【用法说明】
1. 为表语形容词,所以不能用于名词前作定语;若语义需要置于名词前作定语,可用burning:

但ablaze有时可置于所修饰的名词后作定语:
The house ablaze is next door to me. 那家着火的房子就在我隔壁。(夸克《英语语法大全》)
用作后置定语时其本质仍是表语:
The house (which is) ablaze is next door to mine.(夸克《英语语法大全》)
2. 表示强调时,可用well 修饰:
By the time firefighters were called the house was well ablaze. 消防队员接到火警电话时,房子已是一片火海。(牛津英语搭配词典)
3. be ablaze with 为该词的一个常见搭配(参见上面的相关例句),其中的 with 表示原因。
