著名英文诗《The Road Not Taken》未选择的路

The Road Not Taken 未选择的路Robert Frost 　　 罗伯特•弗罗斯特Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 黄色的树林里分出两条路And sorry I could not travel both 　　 可惜我不能同时去涉足And be one traveler, long I stood 　　 我在那路口久久伫立And looked down one as far as I could 我向着一条路极目望去To where it bent in the undergrowth; 　直到它消失在丛林深处Then took the other, as just as fair, 　但我却选择了另外一条路 　　And having perhaps the better claim, 它荒草萋萋，十分幽寂Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 显得更诱人，更美丽　Though as for that the passing there 　　 虽然在这两条小路上Had worn them really about the same, 都很少留下旅人的足迹And both that morning equally lay 　虽然那天清晨落叶满地In leaves no step had trodden black. 两条路都未经脚印污染Oh, I kept the first for another day! 呵，留下一条路等改日再见Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 但我知道路径延绵无尽头I doubted if I should ever come back. 　恐怕我难以再回返I shall be telling this with a sigh 也许多少年后在某一个地方Somewhere ages and ages hence: 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾Two roads diverged in a wood,and I— 　一片森林里分出两条路I took the one less traveled by, 　而我却选择了人迹更少的一条 　　And that has made all the difference.　从此决定了我一生的道路转自豆瓣的诗评：弗罗斯特在诗歌风格上的一个最大特点是朴素无华，含义隽永，把深刻的思考和哲理寓于平淡无奇的内容和简洁朴实的诗句之中。本诗堪称是这方面的典范。这首诗的语言质朴自然，但在构思上却非常巧妙。这首诗描绘的是一个面临选择的人和他进行选择时的心态，至于选择的具体内容并没有写出，诗人的着眼点是选择本身。每一个读者都能够在这首诗中发现自己的生活体验，体味其中的哲理。
