§*这是毛泽东同志审阅周恩来同志在一九五三年夏季全国财经工作会议上的结论时所作的重要批示。
#§Important directive written by Comrade Mao Tsetung when he went over the summing-up to be made by Comrade Chou En-lai at the National Conference on Financial and Economic Work held in the summer of 1953.
§从中华人民共和国成立，到社会主义改造基本完成，这是一个过渡时期。
#§The time between the founding of the People's Republic of China and the basic completion of socialist transformation is a period of transition.
党在这个过渡时期的总路线和总任务，是要在一个相当长的时期内，基本上实现国家工业化和对农业、手工业、资本主义工商业的社会主义改造。
# The Party's general line or general task for the transition period is basically to accomplish the country's industrialization and the socialist transformation of agriculture, handicrafts and capitalist industry and commerce over a fairly long period of time.
这条总路线，应是照耀我们各项工作的灯塔， 各项工作离开它，就要犯右倾或“左”倾的错误。
# This general line should be the beacon illuminating all our work, and wherever we deviate from it, we shall make Right or "Left" mistakes.
§这条总路线的许多方针政策，在一九四九年三月的党的二中全会的决议里就已提出，并已作了原则性的解决。
#§Many policies under this general line were already set forth and decided upon in principle in the resolution adopted at the Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee held in March 1949.
可是许多同志却不愿意遵照二中全会的规定去工作，喜欢在某些问题上另闹一套不符合于二中全会规定的东西，甚至公然违反二中全会的原则。
# Nevertheless, many comrades were not inclined to work in accordance with the decisions of the Second Plenary Session and on some matters preferred to go their own way contrary to the session's decisions or even openly violated its principles.
