老三篇为人民服务原文及翻译

为人民服务

我们的我党和我党所领导的八路军、新四军，是革命的队伍。我们这个队伍完全是为着解放人民的，是彻底地为人民的利益工作的。张思德同志就是我们这个队伍中的一个同志。

人总是要死的，但死的意义有不同。中国古时候有个文学家叫做司马迁的说过：“人固有一死，或重于泰山，或轻于鸿毛。”为人民利益而死，就比泰山还重；替法西斯卖力，替剥削人民和压迫人民的人去死，就比鸿毛还轻。张思德同志是为人民利益而死的，他的死是比泰山还要重的。

因为我们是为人民服务的，所以，我们如果有缺点，就不怕别人批评指出。不管是什么人，谁向我们指出都行。只要你说得对，我们就改正。你说的办法对人民有好处，我们就照你的办。“精兵简政”这一条意见，就是党外人士李鼎铭先生提出来的；他提得好，对人民有好处，我们就采用了。只要我们为人民的利益坚持好的，为人民的利益改正错的，我们这个队伍就一定会兴旺起来。

我们都是来自五湖四海，为了一个共同的革命目标，走到一起来了。我们还要和全国大多数人民走这一条路。我们今天已经领导着有九千一百万人口的根据地，但是还不够，还要更大些，才能取得全民族的解放。我们的同志在困难的时候，要看到成绩，要看到光明，要提高我们的勇气。中国人民正在受难，我们有责任解救他们，我们要努力奋斗。要奋斗就会有牺牲，死人的事是经常发生的。但是我们想到人民的利益，想到大多数人民的痛苦，我们为人民而死，就是死得其所。不过，我们应当尽量地减少那些不必要的牺牲。我们的干部要关心每一个战士，一切革命队伍的人都要互相关心，互相爱护，互相帮助。

今后我们的队伍里，不管死了谁，不管是炊事员，是战士，只要他是做过一些有益的工作的，我们都要给他送葬，开追悼会。这要成为一个制度。这个方法也要介绍到老百姓那里去。村上的人死了，开个追悼会。用这样的方法，寄托我们的哀思，使整个人民团结起来。

为人民服务（英文翻译）

Serve the People

Our Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army led by the Party are revolutionary forces. Our team is entirely dedicated to liberating the people and working wholeheartedly for the interests of the people. Comrade Zhang Side is a member of our team.

People are destined to die, but the meaning of death differs. An ancient Chinese litterateur named Sima Qian once said, "All men are mortal, but their deaths can be heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a swan's feather." To die for the interests of the people is heavier than Mount Tai; to die for fascists, for those who exploit and oppress the people, is lighter than a swan's feather. Comrade Zhang Side died for the interests of the people, and his death is heavier than Mount Tai.

Since we serve the people, we are not afraid of criticism and pointers from others if we have shortcomings. It doesn't matter who points them out to us. As long as you are right, we will correct ourselves. If your proposed solution benefits the people, we will adopt it. The suggestion of "streamlining the administration and reducing personnel" was put forward by Mr. Li Dingming, a non-Party member. He made a good suggestion that benefits the people, so we adopted it. As long as we uphold what is good for the people's interests and correct what is wrong for their interests, our team will surely prosper.

We all come from all corners of the country and have come together for a common revolutionary goal. We will also follow this path with the majority of the people in the country. Today, we already lead a base area with a population of ninety-one million, but it is not enough. We need it to be even larger to achieve the liberation of the entire nation. In times of difficulty, our comrades should see our achievements, see the light, and boost our courage. The Chinese people are suffering, and it is our responsibility to rescue them. We must strive and work hard. To strive means to sacrifice, and death is a common occurrence. However, when we think about the interests of the people and the pain of the majority, dying for the people is dying with a purpose. Nevertheless, we should try our best to reduce those unnecessary sacrifices. Our cadres should care for every soldier, and all members of the revolutionary team should care for, love, and help each other.

In the future, no matter who dies in our team, whether it is a cook or a soldier, as long as they have done some beneficial work, we will hold a funeral and a memorial meeting for them. This should become a system. This method should also be introduced to the common people. When someone in the village dies, a memorial meeting should be held. By using such methods, we can express our mourning and unite the entire people.
