但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。1 T% z9 j' B$ v' H

1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)) w6 k1 t9 S2 z! p9 T

/ o, c" }3 t$ J" j' e, [3 ^9 D 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：
4 F' j5 J& r; H0 z1 D0 Y# ]/ g2 B
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)' H# ?3 }! D* `' ~/ ?& ~
3 C- a6 K+ [: `. X 原因是：2 z& i. Y6 }5 V" m: e7 m
2 i4 S# m/ ~' @7 E1 m “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
8 C" B5 P, {) @* G6 l
* w9 P7 y d, z 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside., ]) [; {4 z) s% A) U( R$ g1 H
6 @ l4 g+ m5 ^+ W/ F& n( f; ]3 P+ n “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. |
