Picking

选择(picking a candidate);采摘(apple picking);捡起(picking up the phone);挑剔(picking at food)。名词 cherry picking 精选有利数据。

  1. “She spent the morning picking strawberries on the farm.” (她上午在农场摘草莓。)
  2. “We are picking the best three proposals for the next round.” (我们正挑选三份最佳方案进入下一轮。)
  3. “He kept picking at the label on his water bottle.” (他不停抠水瓶上的标签。)

可能源自古英语 pician 或北欧语,与“用尖物挑、选”的动作相关,具体词源学者仍有讨论。

pick + -ing;短语 pick up 与 picking up 高频。

电商 picking orders 仓库拣货;音乐 picking a guitar 拨弦。口语 picky 挑剔由 pick 衍生语感。

  • 固定搭配: “picking up” (捡起/接人/学会), “cherry-picking” (挑有利的), “order picking” (拣货)
  • 原形: pick;过去式: picked

pick 像“用尖挑出来”,-ing 是“正在挑/正在摘”。
