但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
. y! M8 W. n0 f- E8 F* f5 ~# P: ]' H- Z8 K. _ r& A8 S2 C
原因是:

5 B4 a! Y6 |! n “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.

) j; r5 x! Y0 P6 h “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. |
