要多写些从思想上、理论上论述坚持四项基本原则的文章。
More articles should be written to explain, both ideologically and theoretically, the importance of adhering to the Four Cardinal Principles.
反对和否定四项基本原则，有来自“左”的，有来自右的，写文章要注意到这两个方面。
Opposition to these principles and negation of them come from both the “Left” and the Right, and we should take both into consideration when writing articles.
第三，我们总是讲，要坚持实事求是，理论和实际相结合，一切从实际出发。
Third, we have always said that it is necessary to stick to the principles of seeking truth from facts, integrating theory with practice and proceeding from reality in all things.
我们写建国以来党的若干历史问题的决议，要实事求是，要很好地总结“左”的教训。
In drafting the “Resolution on Certain Questions in the History of Our Party Since the Founding of the People's Republic of China”, we should seek truth from facts and conscientiously draw lessons from the “Left” mistakes.
一九五七年的反右派斗争，我多次讲过，那个时候确实有人杀气腾腾，但是我们处理得过了，扩大化了。
As regards the anti-Rightist struggle of 1957, I have said more than once that there really were some persons then who made vicious attacks, but that we for our part over-reacted and unduly broadened the scope of the struggle.
当然，不能把当时所有被批判的人都说成什么问题、什么错误都没有。
Of course, it cannot be said that all those who were criticized were completely correct, or that they had made no mistakes.
我看对反右派斗争，还是两句话：一句是必要的,一句是扩大化了。
In my opinion the anti-Rightist struggle can still be summed up as follows: It was necessary, but it was broadened too much.
大跃进开始时，有哪个人反对过？
When the Great Leap Forward started, was there anyone who opposed it?
后来有些同志发觉有问题，毛泽东同志也发觉有问题。
But later, some comrades, including Comrade Mao Zedong himself, found that there was something wrong with it.
他召集的两次郑州会议，就是纠正大跃进中“左”的错误的。
The two meetings Comrade Mao convened in Zhengzhou were precisely for the purpose of rectifying the “Left” errors in the Great Leap Forward.
“文化大革命”前的十七年，基本上是做得对的，但是有曲折，有错误。
During the 17 years preceding the “cultural revolution” our work, in the main, proceeded along a correct path, though there were twists and turns and mistakes.
责任不只是毛泽东同志个人的，我们这些人也有责任。
Comrade Mao Zedong should not be held solely responsible for everything; we ourselves should share the responsibility.
我们要实事求是地总结历史的经验教训。
We should sum up historical experience and draw the necessary lessons in accordance with the principle of seeking truth from facts.
解决部队的思想问题，也要实事求是。
To solve ideological problems in the army, we also need to seek truth from facts.
要针对每个单位、每个人的不同情况去做思想工作。
Ideological work should be carried out according to the particular circumstances of each unit and each individual.
第四，对军队中“左”的影响不能忽视。
Fourth, we should not overlook the lingering “Left” influence in the army.
部队一些干部包括有的老干部，对三中全会以来的政策不理解，有的以为是搞资本主义，这主要是来自“左”的影响。
Some army cadres, including a number with long service behind them, haven't understood the policies applied since the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee, which they regard as capitalist.
This is mainly because they have been influenced by ``Left'' ideology.
但也不是没有资产阶级腐朽思想的影响，比如对靡靡之音和社会上一些坏风气，有些人就喜欢。
However, it cannot be said that the army is free from the influence of decadent bourgeois ideas.
Some people, for example, welcome decadent music and approve of certain undesirable forms of social behaviour.
关于“三支两军”问题，你们研究一下。
As for the “three supports and two military's”, I suggest you give them some study.
只讲一句话不好，光戴高帽子不好，一定要讲两句话。
It's no good to say only one thing about them, that is, to simply heap praise on them.
We must say two things.
第一句话：当时军队不出面不能维持局面，出面是正确的，“三支两军”是起了积极作用的。
First, that at the time it was correct for the army to go to the civilian units and deal with the situations there, which were otherwise uncontrollable.
So the “three supports and two military's” did prove useful.
第二句话：“三支两军”给军队造成的危害是很大的，带来了许多坏的东西，对军队的威信损害很大。
But second, they also did great harm to the army, for in their wake they brought many bad things that greatly detracted from the army's prestige.
比如派性，还有一些“左”的东西，相当大的成分是从那里来的。
Among other things, they were responsible for much of the factionalism and some “Left” notions and practices.
军队这几年做了许多工作，抓了路线、方针、政策的教育，干部的思想情况有了变化。
In recent years, the army has done a lot of educational work.
It has paid great attention to education concerning line, principles and policies, which has led to a positive change in the cadres' thinking.
