《未走过的路》

The Road Not Taken

                                       ——Robert Frost​

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

 

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

 

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

 

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

未走过的路

​                 ——罗伯特 · 弗罗斯特

 黄色的树林，前路分成两股，

可惜我不能兼顾。

我站立良久，形影孤独，

远远眺望，它们向远处延伸，

直到转入树林深处。

 

尔后，我踏上另一条路，同样宜人，

或许我还有选它更好的理由，

因为它绿草萋萋，还不曾被践踏，

虽然我要说，一旦我经过

就同样难免会把足迹留下。

 

而且早晨新落的叶子

覆盖着陆，尚无人踩，

哦，我把第一条留给下次！

前途多歧，这我也知，

我也拿不准是否应该返回旧地。​

 

岁月流逝，将来的某时某处，

我会在叹息中想起：

两条路在林间分开，而我——

选择了人迹罕至之途，

从那一刻起，一切差别已成定铸。
