嗯,live up to sth.----to do as well as or be as good as other people expect you to意思就是说“符合,达到,没有辜负(别人对你的期待/期望)”live up to your potential就可以理解为"你达到了你的水平"........举个例子吧,不知道你看过《盗梦空间》(Extractor)(这是大陆翻译版本)Leonardo Wilelm DiCaprio演的,里面有一段是那个日本人Saito从梦中梦醒来对Mr. Cobb说:"You have lived up to your reputation,Mr.Cobb"你果然不负盛名,Mr.Cobb.这里也可以说成"You have lived up to your potential"你果然能力很强...........或者是You have lived up to your potential judged by what you have done for you company。。。。。希望这个对你有帮助:-)
