Subject: Как переводится "состояться в жизни". Хэлп! не могу найти перевод(((((, очень нужно))))))))).
|
to make the way in the world |
Вариант: achieve self-fulfilment |
prove your worth in this life/world |
sb is an accomplished man, to be accomplished in life imho |
+ to accomplish one's goals in life |
In British English это будет 'to have arrived'. Example: When my poor parents bought a poxy Nissan Micra, they thought they have arrived... |
Забыла сказать, что 'to have arrived' - это только разговорный вариант. |

Olya X - точно, я тоже слышала |
Agreed arrive: 7success somebody has arrived used to say that someone has become successful or famous: When he saw his name painted on the door he knew he'd arrived! |
выражение безусловно имеет право на жизнь, но ведь в жизни (сори за тавтологию) можно по разному состояться, а так несколько однобоко получается "to be accomplished in life" or smth like that is the most general here, methinks |
