The road not taken　　　Robert Frost 

沒有走的路　　　　　　（美）羅勃．佛洛斯特 



Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 
黃樹林裡分叉兩條路， 

And sorry I could not travel both 
只可惜我不能都踏行。 

And be one traveler, long I stood 
我，單獨的旅人，佇立良久， 

And looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; 
極目眺望一條路的盡頭，看他隱沒在林從深處。 

Then took the other, as just as fair, 
於是我選擇了另一條路， 

And having perhaps the better claim, 
一樣平直，也許更值得， 

Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 
因為青草茵茵，還未被踩過， 

Though as for that the passing there had worn them really about the same, 
若有過往人蹤，路的狀況會相差無幾。 

And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black. 
那天早晨，兩條路都覆蓋在枯葉下，沒有踐踏的污痕； 

Oh, I kept the first for another day! 
啊，原先那條路留給另一天吧！ 

Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 
明知一條路會引出另一條路， 

I doubted if I should ever come back. 
我懷疑我是否會回到原處。 

I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: 
在許多許多年以後，在某處，我會輕輕嘆息說： 

Two roads diverged in a wood, and 
黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，而我---- 

I took the one less traveled by, 
選擇了較少人跡的一條， 

And that has made all the difference. 
使得一切多麼地不同。
