"fulfill" in this context 是什麼意思
Does it mean " fulfilled" ?
I don't know why it is not the past tense of "fulfill" here.

A: I understand that you and your wife are accomplished ballroom dancers, and you fulfill some of your earlier stage aspirations by writing and performing productions for court employees. How do these activities complement your professional life?

It is as though referring to something that started in the past but is still going on in the present. The tense is know as past present.

My understanding is that "fulfill" is a present tense. Why is "the present" used here?
I think it should be either of them though:
I understand that you have fulfilled some of your earlier stage aspirations
OR
I understand that you fulfilled some of your earlier stage aspirations

The "earlier aspirations" are being fulfilled now.
I would call this the present tense.

@Igirisujin @MaaR @noor_andin Ahh, I see. あー、わかりました! I thought it should have been written as a present perfect progressive 現在完了進行にすべきじゃないのかな、と思ってました。 皆さんご説明ありがとうございました。 Thank you all for your kind explanations!
