但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)3 K, i4 N) W* P& h

$ ]! a" K. i5 ?% [ 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：
( i# i0 s) M. R/ o9 }; z$ i) x/ ]* f6 w7 j/ I' X; K( E
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
& f$ ~2 [/ T6 s6 [5 Y. J/ o7 s l4 ]2 _) b- }
原因是：$ s; |5 M) N5 v% s' P$ F" j" Y
, i" K. p8 e. F3 H# l “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.

折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
Y' R) i! g6 z& e3 }5 \ G9 C9 N3 y- n1 e4 {* N+ E8 Z0 ^1 X
“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. |
