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:
! | l$ b; k* [' o# v! H) g ~+ m' r2 G+ a$ L" v, n; c
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)& }/ A' [. e/ R( r
8 R0 S: Q- L+ i: l7 n 原因是:- q# @+ G( G0 Z, X8 O8 u! m+ {
; ^3 }) ~: y9 t- U3 Z “self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
$ H- [! e5 W0 C( X1 D6 I# r5 }" N* p3 Z
7 `6 b% y9 [. X1 c9 P7 m7 g! I 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.& |( a/ ]( G) k* _ g
( `; b: a/ D, d: d “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. |
