Traduzione e definizione

"Set up" significa anche "montare" o "erigere". Esempio: monterò l'armadio che ho comprato da Idea.
I'm still trying to set up this business. It's taking longer to establish than I expected. Sto ancora cercando di avviare questa attività. Ci sta volendo più tempo del previsto per metterla in piedi.
We have already set up a meeting. I organized it yesterday. Abbiamo già organizzato una riunione. L'ho organizzata ieri.
to set (someone) up: tendere una trappola (a qualcuno)
I can't believe my own mother set me up. I didn't think someone in my own family would ever deceive me. Non riesco a credere che mia madre stessa mi abbia teso una trappola. Non avrei mai pensato che qualcuno della mia famiglia potesse ingannarmi.

What does Bruno want Icarus to do? (There may be more than one correct answer!)
What does Bruno want Icarus to do? (There may be more than one correct answer!)
This statement is true. Bruno asks Icarus to "contact (the) company lawyer Bethany Belovin" and to send her the current Delavigne shareholder agreement.
This statement is false. Bruno never asks Icarus to read an article. He inquires if Icarus has read the article about Sylvio Mazerati in "Big Business Weekly", but this is unrelated.
This statement is true. After instructing him to contact the company lawyer, Bruno tells Icarus to "arrange a meeting for the three of us" (Bruno, Icarus and Bethany Belovin). "To set up (a meeting)" is to arrange or organize one.
This statement is false. Bruno tells Icarus to "send documents", not to "review" them! Although Icarus offers to "go over" (or review) the shareholder agreement with Bruno, Bruno insists that he needs legal counsel, and refuses Icarus' proposal.

This is a correct use of the expression "to set up". Here the expression describes "assembling" or "putting together" equipment or machinery. Note that we could also use the present perfect tense here: "I have just set up my new stereo system…".
This is the only sentence in which the expression is used incorrectly. The correct expression is "to set the table", which describes the act of preparing the table for eating (US: to set the table, UK: to lay the table).
This is a correct use of the term "to set up". In this context, Bruno "set up" or established his company in America after several years of travel.
This is a correct use of the term "set up". In the passive voice, "to BE set up (by the police)" means to be made to look guilty of something. Someone who has been "set up" has been made to look like he is guilty of a crime (for example).

1 taking over: To "take over (an account)" means to become the person in charge of "handling" or "taking responsibility for" that account. Note that the present participle is being used here, since this is an action that is happening at the time of writing.
2 key customers: "Key customers" are important or major clients. Odorama is regarded as a key customer to Delavigne because it buys a lot of Delavigne products. Philip is writing this letter because it is important to maintain good relations with these types of companies.
3 concerns: "(Odorama's) concerns" are problems or matters that relate to or affect the company. Example: My main concern is that I am not able to speak English. Philip wants to discuss Odorama's "needs and concerns" which are issues and problems that Odorama may have.
4 spoken highly: "To speak highly (of someone)" is to have a good opinion of them or to respect them. Example: My previous boss speaks very highly of me, if you don't believe me check my references. Philip writes that Luke "certainly spoke very highly of you" meaning that Luke told him that he had a good opinion of Ms. Mild. Note that "speak" is irregular verb: speak/spoke/spoken.
5 Accordingly: "Accordingly" shares a similar meaning with "therefore" or "so". Example: I hated insects when I was young and accordingly I used to pull the legs of spiders.
6 set up: "To set up (a meeting)" is to arrange or organize one, for example: I would like to set up an appointment with our suppliers for next week.

True or false? Jean asks Philip to set up his internet access at home.
True or false? Jean asks Philip to set up his internet access at home.
This statement is not true.
This is a false statement. Jean is a specialist in setting up internet access, technically. He needs help "filling out" the "forms". He says "the problem is the paperwork", which means that he is having difficulties with the written information which he needs to give to the internet service provider. Philip will simply help Jean with the forms, not set up the internet access.

This is not a correct use of "set up". To begin a journey or trip is better expressed using "set off". For example: "we set off at 5am this morning to avoid the traffic".
