Question

inaugurate v.举行就职典礼；举行仪式；开始；开创 (1) 克林顿就职美国总统。(2) 市长主持了市图书馆的落成仪式。(3) 瓦特开创了蒸汽时代。 Inaugurate comes from the Latin word augur, which means taking signs from birds, or telling the future. The Romans would always look for good omens to mark the beginning of something––a war, or a new emperor’s reign––so inaugurate became linked to new beginnings. While inaugurate has long been used in formal contexts, such as the swearing-in ceremony that inaugurates a President's term in office, inaugurate is now also used casually. You might inaugurate your marathon training with a long run.
