「live down」と「get over」は、英語（アメリカ）で似ているように見える言葉ですが、微妙な違いがあります。
「live down」は、過去の恥ずかしい出来事や間違いなどを忘れられない状況から抜け出すことを意味します。その出来事が他人によって覚えられている場合に使われることが多いです。
例：She's still trying to live down her embarrassing mistake from last year.（彼女はまだ去年の恥ずかしい間違いを忘れられない状況から抜け出そうとしている。）
一方、「get over」は、過去の辛い出来事や感情などを克服して立ち直ることを意味します。自分自身の感情や心の中での問題を解決する際に使われることが多いです。
例：It took her a long time to get over the loss of her pet.（彼女はペットの死を乗り越えるのに長い時間がかかった。）
つまり、「live down」は他人の目を気にして過去の出来事から抜け出すことを指し、「get over」は自分自身の感情や困難を克服することを指します。

"Live down" and "get over" both relate to overcoming something, but they are used in different contexts:
Live down: To overcome the shame or embarrassment of something and continue with your life, often referring to a past mistake or event.
Example: "He'll never live down that embarrassing moment at the meeting."
Get over: To recover from something, usually an emotional experience, such as a loss, disappointment, or personal challenge.
Example: "It took her a long time to get over her breakup."
In short, "live down" is about overcoming shame or embarrassment, while "get over" is about emotional recovery.
