Flame 是火焰，in flames 表示在燃燒，go down in flames 字面意思是燃燒著下墜，這個說法原本是形容飛機在火焰中墜毀的場面， 后來被用做來表示事情徹底毀了、毀于一旦。
【例句】
The football player's career went down in flames after the media learned he'd been losing on purpose to settle gambling debts.
這名足球運動員的職業生涯在媒體得知他故意輸掉賭債后毀于一旦。
It’s those who are not afraid of going down in flames who eventually succeed.
不怕失敗的人最終才能獲得成功。
