未选择的路

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 travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

未选择的路
罗伯特·弗罗斯特

两条路在黄树林中分岔，
很遗憾我不能同时走两条路，
我是一个独行者，久久伫立，
我极目望向一条路，
直到它消失在树丛间。

然后选择了另一条，同样美好，
或许更值得选择，
因为它荒草萋萋，鲜有人走；
虽然这条路也已被践踏得差不多了。

那天早晨，两条路都铺满了落叶，
没有任何脚印弄黑它们。
哦，我把第一条路留待改日再走！
但我知道路径连着路径，
恐怕难以再回返。

多年以后，我将叹息着说：
两条路在树林中分岔，
我选择了那条人迹罕至的，
从此决定了我的一生。
