词汇讲解
1.negativity noun.

释义:an attitude in which someone considers only the bad qualities of a situation, person etc, not the good ones消极的,否认的;

2.fuel noun.

请看run out of fuel 词组在电影《阿波罗13号》中的应用:

(我知道飞船没燃料了,所以我想把它扔进海里。)
ditch的用法在往期的《每日口语积累》栏目中讲过,点我跳转回顾。
抽象含义:刺激物→给...加油、激起
例句:

上调进口关税的决定只会火上浇油。(火上浇油→add fuel to the fire)
拓展:去国外加油站说“帮我给车加满油”可以说 Fill it up, please./Refill my car, please.
3.silver lining expression.
释义:(不幸或失望中的) 一线希望
有句谚语叫 Every cloud has a silver lining,苦难就像cloud(乌云)遮住了阳光,silver lining(银色的光线)终会冲破乌云,再次让一切变得光明。所以,这句话意味着熬过困难,就会有拨云见日的那一天。
