一看到“加油”，你是否就会想到"come on, add oil 呢？” 
其实这个词在中文中有很多意思，在不同的意思下，英文表达也是不一样的。

今天我们就来聊聊“加油”这个词的英文表达。

拉拉队员朝球员们大声喊道：“加油！加油！”。

The cheering squad shouted loudly to the football players, "Cheers!"

The cheering squad shouted loudly to the football players, "Fighting!" 

The cheering squad shouted loudly to the football players, "Go! Go! Go!“

cheers 的意思是祝酒用语，意思是“干杯”，而fighting 一词又太过激烈。 
给运动员加油鼓劲我们通常只要说“Go! Go! Go! 就好了。

此外“加油”还有以下意思：

给运输工具添加燃油
英语可用动词”fuel“,或者”refuel"。
The car stopped to refuel. 
车停下来加油。

给机器添加润滑油：

这里可把 "oil” 当动词来使用。
He oiled his bike and pumped up the tyres. 
他给自行车上了油，给轮胎打了气。

所以 The car needs fueling 和 The car needs oiling 的意思是完全不同的。
加把劲儿
