求高手翻译一段超难的英语短文！

But this is not difficult, O Athenians, to escape death, but it is much more difficult to avoid depravity, for it runs swifter than death. And now I, being slow and aged, am overtaken by the slower of the two; but my accusers, being strong and active, have been overtaken by the swifter, wickedness. And now I depart, condemned by you to death; but they condemned by truth, as guilty of iniquity and injustice: and I abide my sentence and so do they. These things, perhaps, ought so to be, and I think that they are for the best.

Answer 1

但这不难， 哦!雅典人，避免堕落要比逃避死亡困难得多，因为它比死亡跑的更迅捷。现在，我在变得缓慢，衰老，已经被这前两者中的较慢者赶超。但我的指控人，他们是强壮和活跃的，已经被邪恶的迅捷者赶超。现在我离开，你判处我去死，但他们用事实宣判，由于不公正的罪过。我遵守我的宣判，他们也如是。或许这些事情本 该如此，我觉得他们称心如意了。

Answer 2

雅典人啊，面对死亡并不困难，但面对堕落却困难得多，因为堕落比死亡跑得更快。而现在，我又老又慢，被两者中较慢的一个超越;但那些控告我的人，又强壮又主动，就被邪恶赶得更快了。现在我堕落了，被你判了死刑;他们却因真理断定我有罪，我不公。我遵守我的刑罚，他们也照样行事。这些事情也许应该如此，我认为这是最好的办法。
