【the-road-not-taken-中英文对照】The Road Not Taken

By 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 actually, 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.

未选择的路

作者：罗伯特·弗罗斯特

黄叶林中分出两条路，

可惜我不能同时涉足，

我久久伫立，沿着一条路极目远望，

直到它隐入灌木丛中；

然后我选择了另一条，同样显得美丽，

或许更有吸引力，

因为那条路长满青草，人迹罕至；

尽管实际上，那天早晨两条路都铺满落叶，

没有被踩黑的痕迹。

哦，我把第一条留给了另一个日子！

但我知道，路连着路，

我可能再也无法回头。

在很久很久以后，我会叹息着说：

黄叶林中分出两条路，而我——

我选择了人迹更少的那条，

这决定了我一切的走向。
