fume

Compared meaning: smoke or gas produced by burning or chemicals (noun).

比较义项：燃烧或化学物质产生的烟／烟气（名词）。

• smoke

  General, neutral word for the grey or black cloud produced by fire or burning material; usually singular and not necessarily unpleasant-smelling.

  泛指火或燃烧物产生的灰色或黑色烟雾，语气中性，通常用单数，未必带有难闻的气味。

  The smoke from the bonfire made everyone's eyes water.

  篝火冒出的烟熏得大家眼睛直流泪。

• fume 本词

  Strong-smelling, often harmful gas rather than visible burning smoke; typically used in the plural 'fumes' and linked to chemicals, paint, or engine exhaust.

  指气味强烈、常有害的气体，而非一般燃烧产生的烟；通常用复数 fumes，多与化学品、油漆或引擎废气有关。

  The mechanic felt dizzy from the fumes in the garage.

  修理工在车库里被废气熏得头晕。

Both words mean visible or smelly gas. Smoke is the neutral word for grey or black clouds from burning. Fume means a strong, often harmful gas, usually plural (fumes), from chemicals or exhaust. Fume as a verb meaning 'very angry' is not compared here.

这两个词都指看得见、有气味的气体或烟雾，但 smoke 泛指燃烧产生的烟，颜色通常为灰色或黑色，语气中性；fume 强调气味浓烈、常有毒性的气体，多用复数形式 fumes，且多来自化学品、引擎废气等，而非普通燃烧。这里不比较 fume 作动词表示“愤怒，冒火”的用法。
