修改后Don't worry, I'll pick you up from the airport.
Take 看起来也许合适,但它表示带某人同行,或把人送往某处。这里想表达去机场接人,take you from the airport 不够自然,应该用 pick up;代词要放在中间:pick you up。
描述语言或技能时,pick up 表示在接触中不知不觉学会:I picked up some French in Paris。如果主动开始一种新活动,可以用 take up:I took up yoga last year。
动手练习
My grandmother spoke Italian at home, so I ___ the language as a child without any lessons.
查看答案
picked up — Without any lessons 表明在家庭环境中自然学会了语言,所以是 picked up。Took up 则表示主动把学习意大利语作为一项新活动开始。
