Robert Frost罗伯特·弗罗斯特
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
金色的树林里分出两条路，
And sorry I could not travel both
可惜我不能同时去涉足，
And be one traveler, long I stood
我是个过客，在那路口久久伫立，
And looked down one as far as I could
我向着一条路极目望去，
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
直到它消失在丛林深处；
Then took the other, as just as fair,
但我却选择了另外一条路，或许这样公平，
And having perhaps the better claim,
或许有更好的理由，
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
它荒草萋萋，十分寂幽，
Though as for that the passing there
虽然在这条小路上，
Had worn them really about the same,
很少留下旅人的足迹。
And both that morning equally lay
而且，那天早上两条路上都铺满了
In leaves no step had trodden black.
落叶，没有脚印经过。
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
噢，留一条路给明天吧！
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
但我知道路径延绵无尽头，
I doubted if I should ever come back.
恐怕我难以再回返。
I shall be telling this with a sigh
或许，多年以后，在某个地方，
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
我将轻声叹息将往事回顾，
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
一片树林里分出两条路，
I took the one less traveled by,
而我选择了人迹更少的一条，
And that has made all the difference.
从此决定了我一生的道路。
《杀鹌鹑的少女》有这么一段话：
“当你老了，回顾一生，就会发觉：什么时候出国读书，什么时候决定做第一份职业、何时选定了对象而恋爱、什么时候结婚，其实都是命运的巨变。
只是当时站在三岔路口，眼见风云千樯，你作出选择的那一日，在日记上，相当沉闷和平凡，当时还以为是生命中普通的一天。”
无数条纵横交错的山间小径，盘盘区区，铺满金色的落叶，摆在你面前，你踏上哪一条？
每天摆在眼前的道路如此之多，无论作何选择，都要热爱生命，不去想是否能够成功，既然选择了远方，便只顾风雨兼程。
