     ♦ ...Видавшие виды дамы просто обязаны предупреждать молодёжь женского пола [по поводу таких мужчин, как Никандров]: "И не вздумайте! Кроме головной боли, ничего не маячит!" (Залыгин 1). Seasoned women had a duty to warn the younger of their sex about men like him [Nikandrov]: "Don't even think about it! You'll get yourself nothing but a headache!" (1a).

     ♦ "...Ты не вздумай ему сказать про... того парня, которого я сдуру взял в кассу" (Семёнов 1). "...Don't take it into your head to say anything about...that kid I took to the bank" (1a).

     ♦ Митягин давно уже по-соседски упрашивал Семёна Тетерина взять его на медвежью охоту... Семён дал ему свою старенькую одностволку, наказал: "Не вздумай лезть наперёд, не на зайца идём" (Тендряков 1). For a long time Mityagin had been begging Simon Teterin to do him a favour, as a neighbour, by taking him on a bear hunt. ...Simon gave him his old rifle, and said: "Don't try to get in front, we're not after hares" (1a).
