硬套

   • 教條主義者不遵守這個原則，他們不了解諸種革命情況的區別，因而也不了解應當用不同的方法去解決不同的矛盾，而只是千篇一律地使用一種自以為不可改變的公式到處硬套，這就只能使革命遭受挫折，或者將本來做得好的事情弄得很壞。 [MSC, trad.]
     教条主义者不遵守这个原则，他们不了解诸种革命情况的区别，因而也不了解应当用不同的方法去解决不同的矛盾，而只是千篇一律地使用一种自以为不可改变的公式到处硬套，这就只能使革命遭受挫折，或者将本来做得好的事情弄得很坏。 [MSC, simp.]

     From: 1937, 毛澤東 (Mao Zedong), 《矛盾論》 (On Contradiction), 《毛澤東選集》. English translation based on the Foreign Languages Press edition

     Jiàotiáozhǔyìzhě bù zūnshǒu zhège yuánzé, tāmen bù liǎojiě zhū zhǒng gémìng qíngkuàng de qūbié, yīn'ér yě bù liǎojiě yīngdāng yòng bùtóng de fāngfǎ qù jiějué bùtóng de máodùn, ér zhǐshì qiānpiānyīlǜ de shǐyòng yī zhǒng zì yǐwéi bùkě gǎibiàn de gōngshì dàochù yìngtào, zhè jiù zhǐnéng shǐ gémìng zāoshòu cuòzhé, huòzhě jiāng běnlái zuò de hǎo de shìqing nòng de hěn huài. [Pinyin]

     The dogmatists do not observe this principle; they do not understand that conditions differ in different kinds of revolution and so do not understand that different methods should be used to resolve different contradictions; on the contrary, they invariably adopt what they imagine to be an unalterable formula and arbitrarily apply it everywhere, which only causes setbacks to the revolution or makes a sorry mess of what was originally well done.
