抓精神文明建设，抓党风、社会风气好转，必须狠狠地抓，一天不放松地抓，从具体事件抓起。
To promote ethical progress and raise standards of conduct both inside and outside the Party, we must redouble our efforts and not relax them for a single day.
And we should start by dealing with specific cases of wrongdoing.
经济犯罪的案件，在国外严重丧失国格人格的事件，还有搞特务的案件，都要抓紧处理。
We should move promptly to handle the cases of economic criminals, of people who in their dealings abroad have forfeited national and personal dignity and of persons who have served as enemy agents.
高级干部及其子女绝大多数是好的。
The great majority of high-ranking cadres and their children are good.
但是现在确有个别干部子弟泄露经济情报，卷入了情报网，出卖消息，出卖文件。
However, some of the children have divulged economic information, become involved in intelligence networks or sold information and documents.
越是高级干部子弟，越是高级干部，越是名人，他们的违法事件越要抓紧查处，因为这些人影响大，犯罪危害大。
We should concentrate on investigating typical cases of lawbreaking by the children of senior cadres, senior cadres themselves and well-known public figures, because crimes committed by these people cause the most serious damage.
抓住典型，处理了，效果也大，表明我们下决心克服一切阻力抓法制建设和精神文明建设。
Dealing with these cases will have the most effect; it will show our determination to surmount all obstacles in strengthening the legal system and promoting ethical progress.
那些小萝卜头漏掉一点关系不大，当然不是说就可以放松。
It doesn 't matter much if some small fry slip through the net; of course, I don 't mean that we can lie back and take it easy on that account.
我看，真正抓紧大有希望，不抓紧就没有希望。
But if we do a thorough job with these cases, we shall have an excellent chance of success; otherwise, it 's hopeless.
高级干部在对待家属、子女违法犯罪的问题上必须有坚决、明确、毫不含糊的态度，坚决支持查办部门。
High-ranking cadres whose family members have been involved in criminal activities should take a firm, clear-cut attitude towards those activities and resolutely support the judicial organs that are in charge of their cases.
青海省杨小民那个案子拖了多年，几任省委书记没有解决，现在处理了，处理得好。
Take the case of Yang Xiaomin in Qinghai Province for example.
For years a series of provincial Party secretaries took no action on it.
Now it has been dealt with at last, and that is good.
死刑不能废除，有些罪犯就是要判死刑。
The death penalty cannot be abolished, and some criminals must be sentenced to death.
我最近看了一些材料，屡教屡犯的多得很，劳改几年放出来以后继续犯罪，而且更熟练、更会对付公安司法机关了。
Recently I have read some relevant documents, from which I understand there are a great many habitual criminals who, on being released after a few years ' remoulding through forced labour, resume their criminal activities, each time becoming more skilful and more experienced in coping with the public security and judicial organs.
对这样的累犯为什么不依法杀一些？
Why don 't we have some of them executed according to law?
Why don 't we punish severely, according to law, people who traffic in women and children or who organize reactionary secret societies, and some of those habitual criminals who refuse to reform despite repeated attempts to educate them?Some of them must be executed, but of course we have to be very careful in such matters.
还有贩卖妇女、儿童，搞反动会道门活动，屡教不改的，为什么不依法从重判处？
Why don 't we have some of them executed according to law?
Why don 't we punish severely, according to law, people who traffic in women and children or who organize reactionary secret societies, and some of those habitual criminals who refuse to reform despite repeated attempts to educate them?Some of them must be executed, but of course we have to be very careful in such matters.
当然，杀人要慎重，但总得要杀一些。

涉及政治领域、思想领域的问题，只要不触犯刑律，就不受刑事惩处，不涉及死刑问题。
Those who have merely made mistakes in the political and ideological sphere but have not violated state law should not be given any criminal sanctions, let alone the death penalty.
但是对严重的经济罪犯、刑事罪犯，总要依法杀一些。
But some of the perpetrators of serious economic or other crimes must be executed as required by law.
现在总的表现是手软。
Generally speaking, the problem now is that we are too soft on criminals.
判死刑也是一种必不可少的教育手段。
As a matter of fact, execution is one of the indispensable means of education.
（陈云同志：杀一儆百。
[At this point Comrade Chen Yun remarked: "Executing some of them can help save many cadres.
杀一些可以挽救一大批干部。
As the saying goes, execute one as a warning to a hundred.
）现在一般只是杀那些犯杀人罪的人，其他的严重犯罪活动呢？
] Nowadays the death penalty is generally reserved for murderers only, but how about those who have committed other serious crimes?
In Guangdong Province prostitution is rampant -- why don 't we crack down on the worst proprietors of brothels?The ones who refuse to reform after being jailed and released several times should be severely punished as required by law.
广东卖淫罪犯那么猖獗，为什么不严惩几个最恶劣的？

老鸨，抓了几次不改，一律依法从重判处。
