Ответ №1
The attacker came out of the blue. At first he seemed to me a very friendly man who offered to drive me home. I agreed and got into the car, but the minute he started to threaten me with a knife and forced me to hand over my wallet which held my credit card, seven gift cards and some cash. The mugger grabbed my purse, pushed me out of the car and drove away. Fortunately, I remember the number of his car and was able to identify the attacker from a photo at the police station as well. He was a very well-known criminal in the area. Soon, the police caught him red-checked and the court sentenced him to two years imprisonment. By the way, I got my wallet back!
Нападавший появился неожиданно. Сначала он показался мне очень дружелюбным человеком, который предложил отвезти меня домой. Я согласился и залез в машину, но в ту же минуту он начал угрожать мне ножом и заставил меня достать мой бумажник, в котором лежали моя кредитная карточка, семь подарочных карт и немного наличных. Грабитель схватил мой кошелек, вытолкнул меня из машины и уехал. К счастью, я запомнил номер его автомобиля и был способен опознать преступника по фото в полицейском участке вдобавок. Он оказался очень известным преступником в этой местности. Вскоре полиция поймала его с поличным, и суд приговорил его к двухлетнему заключению. Кстати, мне вернули мой кошелек!
Ответ №2
Then out of the blue someone jumped out in front of me and started to threaten me, saying, “Hand over your purse, or I’ll hurt you.” I was in a state of shock as it was the first time anyone had tried to mug me. At first I didn’t want to give him what he wanted, but when he attacked me with a knife I knew I had to do it as I was told. I held out my purse and he grabbed it and ran away. Luckily, I was able to give the police a good description of the criminal and they caught him soon. I identified him as the mugger and he was given a prison sentence.
Затем, внезапно кто-то выпрыгнул впереди меня и начал мне угрожать, сказав «Доставай кошелек, или я покалечу тебя» Я был в состоянии шока, так как такое было в первый раз, что кто-то грабил меня. Сначала я не хотел отдавать ему то, что он хотел, но когда он напал на меня с ножом, я понял, что мне нужно делать то, что мне говорят. Я вытащил свой кошелек, и он выхватил его и убежал. К счастью, я смог дать полиции хорошее описание преступника, и они поймали его вскоре. Я опознал его как грабителя, и ему дали тюремное заключение.
Подумай! Что означает пословица? Согласны ли вы с этим? Почему / почему нет?
Слова Мудрости
Преступление никогда не оправдывается.
(пословица)
Ответ №1
Think! (proverb)
I cannot disagree with this wise statement because even professional criminals, who manage to hide from the police for a long time, are often caught red-handed, arrested by the police and punished eventually. Some robbers, pickpockets, burglars, vandals and other criminals repent of their acts and suffer remorse for the whole life. So crime doesn"t benefit a person. It brings a criminal a lot of problems or even condemns him to life imprisonment. People who do something illegal forget that it is forbidden to do all the things that they want and violate the rights of others.
Я не могу не согласиться с этим мудрым утверждением, потому что даже профессиональных преступников, которым удается скрываться от полиции в течение длительного времени, часто ловят с поличным, арестовывает полиция и наказывают, в конце концов. Некоторые грабители, карманники, воры-взломщики, хулиганы и другие преступники каются в своих действиях и страдают от угрызений совести всю жизнь.
Таким образом, преступление не приносит пользы человеку. Оно наделяет преступника многими проблемами или даже обрекает его на пожизненное заключение. Люди, которые делают что-то незаконное, забывают о том, что запрещено делать все то, что они хотят, и нарушать права других лиц.
Ответ №2
I agree with the proverb because although some crimes may have a financial gain, usually criminals end up in jail or living a violent and unhappy life. Committing crime will not improve your life but rather make it worse.
(Я согласна с пословицей, потому что хотя у некоторых преступлений и есть финансовая выгода, обычно преступники заканчивают жизнь в тюрьме или живут жестокой и несчастливой жизнью. Совершение преступления не улучшит вашу жизнь, но наоборот сделает ее хуже)

Lawbreakers do not benefit from their actions. For example, Steve didn"t think it mattered that he stole a candy bar, but he"s learned the hard way that crime does not pay. This maxim, originating as a slogan of the F.B.I. and given wide currency by the cartoon character Dick Tracy, was first recorded in 1927. There have been numerous jocular plays on it, as in Woody Allen"s screenplay for Take the Money and Run (1969): “I think crime pays. The hours are good, you travel a lot.”
devil to pay, the
devil to pay, theSerious trouble resulting from some action, as in There"ll be the devil to pay if you let that dog out. This expression originally referred to trouble resulting from making a bargain with the devil, but later was broadened to apply to any sort of problem. A variant, the devil to pay and no pitch hot , first recorded in 1865, gave rise to the theory that the expression was originally nautical, since pay also means “to waterproof a seam by caulking it with pitch,” and no pitch hot meant it was a particularly difficult job, since cold pitch is hard to use. However, the original expression is much older and is the one that survives.

It’s true “Crime doesn’t pay”. I mean if you do something criminal or illegal, is it a lot of things that could happen to you. The police can put you in jail if you do something criminal. You can end up in the court. You can also get a fine, and that’s pretty stupid because many people who do crime is poor and if they don’t have money. They have to steal to pay the fine. But if they steal they be criminal again, and they get another fine. And then they have to steal again. They are in a vicious circle. So the only thing to do to stop the crime is to put them in jail, and let them be there for a long time.
Another thing who can happen if you do crime is that you can feel guilty. All normal people will feel guilty if they do illegal things. And that’s not a good emotion. But I think people who do crime all the time don’t feel guilty. Maybe they feel it the first time, but now the crime is their life.
You see “Crime doesn’t pay”.
