【适用场合】
今天说到的这个to get the ball rolling并不是字面意思的理解，
不要直接翻译成：让球滚起来；
而指的是开始的意思：to set something, often a process, in motion; to begin.
大家知道有些体育项目或者游戏中，是需要要保持ball一直滚动的，所以由此引申了新的意思和用法。
这个动词短语当中的动词，也可以换成keep，或者set，start，都可以表达一个意思。
to get the ball rolling
to keep the ball rolling
to set the ball rolling
to start the ball rolling
eg: I had the ball rolling, but no one helped me with the project.
我起了头儿，但是没人帮我做这个项目。
eg: I just want enough cash to start the ball rolling.
我就想要足够的现金启动项目。
eg: Let's get the ball rolling by putting up some posters.
我们从张贴海报开始吧。
eg: At the meeting, she tried to get the ball rolling by asking a few questions.
在会议上，她设法通过提问一些问题来开始。
其实口语里面我们也可以说：get the show on the road；或者更简单：get started!
If you get the show on the road, you put a plan or idea into action.
或者start an activity or a journey, especially one that needs a lot of organization
把一项计划、想法付诸实际；开始做某事；
eg: After months of training, the astronauts were eager to get the show on the road.
几个月的训练之后，这些宇航员们摩拳擦掌，准备大显身手。
