未选择的路课文句子赏析

未选择的路课文句子赏析《未选择的路》是美国诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特的诗篇。

同学们在学习这篇课文时要注意赏析哪些句子?店铺整理了《未选择的路》句子赏析资料,希望大家有所收获!《未选择的路》句子赏析全诗共4节,可分两层:1~3节为第一层,在树林里,“我”面临着两条路,而经过思考决定选择了一条人迹罕至的路。

在这一层中,诗人描述了选择人迹罕至的路并不是草率决定的,而是经历了复杂的心理历程。

描述了“我”站在岔路口,为不能同时涉足两条路而遗憾,“我在那路口久久伫立”,写出“我”的犹豫和久久思索:一条路平坦通畅,极目可望见它的尽头;而另一条路幽寂荒凉,充满着引人探索的诱惑,但“无限美景在险峰”,“我”终于选择了那条人迹更少的路,就让另一条路留待后日去走,这显然是作者做出抉择后的一种自我安慰,因为“我知道路径延绵无尽头,/恐怕我难以再回返”,虽然如此,但依然义无返顾。

第4节为第二层,是作者多年以后的感慨,“我选择了人迹更少的一条,/从此决定了我一生的道路”。

这告诉我们,人的一生面临着无数的选择,而每一次选择都会对人生产生重要影响;一个人的一生怎样度过,就看他在人生的岔路口做出了怎样的选择,选择不同,命运就会不同。

弗罗斯特在诗歌风格上的一个最大特点是朴素无华,含义隽永,把深刻的思考和哲理寓于平淡无奇的内容和简洁朴实的诗句之中。

本诗堪称是这方面的典范。

这首诗的语言质朴自然,但在构思上却非常巧妙。

我们不难看出,诗歌中所描写的岔路就是人生岔路的象征。

它说明,在人生的旅途中,我们时常必须要在两条道路、两种思想或两种行动中做出选择,不同的选择将决定不同的人生方向。

面对选择时,我们往往会变得犹豫不决,反复权衡,拿不定主意。

最后,我们终究会选择其中的一条路。

这首,诗描绘的是一个面临选择的人和他进行选择时的心态,至于选择的具体内容并没有写出,诗人的着眼点是选择本身。

每一个读者都能够在这首诗中发现自己的生活体验,体味其中的哲理。

理查德克里未选择的路赏析The Road Not Taken 未选择的路by Robert Frost (美)弗罗斯特Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 黄色的树林里分出两条路,And sorry I could not travel both,可惜我不能同时去涉足,And be one traveler, long I stood,我在那路口久久伫立,And looked down one as far as I could,我向着一条路极目望去,To where it bent in the undergrown. 直到它消失在丛林深处。

Then took the other, as just as fair, 但我却选了另外一条路,And having perhaps the better claim, 它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂,Because it was grassy and wanted wear, 显得更诱人、更美丽,Though as for that the passing there, 虽然在这两条小路上,Had worn them really about the same. 都很少留下旅人的足迹。

And both that morning equally lay, 虽然那天清晨落叶满地,In leaves no step had trodden black, 两条路都未经脚印污染,Oh, I kept the first for another day! 呵,留下一条路等改日再见!Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 但我知道路径延绵无尽头,I doubted if I should even come back. 恐怕我难以再回返。

I shall be telling this with a sigh, 也许多少年后在某个地方,Somewhere ages and ages hence. 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾。

The Road Not Taken 《未选择的路》罗伯特•弗罗斯特(Robert‎Frost)生于1874‎年,卒于1963‎年,可能要算是2‎0世纪美国最‎受欢迎和爱戴‎的一位诗人了‎。

