但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。2 f" ~- Y8 @, E; b/ G+ o+ o4 Y
, z+ G) J" C; C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：/ P/ o/ p- u" D0 O' d4 ^( o

1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)
- Y5 M3 n% [5 i: k! `5 | X1 L1 ?7 c5 _4 Y' T' Z9 Y, K/ L
2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)) h |) X* b# ?" Y5 P5 \" z& Q

5、no major changes (没有重大变化)

6、avoid futile actions (不做无用工)

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：* d9 u* O! K8 c# g
2 A# d' ]4 _, j" C# u
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾), g; k0 U# ~; Z3 H }. v+ d
. i5 \7 E+ z; z- m4 B
原因是：
( G& x% a' h' e8 O0 T
, |" C" z- g. `& A* S0 {3 Z “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.: E3 \, r9 Z+ ^9 V* O6 [
$ n; M" l/ q; T: x( `0 p+ ] 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
# y) w* o; H9 H+ m( }& t9 m
+ X' x0 {7 H, D# M% M' Z- @& G “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. |
