通常用法：get off to a good start，表示「有好的開端；開門紅；順利開始」，英文解釋為「to begin an activity successfully」舉個🌰：

I didn't get off to a very good start this morning - I'd been at work five minutes and my computer stopped working!

我今天上午剛一開始工作就不順——才做了5分鐘，電腦就死機了！

Lay Zhang is a Chinese singer-songwriter who is part of the Korean-Chinese K-pop group Exo. He was officially invited to the 61st Grammy Awards as an ambassador of FM Donggan 101. The invitation was announced by China Music Vision, a Chinese partner of the The Recording Academy for GRAMMY-branded entertainment and educational initiatives. On the red carpet, Zhang kept his look simple, rocking all black and a delicate piece of jewelry ahead of the award show. Ahead of the event, Zhang posted a photo of his outfit on his personal Instagram account and wrote, "Excited for the #grammys."

熟詞僻義，表示「因穿戴而顯得好看（或時髦）」，英文解釋為「to wear a particular style of clothing, etc. and look good or fashionable」舉個🌰：

There are celebrities over 40 years old who can still rock a tattoo.

有的名人已經40多歲了，但是刺上一個紋身依然顯得時髦。

Asked what it would mean to him to one day be able to perform at the event, he replies that even though he might speak a different language, it would mean a great deal to him. 「We can use music [as] communication,」 he says. 「To get a lot of friendship. So I think here is a very amazing place, and my dream stage.」
