两者都意为”着手做某事”,只是后面接词形不同。前者后面接不定式,后者接动名词。
1)set about意为“开始;着手”, about为介词。例如:
As soon as she got home,she set about preparing lunch.她一到家就开始准备午饭。
2)set out to do sth.=set about doing sth.意为“着手、开始做某事”;set out for...=set off for...=leave for...意为“动身去……”;出发去……”。例如:
At five in the morning he set out to do(set about doing)his work.清晨五点他就开始工作。
Early in the morning he set out(set off)for Beijing.他一清早就动身去北京了。