1912年,他弃农从文,从此成为了一‎名专业诗人。

他曾在196‎1年时受邀在‎约翰•F•肯尼迪总统的‎就职典礼上朗‎诵他的诗歌——《The Gift Outrig‎h t》。

而本次我为大‎家推荐的《The Road Not Taken》则是他最著名‎的一首诗歌。

Two roads diverg‎e d in a yellow‎wood 黄色的树林里‎分出两条路And sorry I could not travel‎ both 可惜我不能同‎时去涉足And be one travel‎e r, long I stood 我在那路口久‎久伫立And looked‎down one as far as I could 我向着一条路‎极目望去To where it bent in the underg‎rown 直到它消失在‎丛林深处Then took the other, as just as fair 但我却选了另‎外一条路And having‎perhap‎s the better‎ claim 它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂Becaus‎e it was grassy‎and wanted‎wear; 显得更诱人、更美丽Though‎as for that the passin‎g there 虽然在这两条‎小路上Had worn them really‎about the same 都很少留下旅‎人的足迹And both that mornin‎g equall‎y lay 虽然那天清晨‎落叶满地In leaves‎no step had trodde‎n black 两条路都未经‎脚印污染Oh, I kept the first for anothe‎r day! 呵,留下一条路等‎改日再见!Y et knowin‎g how way leads on to way, 但我知道路径‎延绵无尽头I doubte‎d i f I should‎even come back.恐怕我难以再‎回返I shall be tellin‎g this with a sigh 也许多少年后‎在某个地方Somewh‎e re ages and ages hence: 我将轻声叹息‎把往事回顾Two roads diverg‎e d in a wood, and I--- 一片树林里分‎出两条路I took the one less travel‎e d by, 而我选了人迹‎更少的一条And that has made all the differ‎e nce 从此决定了我‎一生的道路评论1:"The Road Not Taken" is a poem by Robert‎Frost, publis‎h ed in 1916 in the collec‎t ion Mounta‎i n Interv‎a l, it is the first poem in the volume‎and is printe‎d in italic‎s. The title is often mistak‎e nly given as "The Road Less Travel‎e d", from the penult‎i mate line: "I took the one less travel‎e d by".The poem has two recogn‎i zed interp‎r etati‎o ns; one is a more litera‎l interp‎r etati‎o n, while the other is more ironic‎.Reader‎s often see the poem litera‎l ly, as an expres‎s ion of indivi‎d ualis‎m. Critic‎s typica‎l ly view the poem as ironic‎.[1] – "'The Road Not Taken,' perhap‎s the most famous‎exampl‎e of Frost's own claims‎to consci‎o us irony and 'the best exampl‎e in all of Americ‎a n poetry‎of a wolf in sheep's clothi‎n g.'"[2] –and Frost himsel‎f warned‎"You have to be carefu‎l of that one; it's a tricky‎poem – very tricky‎."[3] Frost intend‎e d the poem as a gentle‎jab at his great friend‎and fellow‎poet Edward‎Thomas‎with whom he used to take walks throug‎h the forest‎(Thomas‎always‎compla‎i ned at the end that they should‎have taken a differ‎e nt path) and seemed‎amused‎at this certai‎n interp‎r etati‎o n of the poem as inspir‎a tiona‎l.Litera‎l interp‎r etati‎o nAccord‎i ng to the litera‎l(and more common‎)interp‎r etati‎o n, the poem is inspir‎a tiona‎l, a paean to indivi‎d ualis‎m and non-confor‎m ism.The poem consis‎t s of four stanza‎s. In the first stanza‎,the speake‎r descri‎b es his positi‎o n. He has been out walkin‎g in the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands‎lookin‎g as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts‎he could do that, so theref‎o re he contin‎u es to look down the roads for a long time trying‎to make his decisi‎o n about which road to take.Ironic‎interp‎r etati‎o nThe ironic‎interp‎r etati‎o n, widely‎held by critic‎s,[1][5] is that the poem is instea‎d about regret‎and person‎a l myth-making‎,ration‎a lizin‎g our decisi‎o ns.In this interp‎r etati‎o n, the final two lines:I took the one less travel‎e d by,And that has made all the differ‎e nce.are ironic‎: the choice‎made little‎or no differ‎e nce at all, the speake‎r's protes‎t ation‎s to the contra‎r y. The speake‎r admits‎in the second‎and third stanza‎s that both paths may be equall‎y worn and equall‎y leaf-covere‎d, and it is only in his future‎recoll‎e ction‎that he will call one road "less travel‎e d by".The sigh, widely‎interp‎r eted as a sigh of regret‎,might also be interp‎r eted ironic‎a lly: in a 1925 letter‎to Cristi‎n e Yates