意味
To imitate someone's life choice.
文化的背景
In Poland, having a 'family tradition' in professions like law or medicine is highly respected and often expected in certain social circles. Polish scientists often use this phrase to show lineage to a particular 'school' of thought or a famous professor. In the Polish film industry, many famous directors and actors are children of previous legends, and this idiom is used constantly in interviews. In farming communities, 'pójście w ślady' often means taking over the family land, which is seen as a vital duty.
Use with Mentors
Don't just use this for parents. It sounds very professional to say you are following in the footsteps of a famous scientist or business leader.
Plural Only
Never say 'w ślad'. It must always be 'w ślady'.
