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:
! i; S; k+ F* x1 m4 M; P# F3 j6 V, I
1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)9 G, s+ J7 m7 c7 Z, i- M) h% f1 h S1 {

6 k# J9 j: T0 E2 c8 G. q( B 3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复)! W2 l4 i6 B$ K

4、no dithering(不踌躇)# _! K) ]% C9 b( w0 D" k

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:/ Q& ~" k; |3 t- B4 L8 G* O
( p& b8 L, s+ V7 d5 {
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
K0 K* q, w6 s8 c! f6 y. ]/ v: f
0 x4 i) b4 A6 A$ a4 H 原因是: d8 O. t2 f7 d
/ O* m- b' i3 i( Q, I6 }* `1 E “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.) X5 X4 X) M$ K9 g, p k7 O0 r
4 ^' F+ w' B1 D9 r3 c" o 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
% B' h: f& Z$ N+ r; ?7 P7 e4 R- G5 k5 Z1 R# Q8 @/ A7 [, t% @; G' 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. |
