一名法国行为艺术家费时三周顺利用体温孵出了小鸡，请看本报昨日的报道：

French artist Abraham Poincheval, who famously spent a week inside a rock and two weeks inside a bear sculpture, has succeeded in hatching chicken eggs after incubating them for some three weeks.

Poincheval embarked on his latest project in late March of imitating a mother hen by incubating some 10 eggs with his own body heat inside a glass vivarium at Paris’ Palais de Tokyo contemporary art museum.

At the time, he estimated it would take 21-26 days for the eggs to hatch and the first did so Tuesday. A spokeswoman for the museum said Thursday nine had hatched and the chicks were on their way to a farm.

报道中的embark on就是“开始、着手”。例如：
