The Road Not Taken

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.

沒(méi)有走過(guò)的路

金色的樹(shù)林路分兩條，

遺憾不能兩條都到。

孤獨(dú)的我長(zhǎng)久佇立，

極目眺望其中一條，

直到它在灌叢中淹沒(méi)掉。

然后我公平地選擇了另外一條，

或許理由更加充分，

因?yàn)樗萆钚枰腥松先プ咦摺?/p>

說(shuō)到有多少人從上面走過(guò)

兩條路磨損得還真是差不多。

而且那天早晨?jī)蓷l路都靜靜地躺著，

覆蓋在上面的樹(shù)葉都沒(méi)有被踩黑，

噢，我把第一條路留給了下一次!

但我知道前方的路變幻莫測(cè)，

我懷疑我是否應(yīng)該回來(lái)……

多年以后在某個(gè)地方，

我將嘆息著講述這件事：

樹(shù)林里路分兩條，而我——

選擇了行人較少的那條，

就這樣一切便發(fā)生了改變。
