наносить новые оскорбления [этим. лат. injuriae qui addideris contumeliam]‘Yes, but that ain't all,’ said Sam again directing his master's attention to the coach door: ‘not content with writin' up Pickwick they puts Moses afore it vich [= which] I call addin' insult to injury, as the parrot said ven they not only took him from his native land but made him talk the English langwidge [= language] afterwards.’ (Ch. Dickens, ‘Pickwick Papers’, ch. XXXV) — - Да, но это не все, - сказал Сэм, снова привлекая внимание своего хозяина к дверце кареты. - Им мало было написать "Пиквик", они еще поставили перед ним "Мозес", а это уж я называю прибавлять к обиде оскорбление, как сказал попугай, когда его не только увезли из родной страны, но заставили еще потом говорить по-английски.
To add insult to injury, President Woodrow Wilson yielded to threats by K. K. K. elements that the American Negro soldiers returning from France and expecting social equality would be treated with lynch violence. (W. Foster, ‘The Negro People in American History’, ch. 40) — Президент Вудро Вильсон, точно мало было других несправедливостей в отношении негров-солдат, пошел на уступки Ку-клукс-клану, грозившему подвергнуть расправе и линчеванию негров, которые возвращались из Франции с надеждой, что на родине им будет теперь предоставлено социальное равенство.
Gentlemen of the jury, before I call my evidence, I direct your attention to the bandage the accused is still wearing. He gave himself this wound with his Army razor, adding, if I may say so, insult to the injury he was inflicting on his country. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Caravan’, ‘The Juryman’) — Господа присяжные заседатели, прежде чем я вызову моих свидетелей, я хочу обратить ваше внимание на повязку, которую все еще носит подсудимый. Он сам нанес себе эту рану своей армейской бритвой и этим, если можно так выразиться, помимо увечья себе, нанес также оскорбление своей родине.
