【字面理解】火的洗礼

【英文解析】a very difficult first experience of something

【中文解析】第一次实战经验;首次严峻的考验

【典型例句】① Her first day in the job was a real baptism of fire because she had to deal with a very difficult case immediately. 从事这项工作的第一天她就经受了一场严峻的考验， 因为她得立即处理一件非常棘手的案子。

② Leon received his baptism of fire in a naval battle when he was eighteen years old.利昂 18 岁时有了 第一次海战的经历。

【注释】最初是宗教用语，意指神裁法(ordeal，如将嫌 疑犯的手置于火中来判断其是否有罪。1870年，追 求战功的法国国王拿破仑三世(Napoleon m)和普鲁 士(Prussia)开战，派十四岁的儿子上战场磨炼，当时 法国人说这是对那孩子火的洗礼。法国在战争中惨 败，但那孩子却侥幸逃过一死。后来，该习语便代指 新兵第一次上战场的经历，后又引申为初次尝到的难 堪经验。
