【Crito（39）】

【中译】
苏格拉底：那么，倘若法律说：“苏格拉底，难道这不是你和我们之间所达成的共识吗？难道不是同意遵守城邦所作出的判决吗？”如果我对它们的话感到惊讶，它们也许会接着说：“苏格拉底，不要对这话感到惊讶，还是回答吧，因为你一向惯于采用问答方式。来吧，你指控我们和城邦犯了什么罪，以至于你竟然企图毁灭我们？首先，难道不是我们让你得以出生的吗？你的父亲不是通过我们娶了你的母亲、并生育了你吗？请告诉我们，你对我们有关婚姻的法律有什么不妥之处可以指责的吗？”

【英译（Loeb译本）】
Socrates. What then if the laws should say, “Socrates, is this the agreement you made with us, or did you agree to abide by the verdicts pronounced by the state?” Now if I were surprised by what they said, perhaps they would continue, “Don’t be surprised at what we say, Socrates, but answer, since you are in the habit of employing the method of question and answer. Come, what fault do you find with us and the state, that you are trying to destroy us? In the first place, did we not bring you forth? Is it not through us that your father married your mother and begat you? Now tell us, have you any fault to find with those of us who are the laws of marriage?”

50c-d
ΣΩ. Τί οὖν ἂν εἴπωσιν οἱ νόμοι· “ Ὦ Σώκρατες, ἦ καὶ ταῦτα ὡμολόγητο ἡμῖν τε καὶ σοί, ἢ ἐμμενεῖν ταῖς δίκαις αἷς ἂν ἡ πόλις δικάζῃ; ” εἰ οὖν αὐτῶν θαυμάζοιμεν λεγόντων, ἴσως ἂν εἴποιεν ὅτι “ Ὦ Σώκρατες, μὴ θαύμαζε τὰ λεγόμενα ἀλλ᾽ ἀποκρίνου, ἐπειδὴ καὶ εἴωθας χρῆσθαι τῷ ἐρωτᾶν τε καὶ ἀποκρίνεσθαι. φέρε γάρ, τί ἐγκαλῶν ἡμῖν καὶ τῇ πόλει ἐπιχειρεῖς ἡμᾶς ἀπολλύναι; οὐ πρῶτον μέν σε ἐγεννήσαμεν ἡμεῖς, καὶ δι᾽ ἡμῶν ἔλαβε τὴν μητέρα σου ὁ πατὴρ καὶ ἐφύτευσέν σε; φράσον οὖν, τούτοις ἡμῶν, τοῖς νόμοις τοῖς περὶ τοὺς γάμους, μέμφῃ τι ὡς οὐ καλῶς ἔχουσιν; ”
