口译“不折腾”

“不折腾”怎么翻译？宜用not sidetracked而非not flip-flop
例句：中国股市稳健发展需要“不折腾”
错误的翻译：The steady development of China's stock market requires that we should not flip-flop.
正确的翻译：The steady development of China's stock market requires that we should not get sidetracked.

解释说明：flip-flop的意思是to suddenly change one's position or opinion on a political issue, 强调“突然改变政治立场或观点”，与股市无关。例如：
这个政客被指责在若干重大问题上出尔反尔。
The politician was accused of flip-flopping on several major issues.

“不折腾”的意思很微妙，有“不乱做，不瞎搞，不翻来覆去，不做无用之功，不没事找事，不走岔路”等含义，很难在英语中找到直接的对应词。我们不妨使用《中国日报》的译法：not to get sidetracked.如：
我们必须不动摇、不懈怠、不折腾，坚定不移地推进改革开放坚定不移地走中国特色的社会主义道路。
We must not sway back and forth, relax our efforts or get sidetracked, but firmly push forward the
reform and opening-up as well as adhere to socialism with Chinese characteristics.

To get sidetracked的意思是to get off track，也就是“脱离正常的路径”，有“折腾”的含义。在下面的句子中，to get sidetracked可以译成“折腾”：
The boys get sidetracked more while the girls are more confident.
男生们比较爱折腾，而女生们比较自信。
又如：
He doesn't let himself sidetracked by fads and trends.
他不让自己受到时髦和时尚东西的折腾。
