Текст песни Better Sorry Than Safe
Перевод песни Better Sorry Than Safe
Better Sorry Than Safe
I can’t even think of one good reason
Why I’m always thinking about leaving
It’s not like everything’s so horrible
We’ve been together for a few years now
And you know all my ins and outs
But everything’s way too comfortable,
From the moment I wake I plan my escape
Chorus:
I’m not scared
‘Cause I know there’s something out there waiting for me
And I swear that I’ll find it someday, just wait and see.
I don’t care that you call me crazy
I can’t stay ’cause I need room to breathe
There’s nothing left to say,
Better sorry than safe
Sometimes I wish you cheated on me
Then leaving here would be so easy
It’s time to take a chance and give you up
In the morning I’ll wake and make my escape
Better Sorry Than Safe
Я не могу вспомнить ни одной серьезной причины,
Почему я все время думаю о том, чтобы уйти,
Ну не так уж все и плохо.
Мы прожили вместе несколько лет,
И ты отлично знаешь меня.
Но всё слишком уж спокойно.
Едва проснувшись, я планирую побег
Иногда мне хотелось бы, чтоб ты меня обманул,
Тогда мне было бы так легко уйти,
Пришло время рискнуть и оставить тебя,
Утром я проснусь и убегу
No better to be safe than sorry

What does «no better to be safe than sorry» mean?
This sentence is from the song by A-HA called «Take on me»:
So needless to say
I’m odds and ends
But that’s me stumbling away
Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It’s no better to be safe than sorry
Thank you all so much for your attention and time.
With kind regards,

The point of the expression better to be safe than sorry is that one shouldn’t take risks.
This person is suggesting that one should take risks if one is to enjoy life. It’s quite a common point of view, to judge from the way many people drive motor cars. I doubt if the song-writer was thinking about motor-cars.

I have to say, I can’t see anything in Thomas Tompion’s post which implied you were a blockhead!
I agree entirely with his comments on «It is better to be safe than sorry».
«It is no better to be safe than sorry» is not a common English idiom, but can be understood as a play on the common idiom. Perhaps turning it around a little will help make the meaning clear: Being safe is no better than being sorry.

Конспект урока по английскому языку на тему «Better safe than sorry» (7 класс).
Better safe than sorry
· You will learn the names of different crimes.
· You will learn how to protect yourself in the city and in the country.
The topic of the lesson is SAFETY.
Whether you live in a big city or in the country you should think about safety.
Crime and danger are everywhere:
Stealing on transport
Steal from the shop – shoplifting
Steal from a person – stealing
Rob a person – robbery
Break into a house – burglary
Everyone should be really careful – better safe than sorry.
Albert feels safe because he knows how to protect himself and his home in a big city.
What should we do to feel safe in a big city?
Albert’s ideas are surely useful:
Always put a chain on the door
Look through the peephole before answering
Don’t let a stranger in
Keep your valuables close to you
Walk in well-lit streets
How about Jack? Does he feel safe in the country? Yes, he does.
Let’s visit Jack, he has some advice for you:
Install an alarm system properly
Fit dusk-to-dawn lights around the house
People in the country know each other very well
If a stranger comes to your house it is OK to check his ID.
How about you? Do you live in a big city or in the country? Do you know how to protect yourself properly?
Albert and Jack say:
‘Keep your mobile switched on – you can always call the police if anyone causes problems.’

