Dicţionarul dă o variantă foarte "nesărată": "a aduce noi insulte".
Cunoaşteţi cumva un echivalent mai plastic/sugestiv în română?
Mulţumesc anticipat.

dar nu am idee daca se potriveste sau nu. M-a cam parasit inspiratia in ultimul timp :(

am mai găsit ceva: "he added insult to injury" > "după ce că l-a lezat, l-a mai şi jignit"
N-aş spune că-mi place prea mult. Ar mai fi o zicere, dar prea e de-a noastră, adică "plastică", cred că o ştiţi şi voi: "Şi ..., şi cu banii luaţi". SCUZE!

a pune sare pe rana/ a inrautati situatia
Am gasit 4 definitii pe dict.leo.org. Nu stiu in ce masura cunosti limba germana, asa ca mi-am permis sa le traduc....motamo ce-i drept..:)).1-a explicatie este: a inrautati totul; a2-a = la fel cu prima ; a3-a = a pune ceva in plus sau mai bine zis a pune paie pe foc (d-na Lucia nu si-a pierdut deloc inspiratia...), iar a4-a = a pune sare pe rana. Pe al 2-lea site gasesti explicatia in engleza.

said when you feel that someone has made a bad situation worse by doing something else to upset you:
They told me I was too old for the job, and then to add insult to injury, they refused to pay my expenses!

In caz ca nu te-am stresat destul....am mai gasit o expresie cat de cat asemanatoare cu'add insult to injury' si anume 'to cap it all':used when you mention something in addition to all the other (bad) things that have happened:
It's been a terrible week and now, to cap it all, I've got a cold.
Cred ca sensul este de 'a pune capac' sau 'colac peste pupaza'...????
