《我们党的—些历史经验》(2)(中英对照)
SOME EXPERIENCES IN OUR PARTY’S HISTORY
人不要怕犯错误。
Communists should not be afraid of making mistakes.
错误有两重性。
Mistakes have a dual character.
错误一方面损害党,损害人民;另一方面是好教员,很好地教育了党,教育了人民,对革命有好处。
On the one hand mistakes harm the Party and the people; on the other they serve as good teachers, giving both the Party and the people a good education, and this benefits the revolution.
失败是成功之母。
Failure is the mother of success.
失败如果没有什么好处,为什么是成功之母?
If there is nothing good about failure, how can it be the mother of success?
错误犯得太多了,一定要反过来。这是马克思主义。
When too many mistakes are made, there is bound to be a turn-about. That is Marxi***.
“物极必反”,错误成了堆,光明就会到来。
“Things turn into their opposites when they reach the extreme”; when mistakes pile up, light is not far off.
