    Боль прошла совершенно, я поднялся со скамейки и двинулся по аллее. Хотелось дойти до колодца и набрать в кувшин воду на всякий случай (Трифонов 5). Now the pain was completely gone. I got up from the bench and started down the pathway I wanted to get a pitcherful of water from the well, just in case (5a).
    Дома все озабоченно обсуждали, что делать с продуктами... Дед был готов на казнь, только не сдавать. «Это они (немцы) пугают!»... Никто ничего не вернул и не сдал (немцам). Но на всякий случай дед спрятал продукты в сарае под сено (Кузнецов I). There was a worried discussion at home as to what to do about our food supplies.. Grandfather was ready to face execution rather than give any of it up "They're (the Germans are) just trying to scare us!"..No one returned or delivered anything (to the Germans), but, to be on the safe side, Grandfather hid our food under the hay in the shed (1a)
    Я на всякий случай уточнил у мальчишки моих лет: «В Германию облава?» (Кузнецов 1). Just to be sure I checked with a boy of my own age. "Is this a round-up for Germany?" (1b).
    «Ты, конечно, знаешь, зачем я тебя вызвал?» После разговора с Ермошиным я догадывался, но на всякий случай сказал, что не знаю (Войнович 5). "Of course you know why I called you in9" I had some idea after my talk with Ermoshin, but just to play it safe, I said I didn't know (5a)
    Я помню, сказал Учитель, мы в школе играли в конституцию. Тогда... все взрослые играли в нее. Сочинили и мы свою конституцию. И деньги свои выпустили. На деньгах на всякий случай написали: на эти деньги ничего купить нельзя (Зиновьев 1). "I remember," said Teacher, "that when I was at school we played at constitutions. It's the game that all the grown-ups were playing at the time. We used to draw up our own constitution and we issued our own money. Just for safety's sake we wrote on the notes: Nothing can be bought with this money" (1a).
    На всякий случай, для профилактики, икону можно повесить. Пусть это вас не смущает: я привык, в деревне воспитывался. Предрассудки эти в народной среде очень распространены (Терц 5). As a precaution against all eventualities you can hang up an ikon. Don't let that embarrass you - I'm used to it, having been brought up in the country These superstitions are very common among the country folk (5a)
