I am as [...] as [...]

Another quotation from Poirot, on the occasion of his willingly paying off a bet he'd lost:

"I am as magnanimous in defeat as I am modest in victory."

How about Soy tan magnánimo en la derrota como modesto en la victoria?

Sound okay?

Muy bien, Glen... :thumbsup:
Sólo me acuerdo de Poirot de cuando leí, de niño, "Muerte en las nubes"... (Death in the Air/Death in the Clouds)... La tengo por ahí en inglés... para volverla a leer (esta vez en versión original... "no doblada") ;) :D

(Buen tipo, Monsieur Hercules Poirot...) :)
