The question is, why does Socrates exhibit such proud defiance and independence of the laws in the Apology, and such total, even kind of mouse-like, acquiescence to the laws in the Crito?

问题是，为何苏格拉底一方面展现了自豪的反抗,及独立于法律之外如同《自辩篇》所载，但这种绝对性，却化为鼠辈般，默认了全部的法律，一如《克里托篇》所载？

Socrates seems to remain, even until the end, very much a kind of law unto himself while at the same time, again, providing Crito and others like him an example of rational and dignified obedience to the law.

苏格拉底一直到最后，似乎都保持着一种自我定义的法律,但同时，却也提供克里托及其它同类,一种理信,与庄严的服从法律范例。
