【自译】罗伯特·弗罗斯特《未曾涉足的路》

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 look 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.
未曾涉足的路
罗伯特·弗罗斯特
在金黄的密林里分岔开两条道路，
只惜我无法将两者都涉足
我一介旅者，林间久久踟蹰
放眼朝一条道路遥遥望去，
只见它在矮树林里拐了方向；
然而我朝着另一条道路走去，
它同样是那般美丽，似乎更为诱人
一路芳草缤纷，人迹罕至
然论路上留下的足迹，只见
两路都曾被游人踏足。
那天清晨，两条道路都落满了
那尚未被人踏过的秋叶
啊，我还是留着第一条路改日再走吧！
尽管心里明晓，足下小径终会通向他方
恐怕我终已无法再回返故地
多年之后，蓦然回首，
我会轻声叹息地将往事重提，
密林里分岔出了两条路，而我——
我选择了少有人走的路，
我的一生因此而不同。