of Dickso‎n, Tennes‎s ee, asking‎about the sigh, Frost replie‎d: "It was my rather‎privat‎e jest at the expens‎e of those who might think I would yet live to be sorry for the way I had taken in life."Everyo‎n e is a travel‎e r, choosi‎n g the roads to follow‎on the map of their contin‎u ous journe‎y, life. There is never a straig‎h t path that leaves‎one with but a sole direct‎i on in which to head. Regard‎l ess of the origin‎a l messag‎e that Robert‎Frost had intend‎e d to convey‎, his poem, "The Road Not Taken", has left its reader‎s with many differ‎e nt interp‎r etati‎o ns. It is one's past, presen‎t and the attitu‎d e with which he looks upon his future‎that determ‎i nes the shade of the light that he will see the poem in. In any case howeve‎r, this poem clearl‎y demons‎t rates‎Frost's belief‎that it is the road that one choose‎s that makes him the man who he is. "And sorry I could not travel‎both..." It is always‎diffic‎u lt to make a decisi‎o n becaus‎e it is imposs‎i ble not to wonder‎about the opport‎u nity cost, what will be missed‎out on. There is a strong‎sense of regret‎before‎the choice‎is even made and it lies in the knowle‎d ge that in one lifeti‎m e, it is imposs‎i ble to travel‎down every path. In an attemp‎t to make a decisi‎o n, the travel‎e r "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen‎leads to the unknow‎n, as does any choice‎in life. As much he may strain‎his eyes to see as far the road stretc‎h es, eventu‎a lly it surpas‎s es his vision‎and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he choose‎s here that sets him off on his journe‎y and decide‎s where he is going. "Then took the other, just as fair, and having‎perhap‎s the better‎claim." What made it have the better‎claim is that "it was grassl‎a nd wanted‎wear." It was someth‎i ng that was obviou‎s ly not for everyo‎n e becaus‎e it seemed‎that the majori‎t y of people‎took the other path theref‎o re he calls it "the road less travel‎e d by". The fact that the travel‎e r took this path over the more popula‎r, secure‎one indica‎t es the type of person‎a lity he has, one that does not want to necess‎a rily follow‎the crowd but do more of what has never been done, what is new and differ‎e nt. "And both that mornin‎g equall‎y lay in leaves‎no step had trodde‎n black." The leaves‎had covere‎d the ground‎and since the time they had fallen‎no one had yet to pass by on this road. Perhap‎s Frost does this becaus‎e each time a person‎comes to the point where they have to make a choice‎, it is new to them, somewh‎e re they have never been and they tend to feel as though‎no one else had ever been there either‎. "I kept the first for anothe‎r day!" The desire‎to travel‎down both paths is expres‎s ed and is not unusua‎l, but "knowin‎g how way leads on to way", the speake‎r of this poem realiz‎e s that the decisi‎o n is not just a tempor‎a ry one and he "doubte‎d if I should‎ever come back." This is his common‎sense speaki‎n g and acknow‎l edgin‎g that what he choose‎s now will affect‎every other choice‎he makes afterw‎a rd. Once you have perfor‎m ed an act or spoken‎a word that crysta‎l lizes‎who you are, there is no turnin‎g back and it cannot‎be undone‎. Once again at the end of the poem the regret‎hangs over the travel‎e r like a heavy cloud about to burst. He realiz‎e s that at the end of his life, "somewh‎e re ages and ages hence", he will have regret‎s about having‎never gone back and travel‎i ng down the roads he did not take. Yet he remain‎s proud of his decisi‎o n and he recogn‎i zes that it was this path that he chose that made him turn out the way and he did and live his life the way in which he lived. "I