What does "have a lot to live up to" mean?Thank you!
It means that people have high expectations of someone.
"His father was a brilliant scientist, so he had a lot to live up to."
That means because the boy's father was a brilliant scientist, people expect the boy to also be brilliant. He has a lot to live up to, he has to prove that he is also brilliant.
