坐监

zuò jiān shì rén men yīn wèi fàn zuì ér fù chū zì yóu de dài jià

坐监是人们因为犯罪而付出自由的代价。

Prison is the price people pay with their freedom for committing crimes.

yīn fàn zuì ér zuò jiān bìng bù fáng ài zài fàn tā zuì

因犯罪而坐监并不妨碍再犯他罪。

To be in prison for one crime is no reason for not beginning on another crime.

yī gè jǐng chá kàn dào le biāo zhì lán zhù tā men shuō yào me bǎ pái zi zhāi xià lái yào me zuò jiān

一个警察看到了标志，拦住她们说：要么把牌子摘下来，要么坐监。

A policeman, seeing the sign, stopped them and told them they'd either have to remove the sign or go to jail.
