Translate a sentence I saw a sentence today. It's " He is not off to a very good start". I looked into the dictionary and found the meaning was "不是一个良好的开端". But I wonder if it can be translated as “他真是出师不利啊”。

Yes, 出师不利 is a good equivalent to "not off to a good start". See this link for more examples: http://www.jukuu.com/search.php?q=%E5%87%BA%E5%B8%88%E4%B8%8D%E5%88%A9+
