但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

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:
- w7 O; v5 y: T9 f/ a8 v* Z/ _% r. V' z0 m7 s: V0 ~
1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)

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:$ a1 R- D8 g8 G Q: j2 T
2 U; n5 b. n; Q$ H0 [& ?/ w
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)/ c4 b2 u! C9 h1 ?- n
" }( Q( L6 z7 z4 h+ M
原因是:

“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.( {7 ?8 L9 @. O V2 t; x9 B
+ A0 E( p" W* C7 R" H. g 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.) _5 {/ E( L' l @" U& D( @- b

“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. |
