"[He was ] telling her to burn, yeah, just not a very pleasant sight.
“（他）喊着让她烧，哎，实在让人不忍看。”
"The car was completely engulfed, she was completely engulfed, there was just black smoke pouring out from underneath the servo. We were just trying to get her away because we didn’t know if they had shut the valves off to the pumps or anything."
“汽车被火焰完全吞没了，她也被火焰完全吞没，只见加油站上方黑烟滚滚。我们努力想把她救出来，因为我们不知道（工作人员）是否关闭了加油站的阀门。”

文中几处值得学习的词语：
1.pear-shaped:
The third meaning is mostly limited to the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australasia. It describes a situation that went awry, perhaps horribly wrong.

2.Servo
# Australian slang term for a petrol station; a contraction of "service station".

跟楼主一样，我在不确定新词语的时候，也会去wiki 看解释。我当时翻的那篇讲油画的，真让我出汗。反正已经赚到一笔活动分了，也不打算再翻了。很佩服楼主翻的另外一篇是有关验尸官和法医的，厉害！

你那一篇是有关艺术的，更难。
