《译心向党》第五期——《青年运动的方向》
今天是五四运动的二十周年纪念日,我们延安的全体青年在这里开这个纪念大会,我就来讲一讲关于中国青年运动的方向的几个问题。
Today is the twentieth anniversary of the May 4th Movement, and the youth of Yan'an are all gathered here for this commemoration meeting. I shall therefore take the occasion to speak on some questions concerningthe orientation of the youth movement in China.
第四,我再讲到青年运动。在二十年前的今天,由学生们参加的历史上叫做五四运动的大事件,在中国发生了,这是一个有重大意义的运动。“五四”以来,中国青年们起了什么作用呢?起了某种先锋队的作用,就是站在革命队伍的前头。那么主力军是谁呢?就是工农大众。所以全国知识青年和学生青年一定要和广大的工农群众结合在一块,和他们变成一体,才能形成一支强有力的军队。这是一支几万万人的军队呵!有了这支大军,才能攻破敌人的坚固阵地,才能攻破敌人的最后堡垒。
Fourthly, to return to the youth movement. On this very day twenty years ago there occurred in China the great historical event known as the May 4th Movement, in which the students par-ticipated; it was a movement of tremendous significance. What role have China's young people played since the May 4th Movement?In a way they have played vanguard role a fact recognized by everybody except the die-hards. So what is a vanguard role? It means taking the lead and marching in the forefront of the revolutionary ranks. What then is the main force? The workers and peasants. Therefore, the young intellectuals and students throughout the country must unite with the broad masses of workers and peasants and become one with them, and only then can a mighty force be created. A force of hundreds of millions of people! Only with this huge force can the enemy's strongholds be taken and his last for-tresses smashed.
最后,第六,我要说到延安的青年运动。延安的青年运动是全国青年运动的模范。延安的青年运动的方向,就是全国的青年运动的方向。这还不算全国的模范吗?延安的青年们不但本身团结,而且和工农群众相结合,这一点更加是全国的模范。延安的青年们干了些什么呢?他们在学习革命的理论,研究抗日救国的道理和方法。他们在实行生产运动,开发了千亩万亩的荒地。
Sixthly and lastly, I want to speak about the youth movement in Yan'an. It is the model for the youth movement throughout the country. The direction it is taking is in fact the orientation for the youth movement of the entire country. The youth in Yan'an, besides being united among themselves, have integrated themselves with the masses of workers and peasants, and more than anything else this makes you a model for the whole country. What have you been doing? You have been learning the theory of revolution and studying the principles and methods for resisting Japan and saving the nation. You have been carrying out the campaign for production and have reclaimed thousands of mu of waste land.
