轻松日记商务职场篇 第200期:请教

核心句型：
Do you mind if I pick your brains?
你介意我向你请教吗？
pick someone's brain 直译过来就是：“摘掉某人的脑袋”，这个短语的正确意思是：“向别人学习和讨教，在解决问题中采用某人的想法”。因此，当美国人说"Do you mind if I pick your brains?"时，他/她要表达的意思就是:"Can I ask you some questions?"、"Would you mind if I consult you about something?"、"May I seek some information from you?"。
情景对白：
Colleague:I have some problems with my work. Do you mind if I pick your brains?
