　　序 言

　　Preamble

　　中國(guó)是世界上歷史最悠久的國(guó)家之一。中國(guó)各族人民共同創(chuàng)造了光輝燦爛的文化，具有光榮的革命傳統(tǒng)。

　　China is a country with one of the longest histories in the world. The people of all of China’s nationalities have jointly created a culture of grandeur and have a glorious revolutionary tradition.

　　一八四0年以后，封建的中國(guó)逐漸變成半殖民地、半封建的國(guó)家。中國(guó)人民為國(guó)家獨(dú)立、民族解放和民主自由進(jìn)行了前仆后繼的英勇奮斗。

　　After 1840, feudal China was gradually turned into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country. The Chinese people waged many successive heroic struggles for national independence and liberation and for democracy and freedom.

　　二十世紀(jì)，中國(guó)發(fā)生了翻天覆地的偉大歷史變革。

　　Great and earthshaking historical changes have taken place in China in the 20th century.

　　一九一一年孫中山先生領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的辛亥革命，廢除了封建帝制，創(chuàng)立了中華民國(guó)。但是，中國(guó)人民反對(duì)帝國(guó)主義和封建主義的歷史任務(wù)還沒(méi)有完成。

　　The Revolution of 1911, led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, abolished the feudal monarchy and gave birth to the Republic of China. But the historic mission of the Chinese people to overthrow imperialism and feudalism remained unaccomplished.

　　一九四九年，以毛澤東主席為領(lǐng)袖的中國(guó)*領(lǐng)導(dǎo)中國(guó)各族人民，在經(jīng)歷了長(zhǎng)期的艱難曲折的武裝斗爭(zhēng)和其他形式的斗爭(zhēng)以后，終于推翻了帝國(guó)主義、封建主義和官僚資本主義的統(tǒng)治，取得了新民主主義革命的偉大勝利，建立了中華人民共和國(guó)。從此，中國(guó)人民掌握了國(guó)家的權(quán)力，成為國(guó)家的主人。

　　After waging protracted and arduous struggles, armed and otherwise, along a zigzag course, the Chinese people of all nationalities led by the Communist Party of China with Chairman Mao Zedong as its leader ultimately, in 1949, overthrew the rule of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucrat-capitalism, won a great victory in the New-Democratic Revolution and founded the People’s Republic of China. Since then the Chinese people have taken control of state power and become masters of the country.

　　中華人民共和國(guó)成立以后，我國(guó)社會(huì)逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)了由新民主主義到社會(huì)主義的過(guò)渡。

　　After the founding of the People’s Republic, China gradually achieved its transition from a New-Democratic to a socialist society.

　　生產(chǎn)資料私有制的社會(huì)主義改造已經(jīng)完成，人剝削人的制度已經(jīng)消滅，社會(huì)主義制度已經(jīng)確立。

　　The socialist transformation of the private ownership of the means of production has been completed, the system of exploitation of man by man abolished and the socialist system established.

　　工人階級(jí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的、以工農(nóng)聯(lián)盟為基礎(chǔ)的人民民主專(zhuān)政，實(shí)質(zhì)上即無(wú)產(chǎn)階級(jí)專(zhuān)政，得到鞏固和發(fā)展。

　　The people’s democratic dictatorship led by the working class and based on the alliance of workers and peasants, which is in essence the dictatorship of the proletariat, has been consolidated and developed.

　　中國(guó)人民和中國(guó)人民解放軍戰(zhàn)勝了帝國(guó)主義、霸權(quán)主義的侵略、破壞和武裝挑釁，維護(hù)了國(guó)家的獨(dú)立和安全，增強(qiáng)了國(guó)防。

　　The Chinese people and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army have defeated imperialist and hegemonist aggression, sabotage and armed provocations and have thereby safeguarded China’s national independence and security and strengthened its national defence.

　　經(jīng)濟(jì)建設(shè)取得了重大的成就，獨(dú)立的、比較完整的社會(huì)主義工業(yè)體系已經(jīng)基本形成，農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)顯著提高。教育、科學(xué)、文化等事業(yè)有了很大的發(fā)展，社會(huì)主義思想教育取得了明顯的成效。廣大人民的生活有了較大的改善。

　　Major successes have been achieved in economic development. An independent and relatively comprehensive socialist system of industry has basically been established. There has been a marked increase in agricultural production. Significant advances have been made in educational, scientific and cultural undertakings, while education in socialist ideology has produced noteworthy results. The life of the people has improved considerably.

