但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。: \9 }% m4 K6 Y: w

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:
' l6 U0 k/ A' C0 |; u6 N" {2 ~# u7 d* }2 P( q1 a0 D
1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)0 o# ~9 x/ d; d( I9 H

2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)

3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复)

4、no dithering(不踌躇)

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:
/ S' u6 B" T7 D4 o* M# A
( P4 E0 v. m- |* [8 j- J8 C1 @5 c avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
: L3 r. ?+ Z+ J3 h/ P9 X0 D- h
8 j; Q( {! b& B, [0 _ 原因是:
) A0 L {# o. q! n O. q# Y8 s G" F! [$ \2 l% w7 s! {" q9 j5 D
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.) {& k' R/ c) v3 R; b& V
& b3 p0 J4 J3 |& r# g( v( e3 N% C
折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.

“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. |
