With the coming to power of Khrushchev, the big brother of the Soviet Union, Sino-Soviet relations were once very tense. Behind closed doors hindered the development of China, and even the problem of eating in people's livelihood became a very difficult thing at that time. During the period from 1949 to 1956, the new regime in China was not only established, but also gradually realized the transformation from new democracy to socialism.
It provides a high-quality foundation for the development of socialist state-owned enterprises and national economy. By the end of 1952, the industrial and agricultural development in China had reached the highest level at that time. While all citizens are full of hope for the future, people have encountered unprecedented obstacles to domestic agricultural development because of the Great Leap Forward and production cooperatives.
At that time, people didn't have enough to eat and didn't have enough to eat was the most common problem. 196 1 year, China was already struggling, and people had to solve the problem of food and clothing, which became the 1 event in the hearts of China people at that time. Fortunately, in 196 1 year, Khrushchev of the Soviet Union finally relented and decided to lend China one million tons of grain and one million tons of sucrose.
However, the reception department in China made an own goal, and the translation department directly translated the one million tons of grain and one million tons of sucrose lent by Khrushchev to China into one million tons of grain and one million tons of sucrose lent to China by the Soviet Union, which were completely different in nature.
At that time, there was a problem in our country. If we accept this proposal of the Soviet Union, it is very likely that the living standard of China people will not be improved in the next 10 years or even 20 years. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, China only decided to accept the proposal of1100,000 tons of sucrose and gave up1100,000 tons of grain.
But by the end of the year, when the Secretary of the Prime Minister opened this page of proposal document, he found that the translation team seemed to have made a mistake. Finally, the secretary of the Prime Minister checked the original documents with several translators, and later found that Khrushchev meant to borrow, not borrow.
At that time, when China made a decision, it was based on loans, which led to a big mistake. Although I feel very sorry in my heart, I also feel that the price behind the own goal made by China Translation Department is really too high.
It's just that things have risen to the international level, when the motherland has decided to buy grain internationally to tide over the difficulties. Therefore, this incident will be minimized, but it will serve as a warning to the translation department in China. In the next work, everything should be handled with caution, and repeated inspection is the basic attitude.
