be anxious about表示的一般是担心的"内容"； anxious for表示的一般是渴望得到的"目标"。

All of us are anxious about his safety. 我们都为他的安全担忧。

We were anxious for his safe return. 我们盼望他平安归来。

anxious 与eager两者意思接近，但eager 强调"对成功的渴望"或"进取的热情"，含有积极向上的意思；anxious 强调"担心"或"着急"，对结果感到不安。

I'm eager for a holiday. 我急切地盼望着假期。

I'm eager to do that interesting work . 我渴望做那件有趣的工作。

该句 The food cooking on the fire smells great 和and 之后的部分为两个并列的分句；在第一个分句中，cooking on the fire 是现在分词短语作定语，修饰food；

在第二个分句中，while you are having a hot cup of tea 是状语从句，说明谓语动词relax and watch 的时间，while 意为"当......时候"，表示一段时间，其后的谓语是延续动词；

watch the sun go down为"感官动词+宾语+不带to 的不定式作补语"结构。smell 在该句中为连系动词，意为"闻起来"，后接形容词作表语。如： This kind of flower smells sweet. 这种花闻起来很香。
