第三期是由翻译系学生党员郑晓梅为大家继续朗读的《共产党宣言》第一章节内容,有关资本主义社会关系和生产关系的论述部分。
The bourgeoisie, wherever it has got the upper hand, has put an end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations. It has pitilessly torn asunder the motley feudal ties that bound man to his “natural superiors”, and had left remaining no other nexus between man and man than naked self-interest, than callous “cash payment”. It has drowned the most heavenly ecstasies of religious fervor, of chivalrous enthusiasms, of philistine sentimentalism, in the icy water of egotistical calculation. It had resolved personal worth into exchange value, and in place of the numberless indefeasible chartered freedom — Free Trade. In one word,for exploitation, veiled by religious and political illusions, it has substituted naked, shameless, direct, brutal exploitation.
资产阶级在它已经取得了统治的地方把一切封建的、宗法的和田园诗般的关系都破坏了。它无情地斩断了把人们束缚于天然尊长的形形色色的封建羁绊,它使人与人之间除了赤裸裸的利害关系,除了冷酷无情的“现金交易”,就再也没有任何别的联系了。它把宗教虔诚、骑士热忱、小市民伤感这些情感的神圣发作,淹没在利己主义打算的冰水之中。它把人的尊严变成了交换价值,用一种没有良心的贸易自由代替了无数特许的和自力挣得的自由。总而言之,它用公开的、无耻的、直接的、露骨的剥削代替了由宗教幻想和政治幻想掩盖着的剥削。
The bourgeoisie has stripped of its halo every occupation hitherto honoured and looked up to with reverent awe. It has converted the physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its paid wage labourers.
资产阶级抹去了一切向来受人尊敬和令人敬畏的职业的神圣光环。它把医生、律师、教士、诗人和学者变成了它出钱招雇的雇佣劳动者。
The bourgeoisie has torn away from the family its sentimental veil, and has reduced the family relation to a mere money relation. The bourgeoisie has disclosed how it came to pass that the brutal display of vigour in the Middle Ages, which reactionaries so much admire, found its fitting complement in the most slothful indolence. It has been the first to show what man's activity can bring about. It has accomplished wonders far surpassing Egyptian pyramids, Roman aqueducts, and Gothic cathedrals; it has conducted expeditions that put in the shade all former Exoduses of nations and crusades.
资产阶级撕下了罩在家庭关系上的温情脉脉的面纱,把这种关系变成了纯粹的金钱关系。资产阶级揭示了,在中世纪深受反动派称许的那种人力的野蛮使用,是以极端怠惰作为相应补充的。它第一个证明了,人的活动能够取得什么样的成就。它创造了完全不同于埃及金字塔、罗马水道和哥特式教堂的奇迹;它完成了完全不同于民族大迁徙和十字军征讨的远征。
The bourgeoisie cannot exist without constantly revolutionising the instruments of production, and thereby the relations of production, and with them the whole relations of society. Conservation of the old modes of production in unaltered form, was, on the contrary, the first condition of existence for all earlier industrial classes. Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.
资产阶级除非对生产工具,从而对生产关系,从而对全部社会关系不断地进行革命,否则就不能生存下去。反之,原封不动地保持旧的生产方式,却是过去的一切工业阶级生存的首要条件。生产的不断变革,一切社会状况不停的动荡,永远的不安定和变动,这就是资产阶级时代不同于过去一切时代的地方。一切固定的僵化的关系以及与之相适应的素被尊崇的观念和见解都被消除了,一切新形成的关系等不到固定下来就陈旧了。一切等级的和固定的东西都烟消云散了,一切神圣的东西都被亵渎了。人们终于不得不用冷静的眼光来看他们的生活地位、他们的互相关系。
The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the whole surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connexions everywhere.
不断扩大产品销路的需要,驱使资产阶级奔走于全球各地。它必须到处落户,到处开发,到处建立联系。
The bourgeoisie has through its exploitation of the world-market given a cosmopolitan character to production and consumption in every country. To the great chagrin of Reactionists, it has drawn from under the feet of industry the national ground on which it stood. All old-established national industries have been destroyed or are daily being destroyed. They are dislodged by new industries, whose introduction becomes a life and death question for all civilised nations, by industries that no longer work up indigenous raw material, but raw material drawn from the remotest zones; industries whose products are consumed, not only at home, but in every quarter of the globe. In place of the old wants, satisfied by the productions of the country, we find new wants, requiring for their satisfaction the products of distant lands and climes. In place of the old local and national seclusion and self-sufficiency, we have intercourse in every direction, universal inter-dependence of nations. And as in material, so also in intellectual production. The intellectual creations of individual nations become common property. National one-sidedness and narrow-mindedness become more and more impossible, and from the numerous national and local literatures, there arises a world literature.
