French term or phrase: Reculer pour mieux sauter
There are many reasons to have a holiday. Reculer pour mieux sauter, say the French: draw back the better to leap. We may want nothing but relaxation and rest. But as Sherlock Holmes knew, the best form of R&R is to do something different: a change is as good as a rest, if not better; and the best kind of change is to enter another world.


各位好!第一次问法文问题。这个问题在Engish Kudoz上讨论过了(http://www.proz.com/kudoz/2470970),这句话的英文译文非常别扭,我也对法文原文不太理解,现请教各位。
感谢!

养精蓄锐


Explanation:
法文直译是“后退是为了跳得更好”。养精蓄锐的目的是什么?不就是为了“跳得更好”吗?但似乎还不够,想到再告诉你。

以退为进


Explanation:
个人觉得“以退为进”比较好,因为原文里有 Reculer(后退)和 sauter(跳起)的对比,而且Reculer pour mieux sauter,后退是为了更好的 跃起,所以译文也应该译出这样的对比性和目的性。
