未选择的路
​ ——罗伯特·弗罗斯特

黄色的林子里有两条路，
很遗憾我无法同时选择两者
身在旅途的我久久站立
对着其中一条极目眺望
直到它蜿蜒拐进远处的树丛。

我选择了另外的一条，天经地义，
也许更为诱人
因为它充满荆棘，需要开拓；
然而这样的路过
并未引起太大的改变。

那天清晨这两条小路一起静卧在
无人踩过的树叶丛中
哦，我把另一条路留给了明天！
明知路连着路，
我不知是否该回头。

我将轻轻叹息，叙述这一切
许多许多年以后：
林子里有两条路，我——
选择了行人稀少的那一条
它改变了我的一生。

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 back.
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.
