pick their brains
NY Yankeesの田中投手がAll Starに選ばれました。
Pick one's brain「知恵を借りる」は、アメリカの若者の中にはCan I pick your brain？などと手助けを求めるときに使う人がいます。以前、NZでこれを使ったら怪訝な顔をされたことがあります。イメージが悪いからでしょう。日本人にはpassive vaocabのままでよいのかな？（UG）
Jeter, Tanaka, Betances named to All-Star team
TANAKA (through an interpreter)
On whether he’ll go even if he doesn’t pitch: “It’s obviously an event that not everybody can be a part of. I’m very excited to get this opportunity.”
On what he’s expecting: “Obviously I’m looking forward to it. To be part of it and to be able to meet with some of the best pitchers in the major leagues, that’s going to be a great experience for me. If there’s a chance, I’d definitely like to be able to talk with some of them and maybe pick their brains.”
On being voted by the players: “I think getting votes from the guys that you’re actually facing, that’s probably one of the best compliments that I can get.”
