The translation of そんな謙遜ともとれる


> そんな謙遜ともとれる妹の態度に

I have a doubt on how to translate this part of the sentence properly, so I
was hoping for confirmation.

とれる can be translated into many words, but the closest meaning to the sentence
(in my interpretation) would be: 1. to be interpreted as, and 2. collected.

If とれる is valid to be translated as a part of an attitude/manner, there is a
collected manner (calm, cool, composed, etc.)

And I paid attention to the particle と and も that can be translated as (and
also).

So my translation is:

> ...from such a humble and also calm attitude of his younger sister.

Did I translate the sentence properly?

Thank you for your kind guidance.




そんな modifies （妹の）態度, not 謙遜.  
謙遜ともとれる is a relative clause that modifies （妹の）態度.

As you know, とれる is the potential form of とる（取る）, and you're right that the
とれる here means "interpret", or "see/consider/take". (It's not the とる in 態度をとる
in the sense of "to behave", though.)

The と means "as", as in 「AをBととる」 "interpret/take/see/consider A as B". も means
"also" or "even.

So your phrase:

> そんな［謙遜ともとれる］（妹の）態度に

means "toward (my/the) sister's such attitude/behavior [which can also/even be
interpreted/taken as humility/modesty]" or "toward (my/the) sister's behavior
[which can even/also be seen humble/modest]".
