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, X) c3 B! b$ ]5 z/ D! C
3 b" I' t; W7 Z! x, e- Q 1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去,朝三暮四)# H4 n' Y# A! ~
% t% w: H$ t2 O) o! L6 B; C, V 2、don"t get sidetracked (别走岔路); \- g4 o* T n' b5 q. v' _
J& C' {: K/ Y4 J/ N7 }6 G# v
3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复)
& H+ u9 p6 M8 J* G( t& R" |- S& [2 [4 ~ H Z
4、no dithering(不踌躇)5 @( v1 E$ S, o4 c7 E* r' c* k. U3 r

5、no major changes (没有重大变化)
6 G5 H' z& ~$ d) Z6 f* x6 Q/ I1 a

7、stop making trouble and wasting time

8、no self-consuming political movements (不搞自我消耗的政治运动): h$ V2 b) n4 K' V& T& J
4 i6 P6 j2 m( x+ V! Q9 \8 S" t 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:- K' a2 J- z& Z9 [. V! g
3 P2 S6 g# x% n; U& v avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾): L4 w1 P, p4 c5 s8 S4 \" y( V6 U
7 `6 e4 J2 J: |2 J
原因是:
: i6 a. }5 M7 y* I5 R; e2 T" x1 t& z& R0 S1 o
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
6 X) `9 J0 s' Q7 ~- Z4 @2 o
5 D9 T {' ?3 m 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.6 s+ S2 j% o7 \9 J
' t5 y* `. I- F1 \- S( B; 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. |
