文化背景
In Japanese business culture, 'paying for access' is a common concept through golf club memberships or high-end dinner meetings. This phrase reflects the reality that some doors only open with a significant financial key. It highlights the pragmatic side of Japanese social climbing.
Don't confuse with 'Precious'
If you want to say an opportunity is 'valuable' or 'precious' (not just expensive), use `貴重な機会` (kichou na kikai). `高い` only talks about the money.
Watch the Kanji
Be careful with `機会` (opportunity) vs `機械` (machine). Both are pronounced 'kikai.' If you write `高い機械`, you are saying 'expensive machine'!

What It Means
This phrase describes a chance or event that comes with a big price tag. It is not about how 'good' the chance is. It focuses strictly on the cost of entry. Imagine a very expensive business seminar or a luxury gala. If you have to pay a lot to be there, it is a 高い機会.
How To Use It
You use this phrase when discussing budgets or financial decisions. It functions like a standard noun phrase. You can say something 'is' a 高い機会 or you 'found' one. Keep it focused on the money aspect. It sounds very literal and direct to Japanese ears.
When To Use It
Use it when talking about high-end networking events. It fits well in business planning or luxury travel discussions. If you are debating whether a $1,000 ticket is worth it, this is your phrase. It is perfect for professional contexts where ROI (return on investment) matters. You might also use it when joking about an expensive hobby.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this if you mean 'a precious moment.' For emotional value, use 貴重な機会 instead. If you say 高い機会 about a sunset, people will think you paid for the view! Avoid using it for 'rare' things that are free. It specifically implies that yen or dollars are leaving your wallet.
Cultural Background
In Japan, networking often happens in high-end 'members only' clubs. These venues have massive entry fees. People see these as 'investments' in their future. While being humble is common, being realistic about costs is also a Japanese trait. High-cost opportunities are often viewed with a mix of respect and caution.
Common Variations
If you want to sound more sophisticated, use 高価な機会. If you want to emphasize the 'loss' of money, you might say コストのかかる機会. For a 'once in a lifetime' feel that is also expensive, you could combine it: 高価で貴重な機会. Most people just stick to 高い for daily conversation.
使用说明
This is a literal combination of 'expensive' and 'opportunity.' It is neutral in formality but can sound a bit blunt if used to describe someone else's invitation. Use it primarily when discussing costs or investments.
Don't confuse with 'Precious'
If you want to say an opportunity is 'valuable' or 'precious' (not just expensive), use `貴重な機会` (kichou na kikai). `高い` only talks about the money.
Watch the Kanji
Be careful with `機会` (opportunity) vs `機械` (machine). Both are pronounced 'kikai.' If you write `高い機械`, you are saying 'expensive machine'!
The 'Investment' Mindset
In Japan, calling something 'expensive' isn't always negative. It often implies that the quality is high and the networking will be superior.

常见问题
10 个问题Not necessarily. It only means it costs a lot of money. To say it's a 'good' opportunity, you should use 良い機会 (yoi kikai).
It's better to use 貴重な機会 (precious opportunity) in an interview. Calling it 'expensive' might sound like you're complaining about the travel costs!
No, you can also use 高価な (kouka na) for a more formal or elegant 'high-priced' feel.
No, 高い is for money. For an opportunity that takes a lot of time, use 時間のかかる機会 (jikan no kakaru kikai).
The opposite would be 安い機会 (yasui kikai), meaning a cheap opportunity, though this is less commonly used.
It can be a bit blunt. If you're a guest, it's more polite to focus on the value by saying 素晴らしい機会 (subarashii kikai).
The Japanese idiom for that is 一期一会 (ichi-go ichi-e), which is much more poetic than just saying it's expensive.
Not really. Textbooks usually teach 貴重な (precious). 高い機会 is a literal collocation you'll hear in real-life budget talks.
No, in the context of 機会 (opportunity), 高い always refers to the price or level of cost.
Neither. 高い is an i-adjective, so it connects directly to the noun: 高い機会.
