但是,这个“不折腾”怎么翻呢?据说难坏了各路翻译精英们。

在网上收集了几种译法:供各位参考,希望起到抛砖引玉的作用:
# a; P. K9 {& ]

4 f+ `" P& t' c1 b3 X' k' p* z8 Q3 k/ u8 h. m
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:( F: t2 [9 \' c% U, w
/ g% h0 Q9 s! x avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)/ x* l1 q" v1 I9 U! u9 d
; Y( a" D" M: z- h( K1 {* B# l
原因是:# s9 ?, R) e/ i5 r- t
$ k4 \0 D' f3 ?* q# F% ], c/ L
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self./ Y9 r# D: h1 d; g
; B6 _9 ~; x+ V5 Y; S/ P0 D1 J
折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
& E6 Z8 }5 [- c( Z4 t( v* [* P
* f. x: D/ c, ^ “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. |
