Doing The Time That Fits The Crime
(I am in training to be a court interpreter. During this exercise, we had to list as many legal terms in English as we could think of. Then we compare notes.)
Instructor: “What are possible penalties for a crime?”
Me: “Incarceration!”
Student #1: “Fines!”
Student #2: “Work diversion!”
Student #3: “Prostitution!”
All: “WHAT?!”
Instructor: “Not in the US.”
Student #3: “I mean probation!”
