уплатить штраф Explanation: Некоторые из значений слова forfeit: "поплатиться чем-либо"; "расплата" (за проступок и т.п. "Forfeit a penalty" просто-напросто означает "уплатить штраф". Конкретные примеры, подтверждающий эту версию перевода: http://tinyurl.com/mzbwkcj ("Every person who shall cut, mar or in any way mutilate any tree, shrub or flower, plant, fence, awning, sign, signboard, building, monument ... in any of the streets, public grounds, or cemetery in said village, or who shall tear down any notice lawfully posted, shall forfeit a penalty not to exceed ten dollars") http://tinyurl.com/qy6fnbk ("But legislative drivelling can go farther even than this.
