但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。( k6 B: k" n) c& m# Y$ G

1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)

2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)

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+ C0 J# d8 x
- P+ h; f7 [" p2 B7 g# C avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
, r1 T, A: n; q$ }; b- K- r5 f2 _
- [& W/ V, ?5 b) _* [& T! \ v: D 原因是:
5 I( u6 o! m+ g5 U2 U
/ |# t# q: u- a8 G; X" _ “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.& r! i5 }2 n/ R5 k
. M! N1 e4 U; S, |( P. o6 w2 G- l
折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
k$ _& [0 b. w/ t# o+ p4 `
# h# H8 M* w7 |6 E8 M “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. |
