- can't climb socially
- unable to claim higher class connections
Seems to me from M and J that it doesn't mean either of these things.

M ~ 能力或地位較低,故無法與身分地位較高的人交往或聯姻。
如:「她系出名門,我恐怕高攀不上。」

J ~ The rich were out of her reach and the poor were beneath her contempt.
富人她高攀不上,穷人她看不起。

"Mademoiselle Danglars is too rich for me," replied Morcerf, "and that frightens me."
“腾格拉尔小姐太有钱了,我可高攀不上,“马尔塞夫回答说,“所以我有些胆怯。”
