你在帮他？

You helped him?

youdao

当他人身处困境的时候，你主动帮助他渡过难关，你就是在支持他，或者你不会想到，你在支持他人的时候 ，你也在帮助你自己 ， 拒绝对他人施以援手，其实也是拒绝帮助自己。

you support someone when you willingly step forward to help him through a challengning time , yet the great irony is that when you support others , you are also , in fact , supporting yourself .

youdao

但是你是真的在帮助他吗？

But are you really doing him any favors?

youdao

So you'd have a patron who would be higher class, richer, more powerful, have some political power, and you would be loyal to your patron, and your patron would then represent you in court, try to get you jobs, try to get you more business, do all the kinds of things that patrons do for their clients.

要找个比你社会地位高，比你有钱有权，有一定政治影响力的庇护人，你也要忠诚于他，庇护人会在法庭上代表你，帮你找工作，帮你介绍生意，各种庇护人为被庇护人做的事。
