Hi ChenbinVip,

I looked the phrase up in Freedictionary.com and came out empty-handed, too. s8 o v+ h# A" p( }/ ]1 T
/ s" V1 G+ }% f3 S; e' e; R
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? : _- s" }6 Y ~$ |' V
# n o7 z6 ]8 k( wThat's why context is very important.
