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:
/ b$ \) y. C3 U7 F# D7 E' E9 m
% e' e# |& t9 P/ ]8 j7 ~4 {) ]/ t 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)
1 H* m# I- Q9 {2 U6 }# ^5 I8 y! C* w7 }* y; Y2 H" [
2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路): L; U( U9 n4 l
6 e1 M$ M# r! H) I0 I$ V
3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复)

4、no dithering(不踌躇)4 m. f2 {. f4 E

5、no major changes (没有重大变化)( r Q/ S7 h6 G: J' a

8、no self-consuming political movements (不搞自我消耗的政治运动)1 \* w& |: Q+ g) o. e' |9 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:1 f# { a5 ~% z) ]+ x7 ?
$ P/ s* q- k1 |1 I% `; T
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
8 a N" v% ^, p2 |" h. [+ `9 P- M4 N4 T: L2 \9 D
原因是:. ] d# B/ s* c- h1 q

“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.0 e! s3 @7 a" V* W, M: x! B# ]
! c+ t1 W X! |2 F 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.& T- j/ [& I7 C* s. d" ?5 H* C* L
1 y" `! ]5 ^/ t' I “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. |
