뜻
Being asked many difficult questions.
문화적 배경
Directness in questioning is often seen as a sign of interest or challenge, making this idiom very common in professional life. Similar to Polish, the 'under fire' metaphor is universally understood in corporate settings. Questioning is often more indirect; being 'in the fire' is a very strong, almost aggressive description. The 'under fire' metaphor is often linked to actual conflict, so it carries more weight.
