get the picture  get the picture 可不是得到一幅画的意思,它真正的含义是“理解了形势”,尤其是用在某人正在向你描述形势时的场景。例如这段对话,“I pretended that I hadn't heard.” "I get the picture." "我假装我没有听说过。" "我明白了。"  in/out of the picture  这个短语也并非表示"处在或脱离画中",而是指陷入或脱离形势,由此可见此picture与上面get the picture 中的picture有相同含义,大家可以合并在一起进行记忆。举个例句,"Morris is likely to win, with jones out of the picture now." "Morris很有可能获胜,而jones形势不佳。
