(=correct it)如果我犯了错，那么由我负责改正。eg: I appreciate that she offers to tidy my desk for me, but I always end up having to set it right afterwards.她提出要替我整理我的书桌，我挺感激的。但是每次她收拾完我都得再调整一遍。eg: When it became apparent that the two teams were really lopsided, the gym teacher shuffled some kids around to set it right.当两支队伍实力明显出现悬殊，体育老师调换了一些孩子使得两支队伍实力均衡。eg: I know I said some things I shouldn't have, so I'm here to set things right between us.我知道我说了一些本不应该说的话，所以我来了，想对我们的关系做一些弥补。eg: I'm sorry that we overcharged you.
