請幫忙翻譯一段英文,thank you
The duty of obeying the laws of one's country arises partly (as Socrates contends in the Crito) from the duty of gratitude for the benefits one has received from it; partly from the implicit promise to obey which seems to be involved in permanent residence in a country whose laws we know we are expected to obey, and still more clearly involved when we ourselves invoke the protection of its laws . . . ; and partly (if we are fortunate in our country) from the fact that its laws are potent instruments for the general good.
