The Road Not Taken 《未选择的路》

最近在课本上看到一首英文诗《The Road Not Taken》，读起来很有感觉，在这里推荐给大家 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. 这首诗是Robert Frost的一首经典诗，语言朴实自然，尤以最后一句振奋人心。 Two roads diverged in a wood,and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. 一片树林里分出两条路，而我却选择了人迹更少的一条，从此决定了我一生的道路。其实作者是在描绘自己当时的心境，据说他弃农从文，最终成为一名著名的诗人。我想这是作者能写出这首经典诗的原因所在吧。其实我们周围也不乏这样的人，他们曾经做出艰难的抉择，现在他们依然在坚持着自己的选择，我相信他们一定会走得更精彩。志萍就是其中一位。也曾在李开复的自传中多次读到这句，而他也同样选择的是人迹更少的一条路，在这条路上他曾走得坎坷，走得艰难，但他一如既往，希望他能走得更辉煌。再想想我们自己，倘若有两条路摆在我们面前，我们是否会选择人迹更少的一条呢。看美剧学习英语不正是一条有别于其他学习方式的路吗。
