帝国主义的各种花样直到封锁,其目的在于迫我就范,我们的斗争也在于迫使帝国主义就范。
All the imperialists' tricks, including the blockade, are designed to force us to submit.
Similarly, our struggle is aimed at forcing the imperialists to submit.
我们绝不会就帝国主义之范,而一个多月的经验看出,帝国主义就我之范亦非易事。
We will never give in, and the experience of the past month or so demonstrates that it will not be easy to force the imperialists to submit, either.
这一时期双方斗争实际上都是试探的性质,直到英美摊出封锁的牌。
Actually, the struggle between the two sides during this period was of an exploratory nature until Britain and the United States brought the blockade into play.
封锁,在目前说来,虽增加我们不少困难,但对我仍属有利,即使不封锁,我们许多困难也是不能解决的。
Although the blockade has caused us more than a few problems, it also has a beneficial side.
Even without the blockade, we still have many unsolvable problems.
但封锁太久了,对我则是极不利的。
However, the blockade will do enormous harm to us if it lasts too long.
打破封锁之道,毛主席强调从军事上迅速占领两广云贵川康青宁诸省,尽量求得早日占领沿海各岛及台湾。
In order to break it, Chairman Mao stressed the need for a swift military occupation of Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Xikang, Qinghai and Ningxia provinces, and an early occupation of the offshore islands and Taiwan.
同时我们提出的外交政策的一面倒,愈早表现于行动则对我愈有利(毛主席说,这样是主动的倒,免得将来被动的倒);内部政策强调认真的从自力更生打算,不但叫,而且认真着手做(毛主席说,更主要的从长远的新民主主义建设着眼来提出这个问题),毛主席说这两条很好,与中央精神一致。
At the same time, the sooner we carry out our foreign policy of leaning to one side, the more favorable it will be for us (Chairman Mao says we are leaning to one side on our own accord now to avoid being maneuvered into leaning to one side in the future).
As regards our domestic policy, we must stress the need for conscientiously relying on our own efforts; we should not just call for it but should earnestly set about doing it (Chairman Mao says it is even more important for us to adopt this policy from the perspective of the long-term building of a new democracy).
He says that these two policies are sound and in line with the intentions of the Central Committee.
我们这样做,即占领全国、一面倒和自力更生,不但可以立于坚固的基础之上,而且才有可能迫使帝国主义就我之范。
By doing so, that is, by occupying the whole of China, leaning to one side and relying on ourselves, we can not only lay a solid foundation for ourselves, but also compel the imperialists to yield to us.
