The Road Not Taken      Robert Frost (1874–1963)

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,      黃樹林中二路分歧
And sorry I could not travel both            可惜的是我無法二路皆行
And be one traveler, long I stood           我，旅者隻身，佇立良久
And looked down one as far as I could    極目眺望一路之盡頭
To where it bent in the undergrowth;    見它蜿蜒隱沒林子深處

Then took the other, as just as fair,   望向另一路，秀美相仿
And having perhaps the better claim,   甚至更有引人之處
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;   因其碧草如茵、鮮少人跡
Though as for that the passing there   儘管回頭再望兩路
Had worn them really about the same,     狀況差別不大

And both that morning equally lay   當日早晨二路同時
In leaves no step had trodden black. 覆於落葉之下無踐踏之跡
Oh, I kept the first for another day!   喔！我將其中一路留於他日
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,   然深知路路相接
I doubted if I should ever come back.   我懷疑我是否有機會再訪

I shall be telling this with a sigh    此後多年我將
Somewhere ages and ages hence:   嘆息說道
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—   樹林中兩路分岔，而我
I took the one less traveled by,   我選擇少人足跡的一條
And that has made all the difference.   此後竟是全然不同。
