中新網(wǎng)1月18日電 “不折騰”怎么翻譯成英文?對(duì)于這個(gè)世界性的難題,中國(guó)駐納米比亞大使任小萍也給出了自己的答案。她在中國(guó)外交部網(wǎng)站上發(fā)表文章,對(duì)這個(gè)困擾各路翻譯精英的難題予以解答。
她在文章中指出,最近,胡主席在慶祝改革開(kāi)放30 周年講話(huà)中說(shuō):“只要我們不動(dòng)搖、不懈怠、不折騰,堅(jiān)定不移地推進(jìn)改革開(kāi)放,堅(jiān)定不移地走中國(guó)特色社會(huì)主義道路,就一定能夠勝利實(shí)現(xiàn)這一宏偉藍(lán)圖和奮斗目標(biāo)!
當(dāng)時(shí),“不折騰”三個(gè)字剛落音,人民大會(huì)堂觀眾席隨即傳來(lái)會(huì)心的笑聲。在正式的場(chǎng)合宣示重大發(fā)展方向時(shí),一貫嚴(yán)肅的胡錦濤突然冒出一句很普通的口語(yǔ),顯然讓大家覺(jué)得十分親切。但笑聲也說(shuō)明觀眾是聽(tīng)懂了“折騰”二字的所指,也聽(tīng)懂了“不折騰”的含義。
任小萍大使認(rèn)為,這是說(shuō),建國(guó)以來(lái),因內(nèi)外因素而走的冤枉路并不少。歷次的政治運(yùn)動(dòng)和反復(fù)都給國(guó)家發(fā)展造成不少損傷,文化大革命是損傷最大的一次。改革開(kāi)放也幾經(jīng)受挫,成功來(lái)之不易。如今,將過(guò)去的曲折、錯(cuò)誤一律以“折騰”稱(chēng)之,表明中國(guó)不再做與經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展無(wú)關(guān)的、內(nèi)耗的路線(xiàn)辯論或政治斗爭(zhēng),“不折騰”的確有現(xiàn)實(shí)針對(duì)性,而且微妙貼切。
但是,這個(gè)“不折騰”怎么翻呢?據(jù)說(shuō)難壞了各路翻譯精英們。
任大使在網(wǎng)上收集了幾種譯法:供各位參考,希望起到拋磚引玉的作用:
1、don't flip flop (別翻來(lái)倒去,朝三暮四)
2、don't get sidetracked (別走岔路)
3、don't sway back and forth (別反復(fù))
4、no dithering(不躊躇)
5、no major changes (沒(méi)有重大變化)
6、avoid futile actions (不做無(wú)用工)
7、stop making trouble and wasting time
8、no self-consuming political movements (不搞自我消耗的政治運(yùn)動(dòng))
她認(rèn)為,上述譯法,覺(jué)得都不夠準(zhǔn)確,不夠精彩,沒(méi)有把“折騰”的全部意思表達(dá)出來(lái)。這里推薦一個(gè)譯法,感覺(jué)比較恰當(dāng):
avoid self-inflicted setbacks (不折騰)
原因是:
“self-inflicted” has the connotation of creating the unnecessary pain for one self.
折騰 in Hu’s speech has a strong connotation that such kind of setback is self-seeking instead of being due to the interference from outside.
“Setback” is a much better word than “trouble”, which an unseasoned translator would like to use in the first instance. “Setback” especially refers to the obstacle or difficulty encountered in achieving a strategic goal.
