109. I also know the pressures of trying to live up to a reputation created by previous victories.
译文
我也知道，要维护从前的成功所带来的声望需要承受多么大的压力。
点睛
本句的主干是I know the pressures。“pressure＋of＋动名词”是一种常用结构，表示“……的压力”。
live up to意为“达到预期标准，不辜负……的期望”。如：
We will never fail to live up to what our parents expect of us. 我们决不辜负父母对我们的期望。
reputation意为“声誉，声望”。previous的意思是“之前的”。
考点归纳
与of相关，且与动名词连用的常用句式。
“idea/method/habit/purpose＋of＋动名词”，表示“……的想法／方法／习惯／目的”。如：
She has the bad habit of reading in bed. 她有躺在床上看书的坏习惯。
“way/pleasure/time/chance/plan/power/pressure＋of＋动名词”，该种形式等同于“way/pleasure/time/chance/plan/power/pressure＋to＋动词原形”。如：
I had no chance of telling him the truth. 相当于I had no chance to tell him the truth. 我没有机会告诉他真相。
