For the good man the habit or duty of blind obedience is enough.

对于好人来说， 盲目服从的习惯或义务就足够了。

But blind obedience cannot be the motive power where liberty applies, and a man must determine his own conduct for himself.

但盲目服从不能成为自由适用的原动力，一个人必须为自己决定自己的行为。

Nay, even this persuasion might not have had such weight with them, and they might have thought my punishment too severe, had not their good dispositions been represt by blind obedience to their Superior.

不，即使是这种劝说对他们来说也可能没有那么重要， 他们可能认为我的惩罚太重了， 要不是他们的好脾气因盲目服从他们的上司而受到抑制。