Better Safe Than Sorry Meaning
Definition: Be cautious so that you do not make a mistake you will later regret.
To be better safe than sorry is to be cautious or prepared so that you do not later make a mistake.
People who are better safe than sorry arrange and organize ahead of time so that they do not have to face negative consequences in the future. This may mean they are physically safe or that they are safe from bad events.
For example, if someone heavily prepares for a presentation at work, he will not be sorry if he gets asked a difficult question because he will be prepared to answer it.
Origin of Better Safe Than Sorry
The phrase better safe than sorry has been attributed to two different authors. It was first used in the texts Rory O’More and Murder at the Hunting Club.
There are also many variations of this phrase, including,
In fact, the phrase better sensible than sorry was used first, though it is not commonly used today.
Examples of Better Safe Than Sorry
People say better safe than sorry in order to spur others to make sensible choices.
For example, someone might say better safe than sorry when buckling the seatbelt in a car, which will prevent him from potentially being sorry if he were to get in a car accident.
This phrase can also describe preventing negative outcomes unrelated to physical safety.
For example, someone might want to leave his keys in the car while running back into the house to grab an item he forgot, but he knows that there is a small chance the car could get stolen if the keys are left inside with no one else around. He might choose to be safe rather than sorry and turn off the car to take the keys inside with him.
More Examples
Summary
The phrase better safe than sorry describes why taking precautions now is better than making mistakes later.
Better safe than sorry
Better safe than sorry
You just got a bicycle. You’re trying to decide whether to buy a helmet to wear when you ride it. You think to yourself:
Better safe than sorry.
Вы только что купили велосипед, И теперь думаете, стоит ли покупать защитный шлем для езды. Вы думаете про себя :
Better safe than sorry = Осторожность никогда не помешает (Бережёного бог бережёт)
Better safe than sorry осторожность никогда н помешает
This is a set expression in English which means that it’s best to do things safely. If you don’t stay safe, something might go wrong and then you will regret it.
Это устойчивое выражение английского языка значит «лучше всё делать надёжно и безопасно». Если вы как-то пострадаете, то потом пожалеете
Use this phrase when you or someone else is trying to decide between two choices, one of which is safer than the other. For example, if you’re deciding whether to buy insurance for a car that you’re renting, you can say this after thinking about it for a few seconds:
Используйте это выражение, когда вы или кто-то другой пытается выбрать между альтернативами, одна из которых безопаснее другой. Например, если вы решаете, стоит ли покупать страховку для арендуемого автомобиля, можно подумать несколько секунд и потом сказать:
Hmm. I guess I’ll go with the complete coverage. Better to be safe than sorry.
Гммм. Наверное, всё же куплю полную страховку. Бережёного бог бережёт

The logic behind «better safe than sorry»
It struck me that the phrase «better safe than sorry» is somewhat illogical, or perhaps more accurately, it is so logical and obvious that it seems to carry no meaning at all.
My problem with this phrase is that is compares two things (being safe, and being sorry), one of which is obviously good, while the other is obviously bad. Clearly, being safe is better than the «base state», which in turn is better than being sorry. This is in contrast with another common phrase «prevention is better than cure», in which both prevention and cure presumably carry some cost, and the costs are compared in a very logical manner.
Could someone please explain why «better safe than sorry» makes sense? (assuming that it does)
8 Answers 8
This is like «it’s better to buy insurance and not need it (than it is to not have insurance and need it).»
In this phrase, being safe requires effort to be in that condition, but the effort is small compared to what loss might occur if that effort weren’t made.
It’s better to check behind your car every time you back out of your driveway, even if you don’t have children or pets.
It’s better to always check if the gun is loaded, even if you don’t have bullets.
This axiom is not a comparison between safe and sorry. It is a reminder, born out of bitter experience, that adverse situations will occur, and being prepared for when they do is better than the alternative.
Safety always takes time and effort that many see as a waste. If an adverse action occurs infrequently, it is all-too-human to assume that just because it hasn’t happened recently, it will not happen.
My understanding of the phrase is that it is used in a situation which has some significant probability of becoming adverse without proper attention or prevention. It’s an argument in favor of taking preventative action. The saying indicates that one would be wise to take appropriate action to make sure that undesirable state doesn’t come about.
better [to take the time/effort do this and ensure you are] safe than [to not do this and possibly become] sorry.
It’s typically a suggestion, and more risk-prone folks may choose not to heed it and still be okay. For example:
I’m going to ride my motorcycle without a helmet because I enjoy it much more that way, and there’s only a small likelihood that I’ll get into an accident.
In use, it’s a short way of saying the much less convincing «You/I might end up regretting it if you/I don’t do this.» This phrase is mostly valid when the extra step has no risks, but the person you are telling the phrase to believes that the extra step is unnecessary, paranoid, or just overkill.
Using this phrase might be analogous to:
Me: Why are you eating an apple?
You: Humans get hungry.
I already knew that humans get hungry, but you’ve still managed to communicate some new information for me (that you were hungry) by responding that way.
The statement is not as obvious at it might seem and it is trying to combat an inbuilt psychological resistance to facing harsh or unpleasant realities.
I think that there are an astonishing amount of accidents with high human cost that are caused by the brain’s in-built forgetfulness or blindness to risk. In order to keep us happy and sane, our brains forget or ignore a lot of things that if we stop and think about them would make us unhappy. You only have to see the news to see how many accidents are caused that could easily have been prevented, but occur because one person thought that ‘it wouldn’t happen to them’.
Therefore the phrase is designed to instruct us to combat that in-built resistance with an always present compensation to be ‘safe’ and it explains that we should because the consequences (although probably rare) might make us very sorry.
There are a lot of people out there who have injured or killed other people through negligence because they didn’t exercise appropriate caution. They live their lives always knowing that they should have been more cautious and this phrase is simple and could save a lot of sorrow if remembered.
Obviously this phrase applies to many less important issues, but the core message is ‘always remember that something can go wrong that you would regret’. Whether remembering it saves a life or just makes you stop to fill up the car with fuel earlier, it helps us remember that we need to show extra caution because our brains are wired to be less cautious than we should be.

