109. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories.
譯文
我也知道，要維護從前的成功所帶來的聲望需要承受多么大的壓力。
點睛
本句的主干是I know the pressures。“pressure＋of＋動名詞”是一種常用結構，表示“……的壓力”。
live up to意為“達到預期標準，不辜負……的期望”。如：
We will never fail to live up to what our parents expect of us. 我們決不辜負父母對我們的期望。
reputation意為“聲譽，聲望”。previous的意思是“之前的”。
考點歸納
與of相關，且與動名詞連用的常用句式。
“idea/method/habit/purpose＋of＋動名詞”，表示“……的想法／方法／習慣／目的”。如：
She has the bad habit of reading in bed. 她有躺在床上看書的壞習慣。
“way/pleasure/time/chance/plan/power/pressure＋of＋動名詞”，該種形式等同于“way/pleasure/time/chance/plan/power/pressure＋to＋動詞原形”。如：
I had no chance of telling him the truth. 相當于I had no chance to tell him the truth. 我沒有機會告訴他真相。
