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：
; A1 U) G3 _2 ]: S) }
9 N, C2 K G( H: M. z Z& H 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)& Z: @, l( z+ H& }# i) E
[, ^/ O% I- X5 I9 J% O' i
2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)$ M* h! V7 C. J/ q
8 p Y- h& B5 y& s6 o
3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复): i6 C' S# u. r7 P+ h4 n/ `2 g
4 M6 o5 |* @4 m; s 4、no dithering(不踌躇)

6、avoid futile actions (不做无用工)

" Y b3 N& z( Z5 J3 \" C7 ^
$ w9 K1 @" y1 i1 J9 Z 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：
% g7 C$ }/ l& ]. u$ w+ I4 n# U/ f' `8 r5 P" q, u/ u
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)! y6 R3 p: d) K
. x( m8 |. I7 s8 ~
原因是：
6 z0 u7 o' W# d. h) k" F V/ g! {+ S5 v1 B2 c5 Z" ` a
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
o7 K3 |4 d p$ w+ G
& Z- z( w9 Q, ~* s( u/ g* C 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.% @9 ~$ P# F3 d3 ~ z
) |# f, N8 K: M G& [/ V
“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. |
