俗话说多一个朋友多一条路，人脉广了好办事儿。你知道在英语里面怎么说“人脉”，怎么表达“人脉广”吗？

人脉对应的单词是connection。

如果要表达“我人脉很广”，就可以这么说：I have a lot of connections.

除此之外，还有一种表达方式：well-connected。I have a lot of connections.= I'm well-connected.

来看下柯林斯词典对这个词的英文解释：Someone who is well-connected has important or influential relatives or friends.也就是说有非常厉害的亲戚或者朋友，有非常优越的社会关系。那就是人脉很广啦。

比如：He's not universally loved in Hollywood but they are well-connected.他在好莱坞并不普遍受人爱戴，但他人脉很广（有着良好的社会关系）。

有人说，找工作时，What really counts is not what you know, but who you know（重要的不是你是谁，而是你认识谁）。你同意吗？
