但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)

2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路)

8、no self-consuming political movements (不搞自我消耗的政治运动): Q6 O" h0 m* C) B: q# U. I6 M( V

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：* S6 M$ a2 u# }/ W
. G- I1 [: [0 p! C: P# u
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)( l4 }% K4 p1 c9 f7 Q
$ g# B+ W# M" r2 @$ t& T- Q
原因是：
# S' S& I( C3 S5 N+ c H
1 D& B+ y3 N! X# N “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self. @1 c6 x4 M3 {- w
% L9 p$ d( g4 j& G$ d. |& F 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
9 ?0 g. B- W. B
+ m2 ^+ W6 D3 q6 e0 Y7 P “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. |
