小康社會: affluent society Realizing this society is what we call Chinese-style modernization. 這個小康社會，叫做中國式的現代化。Without socialism, China can never achieve that goal.不堅持社會主義，中國的小康社會形成不了。Our first objective is to make the nation comparatively well-off by the year 2000. 我們的目標，第一步是到二○○○年建立一個小康社會。Being comparatively well-off doesn't mean that we shall live in affluence, but we shall live better than we do now. 所謂小康社會，就是雖不富裕，但日子好過。Quadrupling production, attaining a fairly comfortable level of life and Chinese-style modernization are all new concepts we have formed. 翻兩番、小康社會、中國式的現代化，這些都是我們的新概念。When we reach that goal, China will have shaken off poverty and achieved comparative prosperity. 實現這個目標意味著我們進入小康社會，把貧困的中國變成小康的中國。When we were managing the economy in the past, the country was poor. Now things are different. We exercise macrocontrol in order to enable the people to live a relatively comfortable life. 過去我們是窮管，現在不同了，是走向小康社會的宏觀管理。Our first goal is to achieve comparative prosperity by the end of the century, or in thirteen years from now. 我們的目標是到本世紀末，就是再過十三年，達到一個小康社會的水平。Since our socialist system is based on public ownership, and since our goal is to achieve common prosperity, we shall then have a society in which the people lead a fairly comfortable life -- that is, everyone's standard of living will have been raised. 我們社會主義制度是以公有制為基礎的，是共同富裕，那時候我們叫小康社會，是人民生活普遍提高的小康社會。In the past 50 years since the founding of New China, especially since the initiation of reform and opening to the outside world , the Chinese government has always put the people's rights to subsistence and development first, focused on economic construction, and made efforts to develop social productivity. Consequently, China's economy and society have advanced by leaps and bounds, its comprehensive national strength has been raised, and the people's livelihood has improved by a large margin thereby realizing two historic leaps -- bringing the people from poverty to having enough to eat and wear, and then to living a better-off life. 新中國成立50年來，特別是改革開放以來，中國政府始終把解決人民的生存權和發(fā)展權問題放在首位，堅持以經濟建設為中心，大力發(fā)展社會生產力，使經濟和社會發(fā)展突飛猛進，綜合國力顯著增強，人民生活水平大幅度提高，實現了從貧困到溫飽和從溫飽到小康的兩次歷史性跨越。