Better Safe Than Sorry: Why We Believe In Tempting Fate [Excerpt]
Switching grocery lines, carrying an umbrella, talking out loud about a possible no-hitter in baseballa sense of jinxing things arises because when negative possibilities come to mind, they seem more likely
«data-newsletterpromo_article-image=»https://static.scientificamerican.com/sciam/cache/file/4641809D-B8F1-41A3-9E5A87C21ADB2FD8_source.png»data-newsletterpromo_article-button-text=»Sign Up»data-newsletterpromo_article-button-link=»https://www.scientificamerican.com/page/newsletter-sign-up/?origincode=2018_sciam_ArticlePromo_NewsletterSignUp»name=»articleBody» itemprop=»articleBody»>
There are certain laws of nature everyone accepts. The surest way to bring about rain on an overcast day is to leave your umbrella at home. Is your line at the grocery store moving too slowly? Switch lines. That will definitely speed it up (minus you). And if you’ve hit a series of green traffic lights that just might get you to the post office before it closes, comment on your string of success. Ah, there’s the red.
Do people really believe such actions can change their fortunes?
In recent years Jane Risen of the University of Chicago and Thomas Gilovich of Cornell have shed more light than anyone on the phenomenon of tempting fate. When they asked people to answer rationally whether exchanging a lottery ticket for another ticket would increase the chances of their old ticket winning, 90 percent said no. But when asked to answer the same question using their gut, 46 percent said yes. (Subjects thought selling the ticket to an enemy gave it the best chance of winning.) In another experiment, people said wearing a Stanford shirt after applying to the school would reduce the probability of admission.
Risen and Gilovich argue that belief in tempting fate rests, in part, on a three-step mental process. First, some behaviors make outcomes seem especially bad because they highlight the contrast between what happened and what almost happened. Being stuck in a slow grocery line feels worse if you switched into that line than if you were always in that line, because you were just in a faster line. Second, negative scenarios engage our imagination more than positive ones (as they should: a fish can feed a man for a day, but a blowfish can kill him for a lifetime). So if you’re thinking about switching lines, the thought of switching to a line that then slows down is worse than the thought of staying in a slow line, and therefore it looms larger in your head. Finally, the more you think about something, the more likely it seems.
To summarize the three-step process, negative outcomes would feel worse after tempting fate, which makes their possibility especially attention-grabbing, and thus more likely-seeming. Sounds like a rickety series of cognitive contraptions requiring a lot of effort to execute, but it’s completely automatic. In fact, Risen and Gilovich found that asking subjects to count backward by threes from 564—a cognition-hogging task—made them more likely to believe showing up to class without doing the reading would get them called on.
Tempting fate usually refers to one of two things: taking unnecessary risks or displaying hubris. Attempting to cheat death or showing presumption about success will inevitably invite rebuke. As a proverb says, “If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans.”
During the 2001 anthrax scare, a reporter for the Washington Post called up Scott Ian, a guitarist for the thrash-metal band Anthrax. “People keep coming up to me and saying, ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be funny if you got anthrax?’ ” he told the reporter. “I’m like, ‘Oh, that’d be hilarious.’ ” To be on the safe side, he filled a prescription for the antibiotic Cipro. “I will not die an ironic death,” he said.
“The universe seems interested not only in punishing certain behaviors but in punishing them a certain, ironic way,” Risen and Gilovich have written. We predict that negative outcomes will share some association with their antecedent—they’ll fit the crime. Therefore, wearing a Stanford T-shirt will have no effect on the weather, and carrying an umbrella will have no effect on school admissions. And naming your act Anthrax offers no reason to stock up on, say, Rogaine. (Naming your thrash-metal band Male Pattern Baldness, on the other hand. )
A predictable way to invite failure is to call attention to success. In one study conducted at Tulane, 48 percent of medical residents avoided the word quiet while on call for fear that all hell would break loose. You can even jinx other people this way. Some families in Azerbaijan seclude infants and their mothers for forty days after birth to make sure no one compliments the parents.
Risen and Gilovich argue that thinking about the positive (a streak) automatically calls to mind its flipside (the streak’s end), which then takes mental priority and thus seems more likely. They also note that we fail to appreciate regression to the mean. Nearly every game of baseball fails to become a no-hitter, but the act of saying, “We’ve got a no-hitter on our hands” sticks out and gives people something specific to blame.
Once you’ve tempted fate, there’s at least one way to make amends, to tell fate, Really, I take it all back. Giora Keinan of Tel Aviv University asked subjects a series of questions such as “Has anyone in your immediate family suffered from lung cancer?” Half the participants spontaneously knocked on wood at least once after answering.
Purchasing insurance is another way people attempt to deter fate and reduce the likelihood of an accident. Orit Tykocinski of the Interdisciplinary Center in Israel asked people to imagine going on a trip to Bangkok with or without insurance. The insured group rated the probability of illness or lost luggage lower than the other group did. Tykocinski argues that thinking about one’s insurance provides an overall sense of safety that makes negative hypothetical events less threatening and thus seem less probable.
Risen and Gilovich note that going against any superstition, no matter how silly, can feel like tempting fate because of the anticipated regret of misfortune after flouting conventional wisdom. Allowing anticipated regret to influence your judgments of objective probability is irrational, but the psychologists Dale Miller and Brian Taylor have argued that it’s not irrational to let anticipated regret affect your behavior. Regret is real. So if you’d feel worse falling into a pothole after walking under a ladder than after walking around the ladder, by all means, take the few extra steps to walk around. You won’t regret it.

