燎原烈火liáo yuán liè huǒa blazing (/spreading/raging) prairie fire
? 惡之易也，如火之燎于原，不可鄉(xiāng)邇，其猶可撲滅？(《左傳·隱六年》)The evil issues of enmity develop easily,as when there is a fire blazing on a plain. It cannot be approached,and still less can it be beaten out. 燎原烈火liáo yuán liè huǒ燎：燒；原：原野。原指像烈火在原野上燃燒一樣，使人不能接近?，F(xiàn)多比喻不斷壯大、不可抗拒的革命力量。a blazing prairie fire, raging flames |
