The Road Not Taken 《未选择的路》罗伯特?弗罗斯特（Robert Frost）生于1874年，卒于1963年，可能要算是20世纪美国最受欢迎和爱戴的一位诗人了。1912年，他弃农从文，从此成为了一名专业诗人。他曾在1961年时受邀在约翰?F?肯尼迪总统的就职典礼上朗诵他的诗歌——《The Gift Outright》。而本次我为大家推荐的《The Road Not Taken》则是他最著名的一首诗歌。Two roads diverged in a yellow wood 黄色的树林里分出两条路 　　And sorry I could not travel both 可惜我不能同时去涉足 　　And be one traveler, long I stood 我在那路口久久伫立 　　And looked down one as far as I could 我向着一条路极目望去 　　To where it bent in the undergrown 直到它消失在丛林深处 　　Then took the other, as just as fair 但我却选了另外一条路 　　And having perhaps the better claim 它荒草萋萋，十分幽寂 　　Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 显得更诱人、更美丽 　　Though as for that the passing there 虽然在这两条小路上 　　Had worn them really about the same 都很少留下旅人的足迹 　　And both that morning equally lay 虽然那天清晨落叶满地 　　In leaves no step had trodden black 两条路都未经脚印污染 　　Oh, I kept the first for another day! 呵，留下一条路等改日再见！ 　　Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 但我知道路径延绵无尽头 　　I doubted if I should even come back.恐怕我难以再回返 　　I shall be telling this with a sigh 也许多少年后在某个地方 　　Somewhere ages and ages hence: 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾 　　Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--- 一片树林里分出两条路 　　I took the one less traveled by, 而我选了人迹更少的一条 　　And that has made all the difference 从此决定了我一生的道路 评论1： The Road Not Taken is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916 in the collection Mountain Interval, it is the first poem in the volume and is printed in italics. The title is often mistakenly given as The Road Less Traveled, from the penultimate line: I took the one less traveled by. The poem has two recognized interpretations; one is a more literal interpretation, while the other is more ironic. Readers often see the poem literally, as an expression of individualism. Critics typically view the poem as ironic.[1] – The Road Not Taken, perhaps the most famous example of Frosts own claims to conscious irony and the best example in all of American poetry of a wolf in sheeps clothing.[2] – and Frost himself warned You have to be careful of that one; its a tricky poem – very
