The Apology

Socrates in the first instance answered: 'What! do I not seem to you to have spent my whole life in meditating my defence?'

苏格拉底首先回答说：‘怎么！你不觉得我一生都在思考我的辩护吗？’

By a lifelong persistence in doing nothing wrong, and that I take to be the finest practice for his defence which a man could devise.

通过一生坚持不做错事，我认为这是一个人能想出的最好的辩护方式。
