When you want to say that you are setting off or departing, you can use 动身 (dòng shēn). It's a useful verb for talking about when you plan to start a journey or leave a place. Think of it like saying you're 'getting moving' on your trip. It's often used when you're talking about the beginning of a travel plan.
When using 动身 (dòng shēn), it usually implies setting off on a journey, trip, or even just leaving one place to go to another. It's often used when there's an anticipated departure or a plan to start moving. You can think of it as getting ready to 'set one's body in motion' for a destination. It's more formal than just saying 'to leave' (离开) and suggests a more purposeful departure. For example, if you're going on a business trip or vacation, you would use 动身.

Use 动身 when talking about the beginning of a journey, often implying a planned departure. It's more formal than just saying 'go' or 'leave.'
我们明天早上八点动身去机场. (We will set off for the airport at 8 AM tomorrow morning.)
It can be used with a destination following, or stand alone if the destination is understood from context.
他已经动身去北京了. (He has already departed for Beijing.)
动身 usually refers to a person or a group of people setting off, not typically for objects or vehicles starting their journey.
火车几点动身？(Incorrect use for a train. Use 发车 (fāchē) for a train departing.)
It's often used with time expressions to indicate when the departure will happen.
我们什么时候动身？ (When are we setting off?)
While similar to '出发' (chūfā), 动身 often emphasizes the initial action of starting to move, whereas 出发 can also refer to the general act of departing.
大家准备好了吗？我们该动身了. (Is everyone ready? We should set off now.)

اغلب اشتباه گرفته میشود با
General departure, can be for people, vehicles, or even events. Less emphasis on the physical movement of a person compared to 动身.
To leave a place or person, focusing on separation rather than the act of setting off.
More formal or literary, often for longer or significant journeys. Similar to 动身 but with a slightly different nuance.
بهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Both mean 'to set off' or 'to depart'.
Both are verbs that indicate starting a journey. 动身 (dòngshēn) often implies the literal movement of the body, like getting up and leaving. 出发 (chūfā) is more general and can refer to the start of any kind of journey or departure, even for things like a team or an event. You can say '我们动身去机场' (Wǒmen dòngshēn qù jīchǎng - We set off for the airport), focusing on the act of getting up and moving. You can also say '我们出发去机场' (Wǒmen chūfā qù jīchǎng), which simply means we departed for the airport. However, for a train or a bus, you would typically use 出发, like '火车出发了' (Huǒchē chūfā le - The train departed), because a train doesn't 'move its body' in the same way a person does. Also, 出发 can be used for things like '项目出发点' (xiàngmù chūfādiǎn - the starting point of the project), where 动身 wouldn't fit.
我们明天早上八点[出发/动身]去上海。 (Wǒmen míngtiān zǎoshang bā diǎn [chūfā/dòngshēn] qù Shànghǎi.) - We will set off for Shanghai at 8 AM tomorrow morning.
Both mean 'to leave'.
动身 (dòngshēn) emphasizes the act of starting to move or depart. 离开 (líkāi) focuses on the separation from a place or person. You '动身' to go somewhere, but you '离开' a place or person. For instance, '他动身去北京' (Tā dòngshēn qù Běijīng - He set off for Beijing) versus '他离开了家' (Tā líkāi le jiā - He left home). You can say '他动身了' (Tā dòngshēn le - He set off), implying he's started his journey. If you say '他离开了' (Tā líkāi le - He left), it just means he's no longer there.
他已经[动身]前往机场了，很快就会[离开]这座城市。 (Tā yǐjīng [dòngshēn] qiánwǎng jīchǎng le, hěn kuài jiù huì [líkāi] zhè zuò chéngshì.) - He has already set off for the airport and will soon leave this city.
Both mean 'to set off' or 'to start a journey'.
动身 (dòngshēn) is more common in everyday speech and refers to the physical act of getting ready to leave. 启程 (qǐchéng) is slightly more formal or literary and often implies the beginning of a longer or more significant journey. It's often used for trips, voyages, or expeditions. You might hear '远征队启程了' (Yuǎnzhēngduì qǐchéng le - The expedition team set off), but less commonly '远征队动身了'.
明天我们将[启程/动身]去欧洲旅行。 (Míngtiān wǒmen jiāng [qǐchéng/dòngshēn] qù Ōuzhōu lǚxíng.) - Tomorrow we will set off for a trip to Europe.
