In many ways,

从很多角度来说
the Crito, in some respect,

<克里托篇>
is the platonic dialogue about piety.

是柏拉图式的敬神对话
Socrates seems

苏格拉底似乎
to accept here entirely the authority of the law;

全盘接受法律的权威性
he does not offer arguments for non compliance

他没有为不服从法律而辩驳
as he does in the Apology,

像他在<自辩篇>中那样
So what happened all of a sudden to Socrates,

苏格拉底身上突然发生了什么
the apostle of civil disobedience,

不服从理念的先驱者
Socrates the apostle of principled abstention?

苏格拉底这位有原则的远离公共事务的先驱
He accepts entirely,

他全盘接受
or the laws force him to accept entirely,

或者说法律强迫他接受
