译者:舒心

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both.

金黄的树林深处，有两条分叉的路，可惜我不能一一涉足

And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could.

孤独的旅者，久久地徘徊在路口，目光投向一条路的尽头

To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair,

直到它消失在灌木丛中， 转身踏上另一条路，一条看起来合情合理的路

And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

那一刻，这条路有着强大的吸引力，只因它青草萋萋，只因它鲜有人迹

as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

而那些路过的人们，看起来也没有什么不一样

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.

那天清晨，两条路静静地躺在没有被踩踏的落叶间

Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

哦！留下一条路给明天吧，尽管我深深明白，路途遥远，归期难待

I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh

我不敢确定我是否会后悔，也许多年以后， 我会在某地轻轻地叹息

Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood,and I

一片树林里，有两条分叉的路

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

而我选择了少有人走的那一条， 于是一切都不一样了

罗伯特·弗罗斯特（Robert Frost 1874年3月26日——1963年1月29日），美国诗人。

选择了荒芜的路，经历痛苦、磨难，旅途中不断回想起那条未选择的路。“要是我走那条未选择的路，也许我就不会这般痛苦？”诗人写出了漫长人生路中的种种迷惘、惆怅。全诗最后并没有指出诗人选择那条路以后最终的结局，只是说“And that has made all the difference”。
