In his speech marking the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up, President Hu mentioned the phrase “no need for upheaval” – how should this be translated? “Avoid self-inflicted setbacks” can be translated as “avoid self-inflicted setbacks” (literally: avoid regression caused by one’s own actions). 1. Don’t flip flop (don’t change your mind constantly). 2. Don’t get sidetracked (don’t take detours). 3. Don’t sway back and forth (don’t oscillate back and forth). 4. No dithering (no hesitation). 5. No major changes (no significant alterations). 6. Avoid futile actions (don’t engage in pointless efforts). 7. Stop making trouble and wasting time (cease causing problems and wasting time). 8. No self-consuming political movements (avoid politically motivated actions that only harm oneself)
If I remember correctly, it seems I heard that the translation at the time was simply \"buzheteng\"...the Pinyin for that word...
So far, the authorities have not provided an official translation, but MS came across an official explanation some time ago; the meaning of “not causing trouble” should be understood as “not creating unnecessary difficulties for oneself or others””
I didn’t listen to this report! You know, one Chinese character can have many different meanings; please pay attention to the context of each sentence in the report! In oral English, “ Troublesome should be translated as “Cat and Mouse”. It’s interesting!
Hehe, so funny!:lol
At that time I was using “buzheteng”; it seems there were articles saying that the translation was good
Maybe “buzheteng” will become popular around the world; some people think it’s the most suitable word. Now, in addition to terms like “gongfu”, the Chinese are contributing a new word as well :)
hehe, “buzheteng” might become a new English word in the near future.:victory:
?????Who is the translated content meant for? For the Chinese to see? It’s no wonder foreigners are confused when they see “buzheteng” Those who do translation should learn more about the Chinese language. Having not seen the original text, I personally think that “stable” is a more appropriate term; it seems to convey the same meaning as what Laozi said: “To govern a large country is like cooking a small fish.” Ingrid couldn’t die like that, so she had to speak in Chinese, hoping that by offering some help she could inspire someone better to provide a solution.
BUZHETENG is just a new english word right now.
BUZHETENG Sure
In new situations, some new things will emerge; therefore, I think “BUZHETENG” is a good way to convey the meaning of HU
