62 make assurance double sure
вдвойне себя застраховать; ≈ для большей верности [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Macbeth: "Then live, Macduff: what need I fear of thee? But yet I'll make assurance double sure, And take a bond of fate: thou shalt not live; That I may tell pale-hearted fear it lies, And sleep in spite of thunder. " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Macbeth’, act IV, sc. 1) — Макбет: "Тогда живи, Макдуф: ты мне не страшен. И все же, чтоб верней была порука, Возьму с судьбы залог: ты жить не будешь; И бледный страх я назову лжецом И буду спать назло громам. " (перевод М. Лозинского)
Cowperwood sent an urgent wire to the nearest point and then, to make assurance doubly sure, to several other points in the same neighborhood, asking him to return immediately. (Th. Dreiser, ‘The Financier’, ch. XXIII) — Каупервуд отправил срочную телеграмму в ближайший к этому городку телеграфный пункт и для большей уверенности телеграфировал еще в несколько мест той округи, прося Стинера немедленно вернуться.
