但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。9 o% Z9 ~$ V& P/ L6 x4 M% l
# q0 E- i" E+ q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：
! e9 e/ j! r9 D& L: p7 s# O8 r! S1 u
1 {4 }- ~% X1 } S+ Y3 H 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)$ v+ W9 w0 F# t) G; S8 {$ x2 V

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：3 A7 Q" E" J: C/ D9 U8 I
6 C& e, g3 b! {$ ]! d% h
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
4 U9 s7 @+ ]" n+ c' O
, b0 L* k+ i5 t9 o: a0 W+ E 原因是：
0 J& S; x2 x7 y2 W* X4 l' ~0 U2 @! `# k- [5 p4 |
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.! Y, H" z$ S q u
- M$ Y0 i$ f" I; g- Z: ? 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.: r+ d# }" C5 _1 n
j c' F1 }/ S& U- ^ “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. |
