看美剧学英语习语：Pick sb's brain
Pick sb's brain: to ask someone who knows a lot about a subject for information or their opinion; ask someone's advice about a subject the person knows a lot about; to gather information or ideas from someone who is presumably more expert or more imaginative. e.g. Can I pick your brain about how you got rid of those weeds?中文释义：“pick”有摘取，选择的意思，而“brain”有智慧的意思，“pick sb's brain，选择他人的智慧”延伸过来就是“听取他人的建议”。在美国，pick sb's brain是非常普遍的一种现象，因为美国人喜欢各述己见，进行辩论，然后看看谁的意见更合理。不管世界其他地方上或是在美国发生了什么事，电台和电视台都会请一些专家来谈谈他们对问题的看法，这实际上也是to pick their brains。
例句：He is smart, because he always picks other's brains.（他很聪明，因为他总是听取其他人的意见。）
