“pick”的用法

'pick'的用法

有缘遇到你，每天说英语！大家好，我是曾老师，you can also call me James。

今天给大家讲讲Pick这个词的用法。

当动词讲，第一个意思是挑选，比如，Hey! Pick your favorite color,来吧，选个你最喜欢的颜色！

还有一个意思是拾取，通常理解为开车接人，比如，

I will pick you up at 8:00 pm at that coffee shop where we always meet. 晚上8点钟，我会在我们经常见面的咖啡店那儿接你。

还有一个比较隐藏的意思，是搭讪，调情的含义，I play guitar to pick up girls,我弹吉他不为了别的，只为泡妞！如今很多不擅长和女孩儿打交道的男人需要一些pick up artist的帮忙，pick up artist,泡妞专家，if you are too shy to meet girls, find a pick up artist to help youout,如果不会和女孩打交道，找个泡妞大师教教你吧；

大家都熟悉它的动词用法，却很少留意pick的形容词和名词的用法。Picky是pick的形容词形式， 表示挑剔，吹毛求疵的意思，比如，当忍不住劝你身边比较挑剔的单身贵族尽早脱单时，你可以说You will be single until death if being picky like this。你若这么挑剔下去，将孤独终老。

挑食，或吃东西比较矫情的表达，picky on food 。比如，Jane is picky on food, that’s why she is so skinny, Jane由于挑食，骨瘦如柴。Skin是皮肤，瘦得只剩下皮了就是skinny了。be picky 后面的on 别忘了加，表示挑剔的对象，be picky on something or something else.

Pick当名词讲， 有已做出的选择之意，常用短语take your pick, 随便选的意思，如，We have enough money to buy any car in the market , so take your pick! 我们足够土豪，市面上的车子随便挑。

还有，国人越来越喜欢美式皮卡，皮卡怎么说？pickup truck, 可以随时装卸货物的卡车，美国的农具车，国内喝油的豪车，比如，Hop in my pickup truck, let’s go for a ride !哥开皮卡带你兜风，还等什么呢？其中hop in 是跳到车里的意思，我们常说的“上车”，go for a ride的意思是兜风。

好啦，总结一下，

Pick当动词讲，

Hey! Pick your favorite color;

I will pick you up at 8:00 pm at that coffee shop where we always meet;
