"Do well for (oneself)" = làm tốt với bản thân -> đạt được thành công nhất định hoặc trở nên giàu có, ấm no.
Ví dụ
Where he'd come from shouldn't matter. He'd done well for himself, achieved respectability (đạt được sự tôn trọng).
I hope she'll be very happy. She'll certainly be well cared for. And Camille has also done well for herself, for she's now under the protection of a banker (giám đốc ngân hàng) and is being kept in a very grand manner.
He has done well for himself. It is a fine house, filled with rugs (trải đầy thảm) and carved chests (rương chạm khắc) and silver plates. I counted two servants, though his wife herself brought us sweet wine and made me a deep curtsy (nhún gối cúi chào).
At ten lire (đồng lia tiền Ý) an hour she could do well for herself. She would soon be able to afford better accommodation (chỗ ở). Happy for the first time in a long time, Rosa allowed herself to enjoy the pleasures of the senses that Via Tornabuoni offered.
