setting yourself up for
问题描述：
setting yourself up for
请分析一下.
我看不出这里的短语在哪.
答
【set sb up for】
to put someone in a position in which they are able to do something,or in which something is likely to happen to them
就是说,如果是set A for B 就是
让A置身于这样的一种处境之下：(1)A在这种情况下能够做B事,或者(2)B事很有可能发生.
（出处：Longman）例句
If he won the fight,it would set him up for a title shot.他要是赢了,够让他上头条了.
setting yourself up for loss 将你自己置身于有可能遭受损失的情况下.
也就是【让你自己面临损失的风险】
