看绝望的主妇学英语高频短语：Kick off
Kick off: To begin or mark the start of something, such as an event, a series, or a period of time. In this usage, a noun of pronoun can be used between “kick” and “off.”If a game of football kicks off, it starts. As in Within weeks of the cease-fire last summer, the national election season kicked off.
中文释义：kick off源自于足球，指开球，发球的意思。后来，这个足球术语逐渐引入到商业中，引申为“开始做某事；正式开始”的意思（可以表示比赛、活动、会议等开始）。所以有kick-off meeting （“项目启动会”）；kick-off party （“项目启动聚会”），动词短语kick off还有一个名词形式kickoff,两者意思相同。例句：Candidates kick off their campaigns with a speech.（竞选官职的候选人往往以发表讲话来开始竞选活动。）
