Explanation:
la frase incompleta es un famoso dicho de Gracián, convertido en refrán popular

Une bonne chose si bref..." Non, mec, non ! Qu'est-ce que tu dis ?
UNE BONNE CHOSE, SI ELLE EST DOUBLE, EST DOUBLEMENT BONNE

como el original dice dos veces, el otro le da la vuelta y le dice, lo bueno (ça que c'est bon) si DOBLE...
debe tener alguna relación con el contexto, de tener el doble de algo
la frase tradicional apela a ser breve, porque resulta mejor
cuéntanos algo más para mejorar la explicación
