Set someone up: To deceive someone so that they fall victim to something or To make it look like someone is guilty of some crime or wrongdoing(陷害某人,诬陷某人,栽赃某人)


中文释义:Set up 这个词组常见意思是安装(They set up the sound system last night. 他们昨晚安装了音响系统)、建立(They set up a new charity for the homeless.他们为流浪者建立了一个新的基金会)等,一般是set up sth/set sth up。但是这个动词词组的宾语也可以是人,此时可以用来表示设局陷害。另外引申: frame sb. for sth“陷害某人某事”; plant sth. on sb“把某事栽赃给某人”。
