

okay everyone so moving on to this

week's phrase you're on fire now this is

what I sometimes hear okay so recently

I've been working very very hard I've

been visiting lots of customers and lots

of clients trying to get contracts and

I've been very successful so I'm talking

to Taro and I say taro guess what I just

got three new contracts and taro he's

really happy he's really excited for me

and he says wow you're continuously

doing a great job okay

Thank You Taro for your kind words now

although this is okay the grammar is

fine it's a little bit long

it's a little bit formal for this

situation so if we wanted to shorten

this if we wanted to make it a little

bit more impactful and natural that's

right Taro can say wow you're on fire

okay so whenever someone has a string of

successes for example in my case I'm

getting lots and lots of contracts then

I'm on fire okay or whenever someone is

doing something very successfully

continuously okay so you'll hear this

expression a lot for example in sports

so for example basketball you know if a

basketball player is constantly shooting

and scoring constantly getting points

he's unstoppable

okay he's on fire okay or if a baseball

player is constantly hitting home runs

okay he or she is on fire alright so

whenever you're constantly continuously

getting success when you're unstoppable

when you're really really great okay

you're on fire all right okay everyone

so pronunciation is just as you see it

written here this week nothing special

so please repeat after me you're on fire

your turn alright good now after my

sentence I just got three new contracts

all right very good very good okay

everyone so please make sure to remember

this for next time and use this in your

daily conversation okay all right so our

bonus question this week is another way

to ask what day is she or he getting

married all right if you know the answer

leave it in the comments below if you

don't you can find it in one of our

previous bizmates for beginners video

lessons okay all right and a quick shout

out to all the people that have been

leaving comments thank you so much and

especially to you JP Dynabook who has

been on fire with these bonus questions
