No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned... a man in a jail has more room, better food, and commonly better company.

-- Samuel Johnson 塞缪尔·约翰逊

没有人会成为一个有本事把自己关进监狱的水手;因为在船上就是在监狱里，有可能被淹死……一个人在监狱里有更多的空间，更好的食物，通常有更好的同伴。
