Xinjiang was an important penal colony for 150 years after the Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty.(清代新疆自乾隆朝統一之后的一個半世紀內，一直是重要的流放地。)

Australia transformed itself from penal colony to one of the most popular property markets and successful developed economies.(澳大利亞就是從一個罪犯流放國躋身于備受青睞的資產市場、成為一個高度發達的國家。)

The first British settlement, a penal colony at Fort Jackson (now part of Sydney), was established in 788.(英國于788年在杰克遜堡（現悉尼一部分）建立第一塊流放殖民者居住地。)
