1. 認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)詞（基礎(chǔ)篇）
詞：embark on
英英釋義：to start a new project or activity, usually one that will be difficult and will take time
例句：After graduation, I embarked on a master’s degree at Beijing Film Academy.
2. 體會(huì)這個(gè)詞 （進(jìn)階篇）
“embark on”是個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)，表示“開始做”，我們?cè)谝恍┱Z(yǔ)境中用它替換 start, begin 這些表示開始的單詞。embark on 的本意是“登船”，因此相比 start， embark on 表示“開始做”時(shí)更有畫面感，像是要開始一場(chǎng)期待已久的漫長(zhǎng)旅途。
embark on 的用法比較簡(jiǎn)單，它后面可以接表示旅途、冒險(xiǎn)類的名詞，也常接表示關(guān)系、計(jì)劃、項(xiàng)目、職業(yè)的詞。
比如我們?cè)诮榻B《流浪星球》的主要情節(jié)時(shí)就可以說(shuō)：
A team of ordinary people embark on a mission to save Earth.
電影主演之一屈楚蕭在社交媒體上發(fā)狀態(tài)時(shí)就說(shuō)：
On Chinese New Year's day, let's embark on the journey to save the Earth. （大年初一，讓我們踏上拯救地球的旅程。）
在面試中，介紹自己的經(jīng)歷時(shí)就可以用到 embark on。比如：
After graduation, I embarked on a master’s degree at Beijing Film Academy.
最后再來(lái)看兩個(gè)來(lái)自《經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)人》的例句：
The prime minister has embarked on a campaign against Israel's new public broadcasting corporation.（這里 embark on 后接的是 campaign）
When Vietnam and China embarked on reforms they were both young countries, with median ages of about 20. （這里 embark on 后接的是 reform）
3. 從認(rèn)識(shí)到會(huì)用（作業(yè)）
1）翻譯下面的句子：
他即將開始新的職業(yè)生涯，做一位硬核說(shuō)唱歌手。
He is about to embark on a new career as a hardcore rapper.
（參考翻譯：He is about to embark on a new career as a hardcore rapper.）
2）結(jié)合自己的生活、學(xué)習(xí)、工作、興趣等，想象在什么語(yǔ)境下會(huì)用到這個(gè)表達(dá)。先簡(jiǎn)要描述這個(gè)場(chǎng)景，再造句。
場(chǎng)景： 商業(yè)
造句：Tadashi Yanai, Uniqlo’s founder, admits that his brand has a better image abroad than in Japan. So on March 16th he opened his biggest-ever store in Ginza, Tokyo’s smartest street. He has done the same thing in New York, opening a big posh shop to give his clothes more allure. Now he wants to impress not only Japanese shoppers but Chinese ones, too. Like Inditex, the Spanish firm that owns the Zara brand, Mr Yanai is about to embark on a big business in Asia. He plans to open 100 stores in Asia(outside Japan)this year, rising to 200-300 annually in a few years’ time. His target is for Uniqlo to generate most of its revenues abroad within four years.
