沒有選中的路 The Road Not Taken - 城市漫步

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

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 wood, and I–
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，
只可惜我不能都踏行。

我，單獨的旅人，佇立良久
極目眺望一條路的盡頭
看它隱沒在叢林深處。

於是我選擇了另一條路，
一樣平直，也許更值得，
因為青草茵茵，還未被踏過，
儘管另一條路，
同樣等候某人踏上。

那天早晨，兩條路都覆蓋在枯葉下，
沒有踐踏的污痕：
啊，原先那條路留給另一天吧！
明知一條路會引出另一條路，
我懷疑我是否會回到原處。

在許多許多年以後，在某處，
我會輕輕歎息說：
兩條道在樹林中分叉而出，我－－
選中了那條少人行走的路，
它因此帶來了全然不同的結局。