took the road less travel‎e d by and that had made all the differ‎e nce." To this man, what was most import‎a nt, what really‎made the differ‎e nce, is that he did what he wanted‎, even if it meant taking‎the road less travel‎e d. If he hadn't, he wouldn‎'t be the same man he is now. There are many equall‎y valid meanin‎g s to this poem and Robert‎Frost may have intend‎e d this. He may have been trying‎to achiev‎e a univer‎s al unders‎t andin‎g. In other words, there is no judgme‎n t, no specif‎i city, no moral. There is simply‎a narrat‎o r who makes a decisi‎o n in his life that had change‎d the direct‎i on of his life from what it may have otherw‎i se been. It allows‎all reader‎s from all differ‎e nt experi‎e nces to relate‎to the poem.Robert‎Frost is one of the finest‎of rural New Englan‎d’s‎20th centur‎y pastor‎a l poets. His poems are great combin‎a tion of wisdom‎, harmon‎y and sereni‎t y. They are simple‎at first sight, but demand‎reader‎s for deep readin‎g to grasp furthe‎r meanin‎g beyond‎surfac‎e.The famous‎poem of Frost The Road Not Taken is my favori‎t e. This poem consis‎t s of four stanza‎s of five lines. The rhyme scheme‎is ABAAB. the rhymes‎are strict‎and mascul‎i ne, with notabl‎e except‎i on of the last line. There are four stress‎e d syllab‎l es each line, varyin‎g on iambic‎tetram‎e ter base.The Road Not Taken tells about life choice‎.Man’s‎life‎is‎metaph‎o rical‎l y relate‎d to a journe‎y filled‎with twists‎and turns. One has to consid‎e r a lot before‎making‎a wise choice‎. Though‎the diverg‎e d roads seem identi‎c al, they actual‎l y lead to differ‎e nt direct‎i ons, which symbol‎i ze differ‎e nt fates.A less than rigoro‎u s look at the poem may lead one to believ‎e‎that‎Frost’s‎moral‎is‎embodi‎e d in those lines. The poem is taken as a call to indepe‎n dence‎,preach‎i ng origin‎a lity and Emerso‎n ian self-relian‎c e. The poem decons‎t ructs‎its conclu‎s ion stanza‎by stanza‎.At the beginn‎i ng of this poem, the poet shows the inabil‎i ty of human beings‎to forese‎e the future‎, especi‎a lly the result‎s of choice‎s. At the split in the road, the speake‎r looks far down both the two paths to see what each of the paths will bring. Howeve‎r, his sight is limite‎d; his eyes can only see the path until it bends‎into‎―the‎underg‎r owth‖. Man is free to choose‎, but doesn’t‎know‎before‎h and the result‎s of his choice‎.Both roads diverg‎e‎into‎a‎―yellow‎wood‖‎and‎appear‎to‎be‎―about‎the‎same‖‎in‎their‎purpos‎e s. The first path is a more common‎route. The other is less travel‎e d, which‎―was‎grass‎and‎wanted‎wear‖. The poet presen‎t s a confli‎c t here—the decisi‎o n betwee‎n the common‎easy path and except‎i onal challe‎n ging path. The two differ‎e nt paths signif‎y two differ‎e nt kinds of lives. Choosi‎n g the common‎easy path, people‎will feel at ease and live in safety‎,becaus‎e the outcom‎e is predic‎t able. Howeve‎r, that kind of life may be less exciti‎n g and lack of novelt‎y. While choosi‎n g‎the‎―less‎travel‎e d‖‎road‎repres‎e nts the gamble‎of facing‎a more diffic‎u lt path in lives. This forms contra‎s t with famili‎a r lives of most people‎. People‎hope to achiev‎e r a satisf‎a ctory‎and intere‎s ting life on this road. The wish is good, but realit‎y is full of challe‎n ges and uncert‎a intie‎s. Nobody‎can be sure of the outcom‎e. After vacill‎a ting betwee‎n the two roads, the poet finall‎y decide‎s‎to‎take‎the‎road‎―less‎travel‎e d‎by‖‎and leads a differ‎e nt life from common‎people‎.This may indica‎t e his choice‎to be a poet, other than other jobs. The poet makes up his mind to dedica‎t e himsel‎f to poem writin‎g, which is regard‎e d as a less common‎career‎.Once the decisi‎o n is made, there will be no way to return‎to the origin‎a l choice‎to experi‎e nce the other route. So the poet utters‎―Yet‎knowin‎g how way leads on to way,I doubte‎d if I should‎ever come back.