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:
# s: g0 V+ C0 R$ S0 b% v% y C! x# `0 ?) x+ C
1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四), O) l, N+ U- A) D/ e! s, {

8、no self-consuming political movements (不搞自我消耗的政治运动)

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:. v+ r# v2 O. V8 E
1 t4 ]$ m! g# B
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)
+ F8 A8 d6 p+ a% v/ w5 u0 Y
2 V# E+ U/ l" g* F& e! P 原因是:
* A& O* K' a4 a m$ S# p5 C3 e" d% p2 g. i
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.! z0 q' c7 s* s* [2 J* c( X! w
5 v: S3 {- o: T% K5 r7 V, g: g
折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.7 g$ Y" r/ ~( Z8 l/ r2 _& J' [
- B' ^5 S0 {1 ^4 u “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. |
