但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。
( t9 P" Z/ n, W- Q

- V1 _+ s% J3 X2 M! L. K- c! n) L
5 _) `5 }, m" h, R- l 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)4 [" W3 w! t* s% ^+ f# }

2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路). c7 [9 n4 [" K0 u l9 ^: D

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:
' c V* o8 M, k. O# O1 t; b6 t
0 _ v g$ [' m- k3 Y! H7 g avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
; n2 F2 N) @: X) u4 H6 l7 ~
/ V) l& C/ P' _- r. v) o 原因是:
2 k# R+ d7 e9 N: }: W4 [" N
6 d* X0 ]/ ?7 ]/ s! S7 Y “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.4 P5 `2 z3 D( h% g) }. p8 S; [
/ m' e, p5 L" o! |- M9 l$ v5 L
折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.& x6 h# m0 x ]: a! U; F
/ C, T5 v. ]5 c* j# ^- R# @ “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. |
