3 play safe
играть наверняка, избегать риска, действовать осторожно‘You've got this all wrong, uncle Frank. Lily's not like her mother. She's different.’ ‘Maybe so, son, but why take a chance? Why not play safe and marry a girl like Bessie Allbright who you can be sure isn't going to disgrace you and wreck your banking career?’ (E. Caldwell, ‘The Sure Hand of God’, ch. 13) — - Все это не так, дядя Фрэнк. На свою мать Лили не похожа. Она совсем другая. - Возможно, что и так, сынок. Но зачем рисковать? Не лучше ли сыграть наверняка, женившись на такой девушке, как Бесси Оллбрайт? Она-то уж, конечно, не опозорит тебя и не помешает твоей банковской карьере.

Once again remembering the awful price of one more conviction, Keycase was tempted to play safe... (A. Hailey, ‘Hotel’, ch. 12) — Помня о том, какое ужасное наказание его ожидает, если он еще раз попадется и будет осужден, Кикейс действовал осторожно.
‘No doubt,’ said Francis bitterly, ‘if things went wrong, Roger would play safe.’ (C. P. Snow, ‘Corridors of Powers’, ch. XXXIII) — - Без сомнения, - продолжал Фрэнсис с горечью, - если даже дело примет плохой оборот, Роджер как-нибудь выкрутится.

B. Shaw). Miss King has confided in us that she wished - aspired to become an actress. Are you also tempted toward the sacred flame? (J. Baldwin) -
