但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。4 B' N: ^$ d5 Z4 I s$ b

在网上收集了几种译法:供各位参考,希望起到抛砖引玉的作用:
* E6 F/ r1 Y9 R. o+ s. B9 L; e
) h+ U( j6 o; ~ 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)
1 t- b; Q3 o7 C1 j; R2 C( Y5 ?4 d) ~! z/ y" F2 \2 B) {
2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路): S' t! A- [0 v1 e/ @5 b; t

上述译法,觉得都不够准确,不够精彩,没有把“折腾”的全部意思表达出来。这里推荐一个译法,感觉比较恰当:$ O3 S0 T* j& Q5 Q9 P \
( B9 X2 g% K U! C% R' h avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)! |9 K2 `9 \. Z- [8 n: w/ ^+ n

' O/ {& R& r5 P
/ q1 W3 @$ ?$ U' T+ @; F “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.7 E5 n% z- Z" _* {6 T' r
, B2 {5 f" a0 u# ^: O @4 |% z: g
折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.( M3 [( S2 F4 T X
% G* f2 S# R, Z% [) s5 z! k0 u7 j ?
“Setback” is a much better word than “trouble”, whichanunseasoned translator would like to use in the firstinstance.“Setback” especially refers to the obstacle ordifficultyencountered in achieving a strategic goal. |
