是的,在这种情况下,“ set off或“ setting off的含义与start相同。 Set off通常意味着开始新工作,也意味着旅行。取而代之的Set off ,你可以用这样的话begin, embark, depart, journey ,或类似表述set forth, set out, start out, set sail 。例子: He will soon embark on a solitary life. (他将很快独立。)示例: They will journey south on their road trip. (他们将向南行驶)。示例: Tomorrow I will set forth on a new adventure. (明天我将开始新的冒险。)示例: They set sail for France today. (他们今天航行到法国。)
