Russ: If I put you in jail,<[comma] I'll ruin your life. But if I let you go free,<[comma] the sense of impunity will push you to KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO. So [no comma] what DO *I* do with you?

👍🏼

Putting commas aside, why do we have to use KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO?
it's pretty clear the person was committing crimes. Why not say so?

Зачем додумывать за говорящего? Это чревато неточностями. Например, речь идёт о подлых кознях собеседника, что не совсем квалифицируется как преступления, и говорящий знает это, но просто блефует от отчаяния.

I agree with everything Tatiana says, plus perhaps the person who posted this wants to know how to say “keep doing what you do.”

To say nothing of the fact that you left the pronoun out of the last question.

It’s a shame, because aside from the mistakes and the liberties, I liked your translation. But with you it seems to be a 1-day to 1.5-day process from the time your mistakes are pointed out to the time when you actually delete or correct them, so I added my own.

"речь идёт о подлых кознях собеседника, что не совсем квалифицируется как преступления, " - за козни в тюрьму не сажают...

"But with you it seems to be a 1-day to 1.5-day process.." I can't visit the site every day. for me it's sporadically. That's why I couldn't correct it. Will just delete it. I just don't know how you guys have time to monitor this site every day for hours... I wish I had that much time.

>за козни в тюрьму не сажают.
В тюрьму не сажают, но никто не запретит грозить тюрьмой. И вообще, это был только пример того, в чём опасность слишком вольной интерперетации.
Мы тоже часами здесь не сидим. Но время от времени заглядываем, особенно после добавления переводов.

Russ, you’d be surprised to learn that I don’t spend hours on this site. I simply keep my ipad open to it next to my imac while I work and look at it from time to time - usually when I see a notification.
