"To his credit" nghĩa là gì?

"To one's credit" nghĩa là chỉ điều gì đáng khen ngợi. "To be to one's credit" nghĩa là để xứng đáng với sự khen ngợi, chứng minh mình đáng được biểu dương.

Ví dụ
To his credit, Jim Boylen, fired in August, coaxed (dỗ dành) the ninth-best defense (hàng thủ) out of a relatively young team with an extremely aggressive scheme (sơ đồ chiến thuật). 

To his credit, Boynton Beach Mayor Steven Grant had enough — especially after a more recent incident in which a police department (sở cảnh sát) spokeswoman (phát ngôn viên) “liked” a Facebook comment referring to 17 Black men arrested in a drug sweep (truy quét ma túy) as “losers” and “garbage”.

To his credit, Kissinger was by then having qualms (e ngại) about the open-ended wiretap program (chương trình nghe lén). Haig's talking points (chủ đề bàn luận) suggest that Kissinger inquire how long the program would last, "making it clear that the President wishes to terminate (chấm dứt) them as soon as possible." 

None of this is to say Mayes’ record is sure to please everyone, or even us. For instance, he voted against Senate Bill (Dự luật) 1421, which released police misconduct (hành vi sai trái) records, and he didn’t cast a vote either way on Assembly Bill 5, which should’ve been an easy “no” vote. To his credit, Mayes has since voted to exempt (miễn) several professions (ngành nghề) from AB5 (đạo luật).