Both contain '动' (dòng - to move) and relate to starting something.
动身 (dòngshēn) is about a person or people physically moving or departing. 动工 (dònggōng) means to start a construction project or work. You would never use 动身 for starting construction, nor 动工 for departing.
工程队明天将正式[动工]，我们也要[动身]去工地看看。 (Gōngchéngduì míngtiān jiāng zhèngshì [dònggōng], wǒmen yě yào [dòngshēn] qù gōngdì kànkan.) - The construction team will officially start work tomorrow, and we also need to set off to the construction site to take a look.
Both contain '动' (dòng - to move) and imply initiating action.
动身 (dòngshēn) is personal departure. 动员 (dòngyuán) means to mobilize or arouse. It's about getting people organized and motivated for a task or a cause, often on a larger scale. For example, '动员大家一起参加' (dòngyuán dàjiā yīqǐ cānjiā - mobilize everyone to participate together). You wouldn't use 动身 in this context.
老板[动员]大家积极参与，然后我们才[动身]去会场。 (Lǎobǎn [dòngyuán] dàjiā jījí cānyù, rán hòu wǒmen cái [dòngshēn] qù huìchǎng.) - The boss mobilized everyone to actively participate, and then we set off for the venue.
ریشه کلمه
Composed of two characters: 动 (dòng) meaning 'to move' or 'to act,' and 身 (shēn) meaning 'body' or 'self.'
معنای اصلی: The literal combination 'move body' directly conveys the meaning of starting a journey or making a move.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic languages, Chinese.بافت فرهنگی
In Chinese culture, the act of '动身' often carries a sense of anticipation or farewell, especially for longer journeys. It can be used in formal announcements for travel or in more casual settings when someone is simply preparing to leave a place.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالBoth 动身 (dòng shēn) and 出发 (chū fā) mean 'to set off' or 'to depart.' However, 动身 (dòng shēn) often implies a more personal or individual departure, like leaving home for a trip. 出发 (chū fā) is more general and can refer to any kind of departure, whether it's a person, a vehicle, or a group. For example, you can say 飞机出发了 (fēi jī chū fā le - The plane departed), but you wouldn't typically say 飞机动身了 (fēi jī dòng shēn le).
Yes, absolutely! 动身 (dòng shēn) means to 'set off' or 'depart,' which inherently implies starting a journey. For example, 咱们明天早上八点动身吧。(Zán men míng tiān zǎo shàng bā diǎn dòng shēn ba. - Let's set off tomorrow morning at 8 AM.)
动身 (dòng shēn) is generally considered a neutral term, suitable for both formal and informal contexts. It's not overly formal or overly casual.
Yes, a common collocation is 动身前往 (dòng shēn qián wǎng), which means 'to set off for' a particular destination. For instance, 他明天动身前往上海。(Tā míng tiān dòng shēn qián wǎng Shànghǎi. - He will set off for Shanghai tomorrow.) You can also see it with time expressions, like 早上动身 (zǎo shàng dòng shēn - set off in the morning).
No, 动身 (dòng shēn) is primarily used for people or sometimes groups of people. For inanimate objects like trains or planes, you would use 出发 (chū fā) or 启程 (qǐ chéng).
Not necessarily. While it often implies a journey, it doesn't have to be a long one. It simply means to begin moving from a place. It could be for a short trip or a longer one.
You can ask: 你什么时候动身？ (Nǐ shénme shíhou dòng shēn? - When are you setting off?) Or, if you want to be more specific about the destination: 你什么时候动身去北京？ (Nǐ shénme shíhou dòng shēn qù Běijīng? - When are you setting off for Beijing?)
动 (dòng) means 'to move' or 'to stir,' and 身 (shēn) refers to 'body' or 'self.' So, literally, it means 'to move one's body' in the sense of starting to leave or depart. It's a very straightforward and practical combination of characters.
While its primary use is literal, in some contexts, it can have a slightly figurative sense of 'getting going' or 'taking action' to start a process, but this is less common than its literal meaning of physical departure. Stick to the literal meaning for now to avoid confusion.
It would sound unnatural if you used it for things that don't 'move their body' in the sense of a person leaving. For example, don't say 电话动身了 (diàn huà dòng shēn le - The phone departed) or 考试动身了 (kǎo shì dòng shēn le - The exam departed). Always remember it's about a person or a group of people physically setting off.
