但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。+ r4 b9 U& O5 M" A1 B# S* ^
8 ^- K1 X* z, x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：
+ i# M. P0 j1 ?; l9 }5 h6 F+ i/ c
5 [8 \( J6 a$ x/ f" V 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)' k ?9 h1 ?$ o8 _

2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)4 \- |% E% A; W

3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复)9 |: O2 N- h- i% n

/ F6 F; P5 R7 {0 Q8 X5 @+ y 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：- h- F4 W! O, e' L) v7 O
4 g* i% \* Z R1 B( R% d avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
/ H4 H8 u9 E( `1 a: Q0 T9 l" ?" ?1 ~* z
原因是：
3 v$ ^& H" b o5 J5 \$ H5 r
- c- E. X4 y* M8 I }5 p “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
! w! x* d+ N! g# S5 P+ u a
" k$ N* L# C% P! n5 H7 s" | 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.2 j' r( H6 P- L$ T
' V# F8 z) }# O “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. |