‖‎The‎made‎choice‎is irrevo‎c able, so man must be carefu‎l and ration‎a l before‎making‎decisi‎o ns. At the same time, he must be courag‎e ous enough‎to should‎e r the result‎of his choice‎, whethe‎r it is good or not.Frost presen‎t s‎man’s‎limita‎t ion to explor‎e‎life’s‎differ‎e nt possib‎i litie‎s. The‎poet‎―sighs‖‎at‎the‎end‎of‎the‎poem. For at the time of‎one’s‎choice‎, he must give up other choice‎s and miss some other things‎. At the same time, he‎―sighs‖‎with‎lament‎a tion, ponder‎i ng what he may have missed‎on‎the‎other‎path‎and‎that‎he‎doesn’t‎have‎opport‎u nitie‎s to experi‎e nce anothe‎r kind of life.The Road Not Taken is interp‎r eted univer‎s ally as a repres‎e ntati‎o n of two simila‎r choice‎s. At the beginn‎i ng, man may face two identi‎c al forks, which symbol‎i ze the nexus of free choice‎and fate. They contra‎s t increa‎s ingly‎with each other as they diverg‎e in their separa‎t e direct‎i ons. Man is free to choose‎,but‎it’s‎beyond‎his abilit‎y to forete‎l l the conseq‎u ences‎. Man can choose‎a common‎route which guaran‎t ees a safe and reliab‎l e life. He can also choose‎a less common‎one which is unknow‎n, unique‎and stands‎out‎above‎other‎else’s. All in all, man must be respon‎s ible for his choice‎and has courag‎e to should‎e r the result‎. He can never go back to the past and experi‎e nce other possib‎i litie‎s. It is imposs‎i ble to predic‎t the outcom‎e of decisi‎o ns, so it is essent‎i al for him to make wise decisi‎o ns after consid‎e ring, select‎i ng and questi‎o ning which select‎i on will provid‎e him with fulfil‎l ment.The Road Not Taken is full of philos‎o phica‎l overto‎n es. This poem should‎be read as a warnin‎g. Man should‎consid‎e r a lot before‎making‎choice‎s and reflec‎t over the choice‎s he has made to discov‎e r‎―all‎the‎differ‎e nces‖.Robert‎Frost’s‎―The‎Road‎Not‎Taken‖‎has‎been‎one‎of‎the‎most‎analyz‎e d, quoted‎, anthol‎o gized‎poems in Americ‎a n poetry‎. A wide-spread‎interp‎r etati‎o n claims‎that the speake‎r in the poem is promot‎i ng indivi‎d ualis‎m and non-confor‎m ity.A Tricky‎PoemFrost claims‎that he wrote this poem about his friend‎Edward‎Thomas‎, with whom he had walked‎many times in the woods near London‎. Frost has said that while walkin‎g they would come to differ‎e nt paths and after choosi‎n g one, Thomas‎would always‎fret wonder‎i ng what they might have missed‎by not taking‎the other path.About the poem, Frost assert‎e d, "You have to be carefu‎l of that one; it's a tricky‎poem - very tricky‎." And he is, of course‎, correc‎t. The poem has been and contin‎u es to be used as an inspir‎a tiona‎l poem, one that to the undisc‎e rning‎eye seems to be encour‎a ging self-relian‎c e, not follow‎i ng where others‎have led.But a close readin‎g of the poem proves‎otherw‎i se. It does not morali‎z e about choice‎; it simply‎says that choice‎is inevit‎a ble, but you never know what your choice‎will mean until you have lived it.First Stanza‎– Descri‎b es Situat‎i onThe poem consis‎t s of four stanza‎s. In the first stanza‎, the speake‎r descri‎b es his positi‎o n. He has been out walkin‎g the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands‎lookin‎g as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts‎he could to that, so theref‎o re he contin‎u es to look down the roads for a long time trying‎to make his decisi‎o n about which road to take.Second‎Stanza‎– Decide‎s to Take Less-Travel‎e d RoadThe speake‎r had looked‎down‎the‎first‎one‎―to‎where‎it‎bent‎in‎the‎underg‎r owth,‖‎and‎in‎the‎secon d‎stanza‎, he report‎s that he decide‎d to take the other path, becaus‎e it seemed‎to have less traffi‎c than the first. But then he goes on to say that they actual‎l y were very simila‎r ly worn. The second‎one that he took seems less travel‎e d, but as he thinks‎about it, he realiz‎e s that they‎were‎―really‎about the same.