Better safe than sorry in Russian
In this podcast episode we will learn two Russian expressions that can always “come in handy”, and these days, even more so.
Сего́дня я хочу́ предложи́ть ва́шему внима́нию два ру́сских выраже́ния, кото́рые всегда́ приду́тся кста́ти, а в э́ти дни, как нельзя́ кста́ти.
Today I want to offer to your attention two Russian expressions which will always “come in handy”, and these days, even more so.
Сего́дня в вы́пуске:
Today in the episode:
– Лу́чше перебде́ть, чем недобде́ть.
– Better be overly careful than not careful enough (better safe than sorry).
– Бережёного Бог бережёт.
– God saves man who save himself.
Дава́йте разберём их по одному́…
Let’s have a look at them one at a time …
Лу́чше перебде́ть, чем недобде́ть:
Better safe than sorry:
Перебде́ть происхо́дит от сло́ва бдеть, т.е. быть бди́тельным. Перебде́ть – зна́чит быть бди́тельным сверх необходи́мости. Недобде́ть, как вы догада́лись, зна́чит быть недоста́точно бди́тельным.
“Перебдеть” comes from the word “бдеть”, i.e. to be vigilant. “Перебдеть” is to be vigilant beyond necessity. “Недобдеть”, you guessed it, means being not vigilant enough.
Таки́м о́бразом значе́ние э́того выраже́ния таково́: лу́чше быть чрезме́рно осторо́жным, чем недоста́точно осторо́жным.
Thus, the meaning of this expression is: it is better to be overly careful than not careful enough.
Второ́е выраже́ние, явля́ющееся ру́сской посло́вицей, вто́рит пе́рвому: Бережёного Бог бережёт.
The second expression, which is a Russian proverb, echoes the first one: God protects careful ones.
Бережёный в э́том выраже́нии э́то тот, кто соблюда́ет осторо́жность, бережёт себя́ сам. Таки́х люде́й, как говори́т нам наро́дная му́дрость, храни́т и Бог.
“Бережёный” in this expression is the one who is careful, who takes care of himself. Such people, as folk wisdom tells us, are also protected by God.
Я наде́юсь, что вы, прислу́шиваясь к наро́дной му́дрости и го́лосу ва́шего ра́зума, всегда́ соблюда́ете все необходи́мые ме́ры предосторо́жности. Здоро́вья вам и ва́шим бли́зким, и до ско́рой встре́чи!
I hope that you, listening to the folk wisdom and the voice of your mind, always follow all the necessary precautions. Good health to you and your loved ones, and until next time!