资产阶级,由于开拓了世界市场,使一切国家的生产和消费都成为世界性的了。使反动派大为惋惜的是,资产阶级挖掉了工业脚下的民族基础。古老的民族工业被消灭了,并且每天都还在被消灭。它们被新的工业排挤掉了,新的工业的建立已经成为了一切文明民族的生命攸关的问题;这些工业所加工的,已经不是本地的原料,而是来自极其遥远的地区的原料;它们的产品不仅供本国消费,而且同时供世界各地消费。旧的、靠本国产品来满足的需要,被新的、要靠极其遥远的国家和地带的产品来满足的需要所代替了。过去那种地方的和民族的自给自足和闭关自守状态,被各民族的各方面的互相往来和各方面的互相依赖所代替了。物质的生产是如此,精神的生产也是如此。各民族的精神产品成了公共的财产。民族的片面性和局限性日益成为不可能,于是由许多种民族的和地方的文学形成了一种世界的文学。
The bourgeoisie, by the rapid improvement of all instruments of production, by the immensely facilitated means of communication, draws all, even the most barbarian, nations into civilisation. The cheap prices of its commodities are the heavy artillery with which it batters down all Chinese walls, with which it forces the barbarians' intensely obstinate hatred of foreigners to capitulate. It compels all nations, on pain of extinction, to adopt the bourgeois mode of production; it compels them to introduce what it calls civilisation into their midst, i.e., to become bourgeois themselves. In one word, it creates a world after its own image.
资产阶级,由于一切生产工具的迅速改进,由于交通的极其便利,把一切民族甚至最野蛮的民族都卷到文明中来了。它的商品的低廉价格,是它用来摧毁一切万里长城、征服野蛮人最顽强的仇外心理的重炮。它迫使一切民族——如果它们不想灭亡的话——采用资产阶级的生产方式;它迫使它们在自己那里推行所谓的文明,即变成资产者。一句话,它按照自己的面貌为自己创造出一个世界。
The bourgeoisie has subjected the country to the rule of the towns. It has created enormous cities, has greatly increased the urban population as compared with the rural, and has thus rescued a considerable part of the population from the idiocy of rural life. Just as it has made the country dependent on the towns, so it has made barbarian and semi-barbarian countries dependent on the civilised ones, nations of peasants on nations of bourgeois, the East on the West.
资产阶级农村屈服于城市的统治。它创立了巨大的城市,使城市人口比农村人口大大增加起来,因而使很大一部分居民脱离了农村生活的愚昧状态。正像它使农村从属于城市一样,它使未开化和半开化的国家从属于文明的国家,使农民的民族从属于资产阶级的民族,使东方从属于西方。
The bourgeoisie keeps more and more doing away with the scattered state of the population, of the means of production, and of property. It has agglomerated production, and has concentrated property in a few hands. The necessary consequence of this was political centralisation. Independent, or but loosely connected provinces, with separate interests, laws, governments and systems of taxation, became lumped together into one nation, with one government, one code of laws, one national class-interest, one frontier and one customs-tariff.
资产阶级日甚一日地消灭生产资料、财产和人口的分散状态。它使人口密集起来,使生产资料集中起来,使财产聚集在少数人的手里。由此必然产生的结果就是政治的集中。各自独立的、几乎只有同盟关系的、各有不同利益、不同法律、不同政府、不同关税的各个地区,现在已经结合为一个拥有统一的政府、统一的法律、统一的民族阶级利益和统一的关税和统一的民族。
The bourgeoisie, during its rule of scarce one hundred years, has created more massive and more colossal productive forces than have all preceding generations together. Subjection of Nature's forces to man, machinery, application of chemistry to industry and agriculture, steam-navigation, railways, electric telegraphs, clearing of whole continents for cultivation, canalisation of rivers, whole populations conjured out of the ground—what earlier century had even a presentiment that such productive forces slumbered in the lap of social labour?
资产阶级在它的不到一百年的阶级统治中所创造出的生产力,比过去一切世代创造的全部生产力还要多,还要大。自然力的征服,机器的采用,化学在工业和农业中的应用,轮船的行驶,铁路的通行,电报的使用,整个整个大陆的开垦,河川的通航,仿佛用法术从地下呼唤出来的大量人口——过去哪一个世纪料想到社会劳动里蕴藏有这样的生产力呢?
We see then: the means of production and of exchange, on whose foundation the bourgeoisie built itself up, were generated in feudal society. At a certain stage in the development of these means of production and of exchange, the conditions under which feudal society produced and exchanged, the feudal organisation of agriculture and manufacturing industry, in one word, the feudal relations of property became no longer compatible with the already developed productive forces; they became so many fetters. They had to be burst asunder; they were burst asunder.
由此可见,资产阶级赖以形成的生产资料和交换手段,是在封建社会里造成的。在这些生产资料和交换手段发展的一定阶段上,封建社会的生产和交换在其中进行的关系,封建的农业和工厂手工业组织,一句话,封建的所有制关系,就不再适应已经发展的生产力了。这种关系已经在阻碍生产而不是促进生产了。它变成了束缚生产的桎梏。它必须被炸毁,它已经被炸毁了。
Into their place stepped free competition, accompanied by a social and political constitution adapted to it, and by the economical and political sway of the bourgeois class.
起而代之的是自由竞争以及与自由竞争相适应的社会制度和政治制度、资产阶级的经济统治和政治统治。
