Ví dụ
Since the boss couldn’t attend (tham dự) the conference, he sent Elaine, his most trusted (tin cẩn) assistant. He knew his right hand would do an excellent job of representing his interests (lợi ích).

My law firm (công ty luật) was never the same after my partner (cộng sự viên) passed away. He was my right-hand, working closely (sát cánh) with me for over thirty years. No one could ever replace (thay thế) him.

Osborne's right hand man blasts Tories for 'pandering' (cố thỏa mãn, chạy theo thị hiếu) to Ukip and seeking 'austerity (thắt lưng buộc bụng) for ever': The Chief Secretary to the Treasury is the latest senior Liberal Democrat to blast the party's coalition (liên minh) Government partners ahead of the 2015 General Election next May. "Who would have thought that of the two parties that formed the Coalition, it would be the Tories who would be blown off (thổi bay) course (quá trình diễn biến)?".

SS captain Alois Brunner was Adolf Eichmann’s right-hand man and the person single-handedly responsible for the death of 128,000 Jews during the Second World War. After it ended he found refuge (nơi ẩn náu) in Syria, and it now emerges that he probably died there in 2010, at the age of 98. Nazi hunter Efraim Zuroff, the director of the Jerusalem office of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, says that Brunner’s choice of asylum (nơi ẩn nấp) saved his life.
