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 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 took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.


兩條路在黃色的樹林間叉開，
可惜我不能走兩條路。
我這個過客久久徘徊，
極目望去，一條路在遠處，
蜿蜒地進入樹林荒蕪；

我向另一條路望去，同樣平坦，
也許它更值得行走，
因為它長滿茸茸綠草，等待人們的踐踏；
雖然它也已紛亂，
行人在這裡過往奔沓。

那天清晨，兩條路上覆滿樹葉，
沒有腳步把它們踏碎。
啊，哪一天我將走第一條路！
雖然我知道條條路相接，
我仍懷疑是否仍能走回原路。

我將把這事告訴別人，
一面深深嘆息：
樹林中有兩股岔道，
而我走的那條路行人稀少，
這就造成了一切的差異。
