Reform and opening up are new undertakings, so we have no precedent to go by; all we can do is to proceed in the light of the specific conditions in our country. Our experience indicates that is should be beneficial to go a little faster.
例4：总之，几年的实践证明，我们搞改革、开放的路子是走对了。
In short, our achievement in the last few years have proved the correctness of our policies of reform and of opening to the outside world.
例5：当然，随着实践的发展，该完善的完善，该修补的修补，但总的要坚定不移。

例6：社会主义中国应该用实践向世界表明，中国反对霸权主义、强权政治，永不称霸。
Socilist China should show the world with its actions that it is opposed to hegemonism and power politics and will never seek hegemony.
We should go a step further to integrate science and technology with economic development. By this I mean that having established the principle of integrating them and come to a correct understanding of the importance of doing so, we should now tackle the system for managing science and technology.
例8：就我们国内来说， 什么是中国最大的政治？ 四个现代化就是中国最大的政治。
What is the most significant political task for China? It is the achievement of the four modernization.
How are we go about achieving these goals? We must observe the laws governing socio-economic development and follow an open policy both internationally and domestically.
这几个例子主要说明动词和主语或者宾语搭配的问题。例10里的“管”字很不好译，译文若仍以 the basic line 做主语，很难找到合适的动词搭配。改用we做主语，问题就很好的解决了。例11“经验”后面接“告诉”，但在英语里experience可以teach，可以show，可以demonstrate，可以indicate，若让它tell，就显得勉强了一点。例12原文是“尊重。。。。规律”，译文与其说respect，就不如说observe了。
