Let us now consider the residue of each of these products; it consists of the same
unsubstantial reality in each, a mere congelation of homogeneous human labour, of
labour-power expended without regard to the mode of its expenditure. All that these
things now tell us is, that human labour-power has been expended in their production,
that human labour is embodied in them. When looked at as crystals of this social
substance, common to them all, they are — Values.
现在我们来考察劳动产品剩下来的东西。它们剩下的只是同一的幽灵般的对象性，只是无差
别的人类劳动的单纯凝结，即不管以哪种形式进行的人类劳动力耗费的单纯凝结。这些物现在只是表示，在它们的生产上耗费了人类劳动力，积累了人类劳动。这些物，作为它们共有的这个社会实体的结晶，就是价值——商品价值。
We have seen that when commodities are exchanged, their exchange-value manifests
itself as something totally independent of their use-value. But if we abstract from their
use-value, there remains their Value as defined above. Therefore, the common substance
that manifests itself in the exchange-value of commodities, whenever they are exchanged,
is their value. The progress of our investigation will show that exchange-value is the only
form in which the value of commodities can manifest itself or be expressed. For the
present, however, we have to consider the nature of value independently of this, its form.
我们已经看到，在商品的交换关系本身中，商品的交换价值表现为同它们的使用价值完全无
关的东西。如果真正把劳动产品的使用价值抽去，就得到刚才已经规定的它们的价值。因此，在商品的交换关系或交换价值中表现出来的共同东西，也就是商品的价值。研究的进程会使我们再把交换价值当作价值的必然的表现方式或表现形式来考察，但现在，我们应该首先不管这种形式来考察价值。
