Hi ChenbinVip,
" S$ h# v" f8 E6 v- O
, e/ H1 h* _2 W+ K6 H/ LI looked the phrase up in Freedictionary.com and came out empty-handed, too.
3 a) k1 V' [7 T, H% Z' d; k. t
3 O. O' m' q$ w7 sBut 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? $ q! A) b. n6 T+ I& a3 U# F" C
/ Z& I6 z: B% j, R* j+ v
That's why context is very important.
% S% H9 A0 T& O: b }; {5 [9 v6 U5 o9 n
Hope this helps.
" c0 z+ ] E" @8 l& }: T/ |+ R( K- W V( d