　　中國(guó)新民主主義革命的勝利和社會(huì)主義事業(yè)的成就，都是中國(guó)*領(lǐng)導(dǎo)中國(guó)各族人民，在馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想的指引下，堅(jiān)持真理，修正錯(cuò)誤，戰(zhàn)勝許多艱難險(xiǎn)阻而取得的。今后國(guó)家的根本任務(wù)是集中力量進(jìn)行社會(huì)主義現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)。中國(guó)各族人民將繼續(xù)在中國(guó)*領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，在馬克思列寧主義、毛澤東思想指引下，堅(jiān)持人民民主專(zhuān)政，堅(jiān)持社會(huì)主義道路，不斷完善社會(huì)主義的各項(xiàng)制度，發(fā)展社會(huì)主義民主，健全社會(huì)主義法制，自力更生，艱苦奮斗，逐步實(shí)現(xiàn)工業(yè)、農(nóng)業(yè)、國(guó)防和科學(xué)技術(shù)的現(xiàn)代化，把我國(guó)建設(shè)成為高度文明、高度民主的社會(huì)主義國(guó)家。

　　Both the victory in China’s New-Democratic Revolution and the successes in its socialist cause have been achieved by the Chinese people of all nationalities, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, by upholding truth, correcting errors and surmounting numerous difficulties and hardships. The basic task of the nation in the years to come is to concentrate its effort on socialist modernization. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China and the guidance of Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought, the Chinese people of all nationalities will continue to adhere to the people’s democratic dictatorship and the socialist road, steadily improve socialist institutions, develop socialist democracy, improve the socialist legal system, and work hard and self-reliantly to modernize the country’s industry, agriculture, national defence and science and technology step by step to turn China into a socialist country with a high level of culture and democracy.

　　在我國(guó)，剝削階級(jí)作為階級(jí)已經(jīng)消滅，但是階級(jí)斗爭(zhēng)還將在一定范圍內(nèi)長(zhǎng)期存在。中國(guó)人民對(duì)敵視和破壞我國(guó)社會(huì)主義制度的國(guó)內(nèi)外的敵對(duì)勢(shì)力和敵對(duì)分子，必須進(jìn)行斗爭(zhēng)。

　　The exploiting classes as such have been abolished in our country.However, class struggle will continue to exist within certain bounds for a long time to come. The Chinese people must fight against those forces and elements, both at home and abroad, that are hostile to China’s socialist system and try to undermine it.

　　臺(tái)灣是中華人民共和國(guó)的神圣領(lǐng)土的一部分。完成統(tǒng)一祖國(guó)的大業(yè)是包括臺(tái)灣同胞在內(nèi)的全中國(guó)人民的神圣職責(zé)。

　　Taiwan is part of the sacred territory of the People’s Republic of China. It is the inviolable duty of all Chinese people, including our compatriots in Taiwan, to accomplish the great task of reunifying the motherland.

　　社會(huì)主義的建設(shè)事業(yè)必須依靠工人、農(nóng)民和知識(shí)分子，團(tuán)結(jié)一切可以團(tuán)結(jié)的力量。在長(zhǎng)期的革命和建設(shè)過(guò)程中，已經(jīng)結(jié)成由中國(guó)*領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的，有各民主黨派和各人民團(tuán)體參加的，包括全體社會(huì)主義勞動(dòng)者、擁護(hù)社會(huì)主義的愛(ài)國(guó)者和擁護(hù)祖國(guó)統(tǒng)一的愛(ài)國(guó)者的廣泛的愛(ài)國(guó)統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線，這個(gè)統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線將繼續(xù)鞏固和發(fā)展。中國(guó)人民政治協(xié)商會(huì)議是有廣泛代表性的統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線組織，過(guò)去發(fā)揮了重要的歷史作用，今后在國(guó)家政治生活、社會(huì)生活和對(duì)外友好活動(dòng)中，在進(jìn)行社會(huì)主義現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)、維護(hù)國(guó)家的統(tǒng)一和團(tuán)結(jié)的斗爭(zhēng)中，將進(jìn)一步發(fā)揮它的重要作用。

