Robert Frost's known poem: The Road Not Taken（罗勃•佛洛斯特：没有走过的路）

TWO roads diverged¹ in a yellow wood, （黄树林里有两条路）
And sorry I could not travel both　　　 （只可惜我不能都踏行）

And be one traveler, long I stood （我，单独的旅人，伫立良久）
And looked down one as far as I could （极目眺望一条路的尽头）

To where it bent² in the undergrowth; （看它隐没在丛林深处）
Then took the other, as just as fair, （于是我选择了另一条路）

And having perhaps the better claim, （一样平直，也许更值得）
Because it was grassy³ and wanted wear; （因为青草茵茵，还未被踏过）

Had worn them really about the same, （若有过往人踪）
Though as for that the passing there （路的状况会相差无几）

And both that morning equally lay （那天早晨，两条路都覆盖在枯叶下）
In leaves no step had trodden⁴ black. （没有践踏的污痕）

Oh, I kept the first for another day! （啊，原先那条路留给另一天吧！）
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, （明知一条路会引出另一条路，）

I doubted if I should ever come back （我怀疑我是否会回到原处。）
I shall be telling this with a sigh （在许多许多年以后，在某处，）

Somewhere ages and ages hence: （我会轻轻叹息说：）
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- （黄树林里分*两条路，而我，）

I took the one less traveled by, （我选择了较少人迹的一条，）
And that has made all the difference （使得一切多么地不同。）
