"Have the world at your feet" nghĩa là gì?

'Have the world at your feet' nghĩa là thành công vang dội và được nhiều người mến mộ.
Ví dụ
I had such a solid record (kỷ lục) [8-0, 7KOs]. You have the world at your feet in a way and then — ‘boom!’ — knocked out by a guy whose record was…shocking (đáng kinh ngạc). My whole world shattered down (tan tành) around me.
In my mother’s words: If you are still alive, you have the world at your feet. So at all stages (giai đoạn) of my life (cuộc đời), I challenge myself (thách thức bản thân) to achieve (đạt được) the unthinkable (điều không tưởng tượng được) in order to make my support system happy and proud of taking all those sacrifices (vất vả, hy sinh) to bring me to where I am.
In the years leading up to and following his gold medal-winning (giành huy chương vàng) dive (nhảy lao đầu xuống nước, lặn) at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Mitcham suffered “profound depression” (trầm cảm nặng) that led to self-harming, binge drinking (nhậu nhẹt liên miên) and drug abuse (lạm dụng ma túy), but he initially kept it to himself, not seeking help due to the shame (nỗi xấu hổ, nỗi ê chề) he felt.“Even if you have the world at your feet, you can still suffer (chịu đựng, gánh chịu). I had no reason to feel the way I did and that compounded the depression”, he says, adding that for anyone going through the same things, the best path is to share your story (chia sẻ câu chuyện (cuộc đời tôi)).
"A world away" nghĩa là gì?

'A world away' nghĩa là một thế giới rất khác, khác một trời một vực so với cái gì đó.
Ví dụ
Star Clair Norris has a glamorous (hấp dẫn) lifestyle a world away from her character Bernadette Taylor's - judging by her social media.
Twenty-five minutes and a world away from the bustle of Downtown, Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai, an outpost from the Las Vegas original, is one of Dubai’s newest hotels, located on a peaceful waterside development, extended from the popular Jumeirah Beach Residences.
I stayed at Beach House Hermosa, a classically (cổ điển, hạng ưu) Californian building with white window shutters (rèm cửa sổ) like you've seen in movies and on TV shows. Manager Marje Bennetts told me Hermosa is "a quaint beach city", a world away from the busy nature of the concrete jungle of LA, despite it only being 45 minutes away.
