n.|beginning/threshold/opening/conception/origin;開始;開端
outset(名詞)指某事物開始的部分或初始階段,常用于強調某一過程、事件或狀态的起點,常見搭配為 at the outset(在開始時)或 from the outset(從一開始)。例如:“The project faced challenges from the outset”(該項目從一開始就面臨挑戰)。
該詞由“out-”(向外)和“set”(設定)組成,字面含義為“設定向外延伸的起點”,引申為“開端”。相較于近義詞beginning,outset 更強調明确的起始界限,多用于正式語境,如法律條款、學術論述或項目管理場景,例如:“The contract clarified responsibilities at the outset”(合同在初始階段明确了責任)。
權威詞典如《牛津高階英漢雙解詞典》将其定義為“the time at which something begins”,并指出其常用于強調初始階段的決定性作用。在語料庫中,outset 多與規劃、讨論或問題相關聯,暗示後續發展受起點影響。例如:“A clear goal was established at the outset”(目标從一開始就明确設定)。
