在英语中，常用“full steam ahead”来形容某人做事的状态，其意思指的是此人工作起来“全力以赴，蓬勃向前”。

We must get this project finished before the presentation tomorrow. Come on, full steam ahead, team!
Natalie went full steam ahead with the plans for her wedding.
John, Sarah and Michael went full steam ahead in their attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.
值得注意的时候，还有一个与steam相关的短语“let off steam”，指的是一股脑地发泄出愤怒和失望情绪，通常以大声喊叫的形式来出气。



I’m sorry I shouted at you earlier, I was just letting off some steam.
