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：
3 o/ X$ {- s2 B. a L% X4 ?& x0 ?! ?3 ]( k8 X# ?$ o! ~0 P0 _
1、don"t flip flop (别翻来倒去，朝三暮四)
3 @/ a0 U7 J/ p+ J7 F" v' w

3、don"t sway back and forth (别反复)+ ^8 X( K7 K& n4 H2 _0 N

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：
, N p9 p1 m1 U1 R3 r2 F4 y) y+ m$ K, y5 B, t, p( s4 e4 l J
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折腾)8 ~! M: A1 q+ ^5 S, K
. z& W; v' e, x 原因是：
6 ?1 w( |* }# f1 R' Q/ s' C8 i! B' d# q( J# ]
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating theunnecessarypain for one self.
9 C/ V# D" W* R+ V$ B
9 I! v' t! ?: G5 F 折腾 in Hu"s speech has a strong connotation that such kindofsetback is self-seeking instead of being due to theinterferencefrom outside.
4 z, R, ^/ y5 i
) t1 M# l7 ? F+ O& ~% B “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. |
