你弟弟是不是發(fā)跡了？他過去地位十分卑微，現(xiàn)在當(dāng)了政府官員的顧問，是左右社會的人物了！ Hasn't your brother gone up in the world! He used to have such a low position, and now he's advising government officials and leading society!
他盡管出身卑微，不是與該國這個地區(qū)的高貴人物有密切的交往。 In spite of his humble origin, he is well in with the finest people in this part of the country.
