　　“When I want to get fired up, I listen to Jay-Z.”
　　—R&B singer Jay Sean, talking about one of his favorite artists.
　　Meaning:
　　Excited, interested, having a lot of energy
　　Use
　　It’s not surprising that Jay-Z’s music gets Jay Sean fired up. His music is hot. And as we all know, you can’t have fire without heat.
　　When someone is fired up, he is excited and full of energy. Getting fired up can have a positive[正面的] or a negative[负面的] meaning. Jay Sean uses it in a positive sense. Listening to Jay-Z energizes and excites him in a good way.
　　But sometimes getting fired up means getting angry or having strong negative feelings about something. For example, people often get fired up over political debates[争论，辩论]. They have such strong feelings of passion for their side of the debate and anger toward the opposing side, it is almost like they are on fire.
　　Jay Sean likes to listen to Jay-Z at the gym because it gets him fired up for his workout.
　　What gets you fired up?
　　Examples
　　Jane is really fired up about country music right now. She can’t stop talking about it!（简现在对乡村音乐真是入了迷，她一直在说个不停！）
　　Watching the Olympics really fired me up.（看奥运比赛让我很兴奋。）
　　I’m really fired up about going to the basketball game tonight. I think our team is going to win.（今晚要去看篮球比赛，这真让我兴奋。我认为我们队会赢。）
