avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)2 j2 \2 o" C+ _7 |( f* |+ p
' l- O5 o8 e1 v( l# p0 a 原因是:" F; B5 |0 p0 i; n) k3 B4 X

( z' \: r5 J, U# u1 J* X" }* n) ^ 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.$ p7 o$ p& _' I
( x* W/ T* I3 t4 `# x( x “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. |