Dorian Mattar says:
Why does she speak so damn fast? I’d say she memorized it and just flew over it. It’s faster than most people would talk in real life.
Очень по-русски says:
I don’t memorize podcasts and don’t come up with the text on the go. I spend time writing it first and then I read it.
While some of the episodes are read quite fast, here I agree, others and this particular one are actually slower than a normal conversational speech. You should listen to some Russian news to get a sense of how Russians speak in real life.
If you are just a beginner, this content will not help you much.
In any case, I hope at some moment you can find this helpful. If not, well, one can’t make everybody happy. 🙂
Dorian Mattar says:
I didn’t say you improvised, I said you flew over it, meaning you practically memorized it, and so you read it very fast. My ex wife did not talk that fast. Maybe the news needs to put a certain amount of info into a specific time frame, but if people try talking to me that fast, I slow them down.
Очень по-русски says:
I don’t know your ex-wife, but rest assured that most of the Russians I know speak faster than you can hear in the audio. Besides, when recording, I stop and make pauses between the sentences so the listeners have time to process what they just heard.
And if we are talking personally, when people talk to me slow, I struggle to stay awake. Everybody has different needs.
Why don’t you start with something that matches your level of Russian better?
Alfonso says:
Очень по-русски says:
I don’t think that person is going to come back here. But thank you for your comment. 🙂
Dorian Mattar says:
And why are you using that funky font for the Russian portion. It is hard to read and completely unnecessary.
Очень по-русски says:
I’m not sure why you find this font funky. This is Tahoma – one the most straightforward fonts you can find on the web and in your office applications.
If by “funky” you mean the accents, this is not a feature of the font. This is to help you to see where the accents fall and to be able to pronounce the words correctly without the help of the audio. You can learn more about the accents here: https://learnrussianstepbystep.com/en/stress-marks-in-russian-words/.
I chose Tahoma because it is easy to read and it works well with the accents (not all fonts render accents correctly).
Dorian, if you have other questions about the Russian language, I’m always happy to help. But if you are just looking for a place to express your frustration, that would be the last comment I answered.
Have a nice day and peace.
Dorian Mattar says:
The English is in tahoma, the Russian is on some other font. This is what it’s supposed to look like: перебде́ть. Look at that word on the exercise. Completely different font.
Since you can’t seem to be able to take critique, I’m leaving the page.
Очень по-русски says:
You are not fair and you know it. The Russian text is in Tahoma and the English one is in “Noto Sans”, you can easily see it in the code of the page in the browser inspector, if you have any doubts and know how to use the inspector.
You took one of two places where the word перебдеть does not have an accent to try to prove your point, while it has the accent everywhere else in the text and you can see it as well as I can see it. By the way, there is transcription right below the word in the vocabulary section (if this is what you meant by “exercise”), so no need for the accent.
Your words were not a critique, you were attacking my work. “Your podcasts are too fast even for my good level of Russian” or “You speak too fast and it is hard to follow” – that’s a critique. Your choice of words and intonations revealed rather a frustrated person who is not able to be nice to people and admit when he is wrong.
I wish you to relieve your frustration and to learn to be nice to people. It’s rewarding.

A: Are you going to jump from here or walk around to the stairs?
B: I am going to walk around even though it will be 10 minutes more. Better safe than sorry.
«Better safe than sorry» is a shorter way to say:
It is better to be careful. The shortcut may get you there faster but it is more dangerous (risky). Then if you get hurt, you will be sorry that you chose the faster way.
The saying «better safe than sorry» can be used for other things besides a traveling route.
You can save money by putting it in a savings bank account. Or you can make money fast by gambling or investing in the stock market.
