The Story of Philosophy的第110句：第1章Plato第2节II. Socrates第4段第3句：

Why did his pupils reverence him so? Perhaps because he was a man as well as a philosopher: he had at great risk saved the life of Alcibiades in battle; and he could drink like a gentleman — without fear and without excess. But no doubt they liked best in him the modesty of his wisdom: he did not claim to have wisdom, but only to seek it lovingly; he was wisdom’s amateur, not its professional. It was said that the oracle at Delphi, with unusual good sense, had pronounced him the wisest of the Greeks; and he had interpreted this as an approval of the agnosticism which was the starting-point of his philosophy— “One thing only I know, and that is that I know nothing.” Philosophy begins when one learns to doubt— particularly to doubt one’s cherished beliefs, one’s dogmas and one’s axioms. Who knows how these cherished beliefs became certainties with us, and whether some secret wish did not furtively beget them, clothing desire in the dress of thought? There is no real philosophy until the mind turns round and examines itself. Gnothi season, said Socrates: Know thyself.
浙江大学译本：但毫无疑问，他那谦逊外表下无穷的智慧才是学生最为崇拜的：他从不说自己拥有智慧，而只称自己爱慕智慧、追求智慧；他爱智慧，却又不把智慧当作自己的职业，而是当作自己的挚爱。

解析

这句话讲他的门徒们最爱他在智慧上的谦逊态度。前面看似看重他的人品，这句看来是他的门徒最看重他对智慧的追寻。
1、But no doubt they liked best in him the modesty of his wisdom:
But转折来突出苏格拉底的智慧以及对智慧的谦虚态度。“the modesty of his wisdom”长句后置，本来该在like后面，后置以便于突出他的谦虚。

2、he did not claim to have wisdom,
他从不声称自己拥有智慧。

3、but only to seek it lovingly;
只是喜欢寻找智慧。

4、he was wisdom’s amateur, not its professional.
他是智慧的业余爱好者，而非智慧方面的专业人士。
amateur：a person who does something (such as a sport or hobby) for pleasure and not as a job业余爱好者。这个词经常被人贬义化，觉得业余就是不好的，实则不然，“amateur”是个中性词，专指做某事只为了取乐，不当正式工作。
Any competent modern amateur could do that.这样的成绩当代任何一位业余球手都能做到。

但是毫无疑问，他们最爱的是他自身对智慧的谦逊态度：他从不声称自己拥有智慧，只是喜欢追寻智慧而已；他是智慧的业余爱好者，而非智慧方面的专业人士。
