▍原文

The Road Not Taken 
未选择的路

Robert Frost
罗伯特·弗罗斯特

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 
And sorry I could not travel both 
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could 
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 
And having perhaps the better claim; 
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 
Though as for that, the passing there 
Had worn them really about the same, 

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden 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;
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I— I took the less traveled by, 
And that has made all the difference.
⻩色的树林里分出两条路 
可惜我不能同行两条路 
我是一名旅者 
在路口久久伫立，极目望去 
有一条路，消失在灌木丛的弯道处 

而我选择了另一条路， 
或许这是个更好的选择。 
因为它荒草萋萋，十分幽寂; 
虽然在这条小路上， 
很少留下旅人的足迹。 

那天清晨落叶满地， 
两条路上未⻅足迹， 
噢，留下一条路等改日再⻅! 
但路径延绵无尽头， 
恐怕难以再返回。 
也许，从此很久以后在某个地方 

我将在感叹中回顾; 
在⻩色的树林里分出两条路， 
我选了少有人走的那条， 
从此改变了一切。

·轻重原则

重就是重音，轻是非重音。
在连贯的语句中，并不是每个单词的时长都一样，这一点和汉语有本质上的区别，英语的句子中，只在有重要含义的单词上有重音，其它无重要含义的单词会一带而过，甚至听起来非常模糊。

And sorry I could not travel both 
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could 
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
