《未選擇之路》 羅伯特·佛洛斯特著

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

在金黃樹林中分出二路，

And sorry I could not travel both

可惜我無法皆涉足，

And be one traveler,

身為旅行者，

long I stood and looked down one as far as I could

我站立良久並極力眺望遠方，

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

直到小路蜿蜒至灌木叢中。

Then took the other, as just as fair,

接著我選擇另外一路，風景同樣迷人，

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

或許更勝一籌， 因為沿途亂碧萋萋、人煙罕至。

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

儘管對兩路而言， 我的到來並沒有太大差別。

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

那日早晨兩路地面 皆覆蓋著未曾被人踏過落葉。

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

噢！將前面那條路留到別日吧！

然而，每條道路連接至不同的地方，

I doubted if I should ever come back.

令我懷疑以後是否有機會回來。

I shall be telling this with a sigh

多年之後，在某處，

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

我將帶著嘆息訴說此事，

樹林中有兩條岔路，而我——

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

選擇了一條人煙稀少的路，

而這造就了往後不同的生活。
