【Crito(42)】
【中译】
你与你父亲、或者与你的主人(如果你有主人的话)之间,并不存在这种平等的权利关系,因此无论他们怎样对待你,你都不能以同样的方式进行报复:受到责骂不得回嘴,受到殴打不得还手,以及其他诸如此类的情况。那么,你却认为可以这样对待祖国和法律吗?如果我们认为应当处死你,你就可以竭尽所能,企图反过来摧毁我们—国家和法律,并宣称自己这样做是正义的吗?你这个真正关心德性的人竟然会这样做吗?
【英译(Loeb译本)】
There was no such equality of right between you and your father or your master, if you had one, so that whatever treatment you received you might return it, answering them if you were reviled, or striking back if you were struck, and the like; and do you think that it will be proper for you to act so toward your country and the laws, so that if we undertake to destroy you, thinking it is right, you will undertake in return to destroy us laws and your country, so far as you are able, and will say that in doing this you are doing right, you who really care for virtue?
【原文】
50e-51a
ἢ πρὸς μὲν ἄρα σοι τὸν πατέρα οὐκ ἐξ ἴσον ἦν τὸ δίκαιον καὶ πρὸς δεσπότην, εἴ σοι ὢν ἐτύγχανεν, ὥστε ἅπερ πάσχοις ταῦτα καὶ ἀντιποιεῖν, οὔτε κακῶς ἀκούοντα ἀντιλέγειν οὔτε τυπτόμενον ἀντιτύπτειν οὔτε ἄλλα τοιαῦτα πολλά· πρὸς δὲ τὴν πατρίδα ἄρα καὶ τοὺς νόμους ἐξέσται σοι, ὥστε, ἐάν σε ἐπιχειρῶμεν ἡμεῖς ἀπολλύναι δίκαιον ἡγούμενοι εἶναι, καὶ σὺ δὲ ἡμᾶς τοὺς νόμους καὶ τὴν πατρίδα καθ᾽ ὅσον δύνασαι ἐπιχειρήσεις ἀνταπολλύναι, καὶ φήσεις ταῦτα ποιῶν δίκαια πράττειν, ὁ τῇ ἀληθείᾳ τῆς ἀρετῆς ἐπιμελόμενος;
