The Road Not Taken
本诗赏析:《未取之路》是弗罗斯特最广为传诵的作品之一,选自其诗集《山间》(Mountain Interval)。诗歌通过岔路口比喻人生的一些选择。这些选择一旦决定了,便再也没有回头的余地。对这首诗最常见的理解是诗人选择了一条较少人的路,借此鼓励人们勇于作出自己的选择,不要走别人走过的路。然而诗中存在许多含糊不清的地方,不同的人读后会有截然不同的感受。例如有人提出,诗人究竟认为自己的选择正确与否?—因为诗中并未说明今天的不同是好还是不好。诗人留下的许多不确定的地方,很值得我们去思考。

And having perhaps the better claim[声言],
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn注 them really about the same,
And both that morning equally[相等地] lay
In leaves no step had trodden[踏] 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[因此]:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I |
