Ví dụ
The path is cleared, the fat is in the fire, and Donald Trump is one step closer to the White House.

The secret is out and the fat is in the fire as Ben Mitchell confesses to the murder of Heather Trott in 'EastEnders', but in spite of his confession, plod nearly didn't want to know.

As for the allegations of Rahul Gandhi, the Supreme Court has taken note of them. In the wake of the court hearing, many skeletons may tumble out of the closet. Now that the Congress vice-president has refused to apologize - one can only hope that he will stick to his statement - the fat is in the fire and the public may see ideological warfare in the court itself. Rahul Gandhi is either made or marred.

* Las Fallas, Valencia Spain Spring Festival, the building and burning of the Falla 15th to 19th March. Europe's largest and longest street party, an exuberant, anarchic, round the clock swirl of fireworks, music, explosions and fire that brings an estimated two million visitors to the city. The more than 350 fallas are giant sculptures of papier maché and wood. They satirise celebrities and politicians and local customs. The cremà after midnight on 19th March is when every falla goes up in flames except for one small ninot.
