Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken 1915
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.
黃葉林中出條岔路，
無奈一人難於兼顧，
順著一條婉蜒小路，
久久佇立極目遠眺，
只見小徑拐進灌木。
接著選擇了另一條，
同樣清楚似乎更好，
引人踩踏鋪滿茂草，
踏在其間難分彼此，
儘管真有兩條道。
清晨裏躺著兩條路，
一樣葉被無人踏髒，
願將第一條來日補，
但知條條相連遠途，
懷疑日後怎能回返。
在很久以後某一地，
我將歎息訴說於人，
兩路岔開在樹林裏，
我選的那條足跡稀，
而一切差別由此起。
