但是，这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢？据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

' n1 f, b2 u4 V# e* X; a8 h4 d+ N% _8 f. H! s* r! u
1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)( X% Q# }' s9 `0 S7 g) }. O8 Q

3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复)

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：
6 u) u# o4 Z( q& y4 Y3 f) I0 v: a& u7 A4 Y5 \2 O* U, H+ u
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)# J* X* |2 b/ \. @
" g- i7 S& }/ C4 D 原因是：
. v5 u& u6 P; q8 q4 y$ f \; t
; m. E+ j/ |" Q; n" r “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
6 ]$ G' o( o3 [: }7 i
: @5 Z0 ]2 Y) B4 R9 K 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.6 \5 v( y3 |' V( {! k0 u
1 i5 b. ]% d6 p# e( A: Q$ s* ^" C/ W
“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. |
