军歌 - 革命不是请客吃饭 歌词翻译

A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay,
or painting a picture, or doing embroidery;
it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle,
so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous.
A revolution is an insurrection,
an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.

革命不是请客吃饭，不是做文章，
不是绘画绣花，不能那样雅致，
那样从容不迫，文质彬彬，
那样温良恭俭让。
革命是暴动，
是一个阶级推翻一个阶级的暴烈的行动。
