"Like blue blazes" = như ngọn lửa xanh -> cụm từ này nghĩa là rất nhiều, dữ dội, mãnh liệt, điên lên.

Ví dụ
Tennessee Private Sam Watkins remembered, “Two hundred cannon were roaring and belching (nổ ra, phun ra) like blue blazes. It seemed that the earth was frequently moved from its foundations, and you could hear it grate (kêu kèn kẹt) as it moved.”

This will be the second Geneva Motor Show since Alpine's resuscitation (sự phục hồi) by parent company Renault. In 2017 it was one of the stars of the show, with critics fawning (xun xoe, bợ đỡ) over its good looks and clear allusions (sự ám chỉ) to the classic Alpine. The new car has a 1.8-litre engine producing 252bhp, and, according to Andrew English, "goes like blue blazes".

I think that they will look at what we tried to do, what we began, which is to create a mindset in Coloradans that you could be pro-business but at the same time have the highest environmental standards, the highest ethical (thuộc về đạo đức) standards; that you could fight like blue blazes to make sure that companies are accountable and that the jobs that are being created are accessible (dễ tiếp cận) to people from all different backgrounds, and that we were actually expanding the middle class (tầng lớp trung lưu).