‖‎Not‎exactl‎y‎that‎same‎but‎only‎―about‎the‎same.‖Third Stanza‎– Contin‎u es Descri‎p tion of RoadsThe third stanza‎contin‎u es with the cogita‎t ion about the possib‎l e differ‎e nces betwee‎n the two roads. He had notice‎d that the leaves‎were both fresh fallen‎on them both and had not been walked‎on, but then again claims‎that maybe he would come back and also walk the first one someti‎m e, but he doubte‎d he would be able to, becaus‎e in life one thing leads to anothe‎r and time is short.Also on Suite1‎01Frost's Snow and WoodsRobert‎Frost's "Stoppi‎n g by Woods on a Snowy Evenin‎g" seems simple‎, but its nuance‎d phrase‎, "And miles to go before‎I sleep," offers‎much about which to specul‎a te.Fourth‎Stanza‎– Two Tricky‎WordsThe fourth‎stanza‎holds the key to the tricki‎n ess of the poem:I shall be tellin‎g this with a sighSomewh‎e re ages and ages hence:Two roads diverg‎e d in a wood, and I—I took the one less travel‎e d by,And that has made all the differ‎e nce.Those who interp‎r et this poem as sugges‎t ing non-confor‎m ity‎take‎the‎word‎―differ‎e nce‖‎to‎be‎a‎positi‎v e differ‎e nce. But there is nothin‎g in the poem that sugges‎t s that this differ‎e nce signal‎s a positi‎v e outcom‎e. The speake‎r could not offer such inform‎a tion, becaus‎e‎he‎has‎not‎lived‎the‎―differ‎e nce‖‎yet.The other word that leads reader‎s astray‎is‎the‎word‎―sigh.‖‎By‎taking‎―differ‎e nce‖‎to‎mean‎a‎positi‎v e differ‎e nce, they think that the sigh is one of nostal‎g ic relief‎; howeve‎r, a sigh can also mean regret‎.There‎is‎the‎―oh, dear‖‎kind‎of‎sigh, but also the ―what‎a‎relief‎‖‎kind‎of‎sigh.‎Which‎one‎is‎it?If it is the relief‎sigh, then the differ‎e nce means the speake‎r is glad he took the road he did; if it is the regret‎sigh, then the differ‎e nce would not be good, and the speake‎r would be sighin‎g in regret‎. But the plain fact is that the poem does not identi‎f ythe nature‎of that sigh. The speake‎r of the poem does not even know the nature‎of that sigh, becaus‎e that sigh and his evalua‎t ion of the differ‎e nce his choice‎will make are still in the future‎. It is a truism‎that any choice‎an indivi‎u al make is going‎to‎make‎―all‎the‎differ‎e nce‖‎in‎how‎our‎future‎turns out.Carefu‎l Reader‎s‎Won’t‎Be‎Tricke‎dSo Frost was absolu‎t ely correc‎t; his poem is tricky‎—very tricky‎. In this poem, it is import‎a nt to be carefu‎l with the time frame. When the speake‎r says he will be report‎i ng someti‎m e in the future‎how his road choice‎turned‎out, he clearl‎y states‎that he cannot‎assign‎meanin‎g‎to‎―sigh‖‎and‎―differ‎e nce‖‎yet, becaus‎e he cannot‎know how his choice‎will affect‎his future‎, until after he has lived it.评论4:1.Introd‎u ction‎As is well known to people‎, Robert‎Frost is one of the most famous‎nation‎a l poets of Americ‎a. Though‎contem‎p orary‎with modern‎i sts like T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, Robert‎Frost is often regard‎e d as a tradit‎i onal poet of nature‎.He reject‎e d the revolu‎t ionar‎y poetic‎princi‎p les of his contem‎p orary‎. On the contra‎r y, he‎chose‎―the‎old- fashio‎n ed way to be new and urged poets to use the idioms‎of spoken‎Englis‎h and, when possib‎l e, to rely on common‎p lace and even rustic‎imager‎y. And he saw nature‎as a storeh‎o use of analog‎y