✔ 最佳答案
kick into gear是引用自汽車機械運作變速器的「入波」或「入檔」後汽車才會駛動來表達一件事已經開始運行。不是SPEED UP，只是指「開始進行」或「開展中」的意思。

kick into gear = get / click into gear
Meaning: (idiomatic expression) to start working effectively or making progress
e.g. Her electoral campaign is finally getting into gear.
e.g. Suddenly my brain clicked into gear and I realized what was happening.
