"A legend in your own lifetime" nghĩa là gì?


"A legend in (one's) own lifetime" = là huyền thoại của chính đời mình -> nghĩa là ai đó rất nổi tiếng/lừng danh khi còn sống.

Ví dụ
Becoming a legend in your own lifetime is a special achievement. Doing so while still playing is something else. Managing to accomplish it while still being the best player on the planet? That takes Lionel Messi.

Dr Kathleen, as she was usually known, was born in 1896 at a time before women had the vote and very few became medical practitioners (người đang hành nghề y). She was described as a legend in her own lifetime in the Calendar News documentary. She worked in medical practice with her father and brothers in Harrogate.

Surely, such a prince and such a giant, who became a legend in his own lifetime, deserves an appropriate eulogy (bài tán dương, ca ngợi). I therefore begin with a confession (sự tuyên bố, phát biểu). I feel uncomfortable and totally inadequate (không thích đáng, thiếu) in the role of a maspid for my rebbe (thầy học, tôn sư), the Rav. Only one person could possibly have done justice to this task, and that is — the Rav himself; everyone and anyone else remains a maspid shelo kihalacha … Nevertheless, we owe it to him to try our best. And so I ask your — and his — forgiveness at the very outset (sự bắt đầu, khởi đầu).
