Hi ChenbinVip,
) k4 p+ P) r O, l( d# t
5 B4 Q* Z$ X% q; j! T# E( kI looked the phrase up in Freedictionary.com and came out empty-handed, too.

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? ! D/ @8 ?; V Y+ i( X! I9 c
}: i. A; K. ?
That's why context is very important.
