未选择的路

《The Road Not Taken》
　　（一）
　　Two roads diverged1 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 bent2 in the undergrowth3.
　　（二）
　　Then took the other, as just as fair4,
　　And having perhaps the better claim5,
　　Because it was grassy6 and wanted wear7;
　　Though as for that the passing there
　　Had worn8 them really about the same.
　　（三）
　　And both that morning equally9 lay
　　In leaves no step had trodden10 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.
　　（四）
　　I shall be telling this with a sigh11
　　Somewhere ages12 and ages hence13:
　　Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
　　I took the one less traveled by,
　　And that has made all the difference
　　译文：
　　《未选择的路》

　　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。
