Rob 我有个问题：你是不是有一位住在山顶上的朋友？
Rob

Feifei
山上有些湖泊吗英语怎么读，What about a friend who lives in La Paz – one of the highest cities in the world?
Rob
Strange question but no.
Feifei
OK. 那有没有住在楼房顶楼的朋友？
Rob
Definitely not. Why are you asking about my friends anyway?
Feifei
咱们同事告诉我说你有“朋友住在高处 friends in high places”。我就是不理解“有住在高处的朋友”对你有什么好处？
Rob
Feifei
啊，原来如此。表达“friends in high places”的意思是“身居高位并愿意用自己的影响力帮朋友一把的人”。 So they're useful people to know then?
Rob
They certainly are. Let's hear some examples of other friends in high places.
Examples
