但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。 l$ R$ e- O$ g, z( W3 ^

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：+ p) U w/ _& m- j: t
& p- p5 A2 {% l2 j* Y 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)
# U6 B b& f8 _8 o# B

4、no dithering(不踌躇)

* z& I2 `# v, V! H, o T5 d3 A 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：
& F) d+ R! R* A0 X
) p6 @# e" R0 \* T% C2 o avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)" g. ?. A7 @7 [( w5 ]& J- j K t
/ w" m1 K" p) _# i; s) U
原因是：
/ v& T( [" V! v: e
$ H1 r3 t3 ]) T6 g0 v7 H' ]; Y1 R8 J “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
, s$ y c& j1 n2 ]% t
: K& I) Y! U5 n" p) u& U9 \- { 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
9 U9 n1 J1 P y( r6 X v8 ^5 M. _" O9 c& C' z
“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. |
