來把人或東西帶走
這一家最貼近核心畫面，幾乎沒有變形：有人到某個地點，把人或東西拿起來帶走。一個是這件事本身，一個是做這件事的車。
noun · B1
An occasion, time or arrangement when someone or something is collected from a place — a person being fetched by car, or goods and rubbish being taken away.
接送／收取
核心畫面
You can think of pick-up as the everyday act of picking something up, frozen into a noun: a hand reaches out, takes hold, and carries the thing away. Three small movements sit inside that picture — reaching, lifting, taking away — and the different meanings each keep one of them. Keep 'coming to take it away' and you get the collection, and the small open-backed truck that does the carrying. Keep the lifting and you get things rising: sales rising again, a car lifting its speed. Keep the reaching-and-catching and you get the guitar part that catches the sound of the strings.
pick-up 可以想成把「伸手把東西拿起來帶走」這個動作凍成一個名詞。畫面裡有三個小動作：手伸出去、抓住、帶走。不…更多收起
pick-up 可以想成把「伸手把東西拿起來帶走」這個動作凍成一個名詞。畫面裡有三個小動作：手伸出去、抓住、帶走。不同的意思，各自留下其中一段。留下「來把它帶走」，就得到接送、收運，還有那台專門載東西走的小貨車。留下「往上抬」，就得到往上走的感覺：生意回升、車子提速。留下「伸手接住」，就得到吉他上那個把弦的聲音接下來的零件。Four branches
往上抬起來
把東西拿起來的動作裡，本來就含著「往上」那一段——手一抬，東西離地。把這一段單獨抽出來，就得到這一家：原本低低趴著的數字被抬起來，原本慢慢走的車被抬到快。
noun · B2
A rise or improvement in something such as sales, spending, trade or the economy — a change that is good for business, usually after a slow or weak time.
回升／好轉
把聲音撿起來
這一家把「伸手接住」用在看不見的東西上：接的不是箱子，是弦的震動。
noun · B2
An electronic part on a musical instrument, especially an electric guitar, that takes the sound of the strings and turns it into a signal so it can be made louder.
拾音器
當晚搭上的人
pick someone up 是「搭訕、把人帶走」，這一家指的就是被帶走的那個人。同樣的隨手拿起畫面，一旦用在人身上，味道就變得不客氣了。
noun · C1
A person you did not know before, met at a bar, a party or a similar place, and had sex with. The word names the person by that one meeting.
當晚認識的性伴侶
