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.

 

参考译文
黄色的丛林里分出两条路，      
可惜我不能同时涉足，          
我站在那路口久久伫立，        
向着一条路极目望去，        
直到它隐没在丛林深处。

然而我选择了另一条路，           
它荒草萋萋，十分幽静，        
显得更诱人，更美丽；          
虽然那天在这两条小路上
都很少留下旅人的足迹

那天清晨落叶满地
两条路都未经旅人踩印
啊，留下一条路等改日再见！
明知路途绵延无尽
我却怀疑是否应该回到原地

也许多年后在某个地方，         
我将轻声叹息将往事回顾；      
一片树林里分出两条路——      
而我选择了人迹更少的一条，    
从此决定了我一生的道路。

人生旅途总会遇到一些决定未来的选择,选择是痛苦的，因为有选择就会有放弃，而有时你所放弃的可能正是你所珍视的。但愿我们的选择没有错。
