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 traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.


黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，

只可惜我不能都踏行。

我，單獨的旅人，佇立良久，

極目眺望一條路的盡頭，看他隱沒在林從深處。



於是我選擇了另一條路，

一樣平直，也許更值得，

因為青草茵茵，還未被踩過，

若有過往人蹤，路的狀況會相差無幾。

那天早晨，兩條路都覆蓋在枯葉下，沒有踐踏的污痕；

啊，原先那條路留給另一天吧！

明知一條路會引出另一條路，

我懷疑我是否會回到原處。



在許多許多年以後，在某處，

我會輕輕嘆息說：

黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，而我----

選擇了較少人跡的一條，

使得一切多麼地不同。
