但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

: w( G0 T( f9 r5 v: e7 u
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)1 g: k r7 S3 W6 ^' x# W( m

原因是：

1 D& w! W5 R/ X9 Z K “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.

折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
( k- t& D. K, ]: ?% j4 E) Q& @! D, L+ r9 k% }
“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. |
