Hi ChenbinVip,
2 w) ~1 J. g1 L; x/ J/ T
$ n9 K4 r+ {7 k. lI looked the phrase up in Freedictionary.com and came out empty-handed, too.
" R, o8 M, K9 h" K5 @) u. e/ i, g" \$ e
But 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?

That's why context is very important.
