Hi ChenbinVip, + u _0 P" Y( D4 L* z
8 _- P0 P; x9 C2 _I looked the phrase up in Freedictionary.com and came out empty-handed, too.
$ ?: z1 w* G# p# A, C
6 ?1 u. D; m7 Q6 v, F7 p& }, T. rBut the idea in these two statements is very clear in and of itself, isn't it? Here a few other words or phrases can take the place of "pick up" without chaning its meaning, like "see, witness" or "gain" or even "harvest", but maybe "pick up" is a bit more vivid because it conjours up the image of a snowplough at work. Don't you think so?
, Y6 ~1 k5 M$ z, q, k0 `" O
" @7 y( U1 F$ ?2 f r+ O" v& uThat's why context is very important. % v9 v6 C! x+ Q O. W: p
8 `% h2 |: ~( C& l" J% MHope this helps.
