輕鬆日記商務職場篇 第200期:請教

核心句型：
Do you mind if I pick your brains?
你介意我向你請教嗎？
pick someone's brain 直譯過來就是：“摘掉某人的腦袋”，這個短語的正確意思是：“向別人學習和討教，在解決問題中採用某人的想法”。因此，當美國人說"Do you mind if I pick your brains?"時，他/她要表達的意思就是:"Can I ask you some questions?"、"Would you mind if I consult you about something?"、"May I seek some information from you?"。
情景對白：
Colleague:I have some problems with my work. Do you mind if I pick your brains?
