A useful picture for come up is something rising out of where you could not see it and into the open, the way the sun comes up over the hills. Before, it was below or out of sight; now it is there in front of you. Much of what come up does is this one movement with different things doing the rising: a plant, a problem, a subject, a job. A second, closer picture sits beside it, where the thing that moves is a person the distance to you.

come up 的核心畫面可以想成:原本在下面、在看不見的地方的東西,升上來進到你眼前——太陽從山那邊 come up。之前它不在視線裡,現在就在那裡了。come up 的大半用法都是這一個動作,只是上升的東西換了:一株植物、一個問題、一個話題、一個職缺。另外還有一個靠得比較近的畫面擺在旁邊:動的是人,他把跟你之間的距離一路縮到面前。