　　In building socialism it is essential to rely on workers, peasants and intellectuals and to unite all forces that can be united. In the long years of revolution and construction, there has been formed under the leadership of the Communist Party of China a broad patriotic united front which is composed of the democratic parties and people’s organizations and which embraces all socialist working people, all patriots who support socialism and all patriots who stand for the reunification of the motherland. This united front will continue to be consolidated and developed. The Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a broadly based representative organization of the united front which has played a significant historical role, will play a still more important role in the country’s political and social life, in promoting friendship with other countries and in the struggle for socialist modernization and for the reunification and unity of the country.

　　中華人民共和國(guó)是全國(guó)各族人民共同締造的統(tǒng)一的多民族國(guó)家。平等、團(tuán)結(jié)、互助的社會(huì)主義民族關(guān)系已經(jīng)確立，并將繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)。

　　The People’s Republic of China is a unitary multinational state created jointly by the people of all its nationalities. Socialist relations of equality, unity and mutual assistance have been established among the nationalities and will continue to be strengthened.

　　在維護(hù)民族團(tuán)結(jié)的斗爭(zhēng)中，要反對(duì)大民族主義，主要是大漢族主義，也要反對(duì)地方民族主義。國(guó)家盡一切努力，促進(jìn)全國(guó)各民族的共同繁榮。

　　In the struggle to safeguard the unity of the nationalities, it is necessary to combat big- nation chauvinism, mainly Han chauvinism, and to combat local national chauvinism. The state will do its utmost to promote the common prosperity of all the nationalities. China’s achievements in revolution and construction are inseparable from the support of the people of the world.

　　中國(guó)革命和建設(shè)的成就是同世界人民的支持分不開(kāi)的。中國(guó)的前途是同世界的前途緊密地聯(lián)系在一起的。中國(guó)堅(jiān)持獨(dú)立自主的對(duì)外政策，堅(jiān)持互相尊重主權(quán)和領(lǐng)土完整、互不侵犯、互不干涉內(nèi)政、平等互利、和平共處的五項(xiàng)原則，發(fā)展同各國(guó)的外交關(guān)系和經(jīng)濟(jì)、文化的交流;

　　The future of China is closely linked to the future of the world. China consistently carries out an independent foreign policy and adheres to the five principles of mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression, non-interference in each other’s internal affairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence in developing diplomatic relations and economic and cultural exchanges with other countries.

　　堅(jiān)持反對(duì)帝國(guó)主義、霸權(quán)主義、殖民主義，加強(qiáng)同世界各國(guó)人民的團(tuán)結(jié)，支持被壓迫民族和發(fā)展中國(guó)家爭(zhēng)取和維護(hù)民族獨(dú)立、發(fā)展民族經(jīng)濟(jì)的正義斗爭(zhēng)，為維護(hù)世界和平和促進(jìn)人類(lèi)進(jìn)步事業(yè)而努力。

　　China consistently opposes imperialism, hegemonism and colonialism, works to strengthen unity with the people of other countries, supports the oppressed nations and the developing countries in their just struggle to win and preserve national independence and develop their national economies, and strives to safeguard world peace and promote the cause of human progress.

　　本憲法以法律的形式確認(rèn)了中國(guó)各族人民奮斗的成果，規(guī)定了國(guó)家的根本制度和根本任務(wù)，是國(guó)家的根本法，具有最高的法律效力。

　　This Constitution, in legal form, affirms the achievements of the struggles of the Chinese people of all nationalities and defines the basic system and basic tasks of the state; it is the fundamental law of the state and has supreme legal authority.

　　全國(guó)各族人民、一切國(guó)家機(jī)關(guān)和武裝力量、各政黨和各社會(huì)團(tuán)體、各企業(yè)事業(yè)組織，都必須以憲法為根本的活動(dòng)準(zhǔn)則，并且負(fù)有維護(hù)憲法尊嚴(yán)、保證憲法實(shí)施的職責(zé)。

　　The people of all nationalities, all state organs, the armed forces, all political parties and public organizations and all enterprises and institutions in the country must take the Constitution as the basic standard of conduct, and they have the duty to uphold the dignity of the Constitution and ensure its implementation.
