• ДАВАТЬ/ДАТЬ СЕБЕ СЛОВО[VP; subj: human]=====⇒ to decide firmly (to do sth.):- X vowed (to do sth.).♦ Направляясь в мурьёвскую глушь, я, помнится, ещё в Москве давал себе слово держать себя солидно (Булгаков 6).

Ever since his beloved horse Dolly had been mobilized during the war to deliver military supplies to the pass, and had suddenly come home by herself, deathly tired, with her back raw, and, most importantly-he was absolutely sure of this-with her spirit broken, her racing qualities forever ruined, he had made himself a vow never to raise horses (5a).♦ "Отчего вы не служите в армии?" - "После Аустерлица! - мрачно сказал князь Андрей. - Нет, покорно благодарю, я дал себе слово, что служить в действующей русской армии я не буду" (Толстой 5). "Why aren't you serving in the army?" "After Austerlitz!" said Prince Andrei somberly. "No, thank you; I vowed never again to go on active service in the Russian army" (5a).Большой русско-английский фразеологический словарь > дать себе слово
