但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

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:3 W8 O, T' v- }8 Z
( I) r5 [ O: u1 u. i
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾) Q4 k) m. a" I U( n
+ Q+ G. }4 X, v8 p8 ?
原因是:
+ M6 g8 e, W+ d5 O& W- o; Y( m# |! X# Z& W/ }0 |. Q$ B8 J
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
+ v( d# E2 p/ R; t
# M) q! |' p& A( @: d 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.

“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. |
