peer agreement (net): +5
peer agreement (net): +5give an excellent account of himself Explanation: I think if you try to add the "y el mío" here it will sound forced. My interpretation is that the writer is vouching for the character of this man, and saying that his future conduct will confirm just how good a judge of character the writer is for recommending him; however, I can't think of a way to express that without it sounding too convoluted or contrived. Perhaps you could simply translate the sentence like this: "I have the utmost confidence he will give an excellent account of himself wherever he may go/in any circumstance." |
