1 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.
If a big politician like Senator Ashley Dukes plays safe, that's a good reason why a sheriff ought to look out for his future too. (E. Caldwell, ‘Trouble in July’, ch. II) — Если такой известный политический деятель, как сенатор Эшли Дьюкс, предпочитает не рисковать, почему бы и шерифу также не подумать о своем будущем.
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.

Oates souffrait de gelures multiples et afin de ne pas ralentir la progression de ses camarades, il décida de se sacrifier en disparaissant dans la tourmente. Cet épisode est censé symboliser les qualités d'héroïsme et d'abnégation associées au caractère britannique. Aujourd'hui, on emploie cette formule par allusion à Oates sur le mode humoristique lorsque l'on sort d'une pièce ou bien lorsqu'on va aux toilettes.
