但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。0 e7 d, z- Z9 s) V6 o3 y

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:8 G& v0 h% Y# ?) s/ j9 B
* l2 T v* U Z. U" l6 S% {5 @+ R
1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)
7 |* P+ R |! K+ L6 f3 e5 o' M. o P+ [) ^2 s4 p) d
2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)

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:1 O# S4 U7 r, B8 ? }6 d
, x6 x' ~4 d. m& D2 }: p avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)' P4 Z. O# i$ V& T5 B
0 Z, L7 ~2 z" T& ~9 X- @
原因是:
. c: U* u7 U' F2 {7 c- }+ x. g- p8 Z& }
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.9 C) i( I2 p6 D$ z
) u; A$ \; T( H6 l 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.1 e+ P. `* l" S6 j! _% @0 N4 E! Y
) l q. Z: ~: m8 Y5 K/ 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. |
