没有走的路

美国诗人  罗勃.佛洛斯特：没有走的路

Robert Frost's known poem: The Road Not Taken

黄树林里分叉两条路，TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
只可惜我不能都踏行。And sorry I could not travel both

我，单独的旅人，伫立良久，And be one traveler, long I stood
极目眺望一条路的尽头，And looked down one as far as I could
看它隐没在丛林深处。To where it bent in the undergrowth;

於是我选择了另一条路，Then took the other, as just as fair,
一样平直，也许更值得，And having perhaps the better claim,
因为青草茵茵，还未被踏过，Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
若有过往人踪，Had worn them really about the same,
路的状况会相差无几。Though as for that the passing there

那天早晨，两条路都覆盖在枯叶下，And both that morning equally lay
没有践踏的污痕：In leaves no step had trodden black.
啊，原先那条路留给另一天吧！Oh, I kept the first for another day!
明知一条路会引出另一条路，Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
我怀疑我是否会回到原处。I doubted if I should ever come back

在许多许多年以後，在某处，I shall be telling this with a sigh
我会轻轻叹息说：Somewhere ages and ages hence:
黄树林里分叉两条路，而我，Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
我选择了较少人迹的一条，I took the one less traveled by,
使得一切多麽地不同。And that has made all the difference
