昨天在毛主席那里还谈了这个问题，他赞成这个意见：第一，现在的主要问题是把毛泽东思想用得庸俗了，什么东西都说成是毛泽东思想。
Yesterday I mentioned this matter to Chairman Mao and he agreed with the following views.
First, the major problem at present is that Mao Zedong Thought has been vulgarized.
Every success is being attributed to Mao Zedong Thought.
因为按照我们对毛泽东思想的正确理解，一个是要坚持马克思列宁主义，保卫马克思列宁主义；一个是要发展马克思列宁主义。
Because Mao Zedong Thought, if we understand it correctly, involves two aspects: one, upholding and safeguarding Marxism-Leninism, and the other, developing Marxism-Leninism.
毛泽东思想同马克思列宁主义是一回事。
Mao Zedong Thought and Marxism-Leninism are one and the same thing.
毛泽东思想坚持了马克思列宁主义的普遍真理，并且在马克思列宁主义的宝库里面增添了很多新的内容。
Mao Zedong Thought not only adheres to the universal truth of Marxism-Leninism, but also adds much new content to the treasure house of Marxism-Leninism.
所以，不要把毛泽东思想同马克思列宁主义割裂开来，好像它是另外一个东西。
Therefore, we should not separate Mao Zedong Thought from Marxism-Leninism as if the two were different things.
我们在宣传毛泽东思想的时候，一定要按照中央的指示，把“学习马克思列宁主义”和“学习毛泽东同志的著作”并提。
In disseminating Mao Zedong Thought, we must follow the directive of the Central Committee, attaching equal importance to “studying Marxism-Leninism” and “studying the works of Comrade Mao Zedong”.
当然，也可以单独提毛泽东思想，但是一定不要忘记了马克思列宁主义，不要丢掉这个最根本的东西。
Of course, we may mention Mao Zedong Thought alone, but we should never forget the fundamental teaching, Marxism-Leninism.
最近，有些同志提出，要以毛泽东思想为纲学习政治经济学。
Recently some comrades suggested that Mao Zedong Thought serve as the guide for the study of political economies.
当然，毛泽东同志在政治经济学上是有发展的，但是，讲初期的发展时期的资本主义，总是马克思和恩格斯，总是《资本论》；讲帝国主义，总还是列宁的《帝国主义是资本主义的最高阶段》；讲社会主义，列宁和斯大林都有，毛泽东同志也有重要的发展。
It is true that Comrade Mao Zedong has developed the theory on political economics.
However, the theories of Marx and Engels or Capital should always be used as the guide for studying capitalism at its initial and developing stages, and Lenin's Imperialism, the Final Stage of Capitalism for studying imperialism.
In the study of socialism, Lenin and Stalin as well as Comrade Mao Zedong have made important contributions to its development.
所以，不能只是讲以毛泽东思想为纲学习政治经济学，否则人家问你研究帝国主义以哪个著作为纲，你怎么答复？
Therefore, Mao Zedong Thought cannot be regarded as the sole guide for studying political economics.
What if someone should ask you which works of Mao Zedong's would best serve as a guide for studying imperialism?
当然，对于帝国主义的论述，毛泽东同志有发展，例如关于帝国主义是纸老虎的论断。
Of course, Comrade Mao Zedong has contributed to the exposition of imperialism, adding such ideas as the thesis that imperialism is a paper tiger.
但是，《资本论》和《帝国主义是资本主义的最高阶段》已经把关于资本主义和帝国主义的基本的理论问题解决了。
However, Capital and Imperialism, the Final Stage of Capitalism have already dealt with the basic theories concerning capitalism and imperialism.
对待毛泽东思想是一个很严肃的原则性的问题，不要庸俗化，庸俗化对我们不利，对国际共产主义运动也不利。
How to regard Mao Zedong Thought is a serious matter of principle.
We should see to it that Mao Zedong Thought is not vulgarized, which would bring harm to ourselves and to the international communist movement.
关于毛泽东思想的宣传，中央已经发了一个指示，准备还要搞点材料，再发个指示。
The Central Committee has issued a directive concerning the dissemination of Mao Zedong Thought.
It will issue another one when more material has been gathered.
一定要把毛泽东思想这个旗帜掌握得好。
The banner of Mao Zedong Thought should be held aloft.
光讲毛泽东思想，不提马克思列宁主义，看起来好像是把毛泽东思想抬高了，实际上是把毛泽东思想的作用降低了。
However, if we lay stress on Mao Zedong Thought to the neglect of Marxism-Leninism, it may seen as if we are building it up, but we are actually diminishing its importance.
还有一个集体领导问题，也要在适当的会议上说一说。
The question of collective leadership should also be discussed at appropriate meetings.
我们党是集体领导，毛泽东同志是这个集体领导的代表人，是我们党的领袖，他的地位和作用同一般的集体领导成员是不同的。
Our Party practices collective leadership, and Comrade Mao Zedong is representative of this collective leadership and leader of our Party.
His position and role are different from those of ordinary members of the collective leadership.
但是，切不可因此把毛泽东同志和党中央分开，应该把毛泽东同志看作是党的集体领导中的一个成员，把他在我们党里头的作用说得合乎实际。
However, we should never separate him from the Central Committee; we should regard him as a member of the Party's collective leadership and appraise his role in the Party in a realistic manner.
他昨天讲，提法要合乎实际，不合实际就站不住脚。
He said yesterday that the wording used for the dissemination of Mao Zedong Thought should accord with reality lest it become untenable.