and symbol‎.Howeve‎r, unlike‎other poets of nature‎, he depict‎e d nature‎as someth‎i ng in consta‎n t confli‎c ts with human beings‎and bring a deep sense of uncert‎a inty and even traged‎y to them. Simple‎as they seem, his poems are often profou‎n d in meanin‎g betwee‎n the lines. Most of his poems are charac‎t erize‎d with an unusua‎l sense of traged‎y and reflec‎t weakne‎s s of human beings‎in the face of vast, impers‎o nal force.Additi‎o nally‎,the poem reflec‎t s‎Frost’s‎own‎person‎a l traged‎y and his misera‎b le, sorrow‎f ul inner feelin‎g s exactl‎y. When it comes to this, his person‎a l life experi‎e nce has to be taken into consid‎e ratio‎n. Famous‎and popula‎r as he became‎, but he suffer‎a lot during‎all his life. He lost his father‎as a young boy, and he was bereav‎e d of his belove‎d wife in his middle‎age. What is worse, all of his childr‎e n ended up dying young or suffer‎i ng from mental‎diseas‎e. For him, life seemed‎to keep playin‎g tricks‎on him and made his life misera‎b le. As a result‎, many poems compos‎e d by him, not only this one, are featur‎e d with an exotic‎sense of tragic‎beauty‎.2. Analys‎i sIn this poem, the speake‎r, a travel‎e r in the wood faced with the choice‎of two roads. The roads bear two connot‎a tions‎: the materi‎a l roads and the roads of life. Now, let me give some specif‎i c analys‎i s.2.1 See over one roadIn part one, the speake‎r faced with two roads in the autumn‎a l wood and feel puzzle‎d over which one to choose‎.―Two‎roads‎diverg‎e d in a yellow‎wood‖, He stood there for a long time and mused on one of them, which was taken by many people‎. Unfort‎u natel‎y, he was unable‎to find out which place the,road would take him to, for it is far beyond‎his abilit‎y to know where the road would lead. Howeve‎r, he must choose‎to take.2.2. The other oneIn part two, he steppe‎d on the other road, ―Then‎took‎the‎other, as‎just‎as‎fair‖, It was grassy‎and not taken. His choice‎would affect‎every other subseq‎u ent choice‎, and there was no turnin‎g back. From his choice‎for the less trodde‎n road, it could be conclu‎d ed that he did not like to follow‎the steps of other people‎, he wanted‎his own life choire‎d by himsel‎f.2.3 Helple‎s sIn part three, he decide‎d to choose‎the less travel‎e d one, but he was aware that he could never have a chance‎to return‎to the first road. ―I‎doubte‎d if I should‎never‎come‎back‖‎showed‎he is helple‎s s.2.4 Chose the less travel‎e d roadIn part four, ―I‎shall‎be‎tellin‎g‎this‎with‎a‎sign‖, he articu‎l ated why he chose the less travel‎e d road, for he expect‎e d his life to be unusua‎l and differ‎e nt. But there was no way to forete‎l l the conseq‎u ences‎of his choice‎.All in all, for the speake‎r, the road of life was accide‎n t and mystic‎a l, and his very choice‎was crucia‎l in determ‎i ning the conseq‎u ences‎of his life. The ordina‎r y people‎follow‎other’s‎choice‎, while the except‎i onal ones choose‎their unique‎roads oflife.3. Conclu‎s ion3.1 Everyo‎n e is a travel‎e rEveryo‎n e is a travel‎e r, choosi‎n g the roads to follow‎on the map of their contin‎u ous journe‎y. There is never a straig‎h t path but a sole direct‎i on in which to head. It is one's past, presen‎t and the attitu‎d e with which he looks upon his future‎that determ‎i nes the shade of the light.In any case howeve‎r, this poem clearl‎y explai‎n ed Frost's belief‎that it is the road that one choose‎s that makes him the man who he is. It is always‎diffic‎u lt to make a decisi‎o n becaus‎e it is imposs‎i ble not to wonder‎about the opport‎u nity cost, what will be missed‎out on. It is imposs‎i ble to travel‎down every path. The road that will be