但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

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:4 j; y) G8 Q# V5 z5 }0 f
( v4 r% V/ S; F9 y' A, R9 u0 k
1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)
* B! v, w8 _! Y `4 E# X/ `) Q/ }: M7 c' t
2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)

7、stop making trouble and wasting time

, |9 z# w* j, } 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:
5 M5 \* \! M2 C! A0 w5 J8 ~6 l5 [" n. f- \4 H
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
, e- V6 ~4 P7 {% ^5 F3 x7 q
, X( _3 e- o7 q+ b# ~ 原因是:
: x4 K: m; d+ H# ~) O3 [; e9 q# g# Z( c3 o3 B
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.# Q5 c- t" Y& }: @, a
4 S* t$ S/ o5 J" A" M9 G 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.+ a( }" W% F' K9 |* y' Q

“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. |
