情景對話：
A: I find Tom is a little slow in the uptake.
我發現湯姆反應有點遲鈍。
B: Why do you say that?
為什么這樣說呢？
A: I have explained the same question several times, but he just couldn't understand.
同一個問題我給他解釋好幾遍，可他就是理解不了。
詞海拾貝：
slow in the uptake：理解得慢，反應慢，領會得慢
e.g. I must be slow in the uptake: country folk's brains don't work as fast as yours.
我的腦筋笨，鄉下人的腦筋沒有你們那樣靈活。（現代小說）
e.g. Robert is so slow in the uptake because you have to tell him everything ten times before he gets it right.
羅伯特領會得很慢，你得每件事給他講１０遍，他才能搞清楚。
