pick-up - 走揚跡象 

Manufacturers are hoping to see a pick-up by the third quarter of this year.
產業期待今年的第三季的生意，能見到走揚跡象。

如果新聞報導指出某個公司或行業「hopes to see a pick-up」，雖然沒有提「business」，但是意思當然就是指生意。

【原文 新聞內容】

Dell Computer Corp. on Tuesday said it had not seen a pick-up in demand for personal computers but its results in the current quarter were on track as it holds down costs and captures market share from competitors. 
Apple Computer Inc. last month lowered its guidance due to weak demand, while chip maker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. has warned twice in the past month of low revenue. Rollins said Dell has seen no rebound in PC demand but has continued to gain market share.
