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 passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both the 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.

無人走過的路  — 周雋編譯

我矗立金黃落葉滿鋪的樹林中，
眼前兩條小徑蜿蜒，
可惜我不能同時涉足；
我站立良久，形影孤獨，
我將視線順著其中一條，遠遠眺望，
直到小徑鑽入灌木叢中。

然後選了另外一條，它同樣美麗宜人；
因為沿路草長及膝，似乎等待旅人踐踏，
使我的選擇，或許有了更好的理由。
儘管往來的足跡，其實對兩者的磨損程度相當。

清晨新落的葉子，覆蓋了小徑，
腳下不曾被旅人步伐染污的落葉，
我踏上旅途。

噢！就把平坦的那條留待下一次吧！
然而一個旅程會導向另一個旅程，
這個道理我明白，
也不禁令我懷疑可有機會舊地重遊。

多年、多年以後的某個時刻
我將寬慰地吐著氣，述說這段經歷：
在金黃落葉滿鋪的樹林中，
眼前兩條小徑蜿蜒，而我…
我踏上乏人問津的那條，
也展開了截然不同的人生。