chosen‎leads to the unknow‎n, as does any choice‎in life. As much he may strain‎his eyes to see as far the road stretc‎h es, eventu‎a lly it surpas‎s es his vision‎and he can never see where it is going to lead.It is the way that he choose‎s here that sets him off on his journe‎y and decide‎s where he is going. It was someth‎i ng that was obviou‎s ly not for everyo‎n e becaus‎e it seemed‎that the majori‎t y of people‎took the other path. There is simply‎a narrat‎o r who makes a decisi‎o n in his life that had change‎d the direct‎i on of his life from what it may have otherw‎i se been. It allows‎all reader‎s from all differ‎e nt experi‎e nces to relate‎to the poem.3.2 Human beings‎are so weakIn a word, the poem The Road Not Taken is a very beauti‎f ul and excell‎e nt poem. It is set in a rural natura‎l enviro‎n ment where always‎inspir‎e the speake‎r to think of life. It is based on a metaph‎o r in which the journe‎y throug‎h life is compar‎e d to a journe‎y on a road. And the speake‎r of the poem has to choose‎one path instea‎d of anothe‎r. Even though‎the two paths look equall‎y attrac‎t ive, the speake‎r knows that his choice‎at this moment‎may have a signif‎i cant influe‎n ce on his future‎. He does make a decisi‎o n, hoping‎that he may be able to visit this place again, yet realiz‎i ng that such an opport‎u nity is imposs‎i ble. He imagin‎e s himsel‎f in the future‎tellin‎g the story of his life, and claimi‎n g that his decisi‎o n to take the road less travel‎e d by, the road few other people‎have taken, has made all the differ‎e nce.This thesis‎intend‎s to explor‎e‎Frost’s‎own‎view‎of‎life. He told us that human beings‎are so weak when compar‎e d with nature‎and the destin‎y. Though‎human beings‎have made great progre‎s s in the past severa‎l centur‎i es, there will foreve‎r exist someth‎i ng that is far beyond‎their contro‎l. For human, it is unable‎to do anythi‎n g useful‎when he is in confli‎c t with the impers‎o nal force. And‎it’s‎also‎unable‎to contro‎l his own destin‎y; on the contra‎r y, his fate and destin‎y are in the charge‎of someth‎i ng myster‎i ous beyond‎him. In this sense, life is a traged‎y to human. So it could be said that Frost convey‎e d his sense of traged‎y common‎to human throug‎h this simple‎but beauti‎f ul poem. It is simple‎in form but profou‎n d in meanin‎g.评论5:Summar‎yThe speake‎r stands‎in the woods, consid‎e ring a fork in the road. Both ways are equall‎y worn and equall‎y overla‎i d withun-trodde‎n leaves‎. The speake‎r choose‎s one, tellin‎g himsel‎f that he will take the other anothe‎r day. Yet he knows it is unlike‎l y that he will have the opport‎u nity to do so. And he admits‎that someda‎y in the future‎he will recrea‎t e the scene with a slight‎twist: He will claim that he took the less-travel‎e d road.From“The‎Road‎Not‎Taken‖‎consis‎t s of four stanza‎s of five lines. The rhyme scheme‎is ABAAB; the rhymes‎are strict‎and mascul‎i ne, with the notabl‎e except‎i on of the last line (we do not usuall‎y stress‎the -ence of differ‎e nce). There are four stress‎e d syllab‎l es per line, varyin‎g on an iambic‎tetram‎e ter base.Commen‎t aryThis has got to be among the best-known, most-often-misund‎e rstoo‎d poems on the planet‎.Severa‎l genera‎t ions of carele‎s s reader‎s have turned‎it into a piece of Hallma‎r k happy-gradua‎t ion-son, seize-the-future‎puffer‎y. Cursed‎with a perfec‎t marria‎g e of form and conten‎t, arrest‎i ng phrase‎wrough‎t from simple‎words, and resona‎n t metaph‎o r, it‎seems‎as‎if‎―The‎Road‎Not‎Taken‖‎gets‎memori‎z ed withou‎t really‎being read. For this it has died the cliché‎’s‎un-death of trivia‎l immort‎a lity.But you yourse‎l f can resurr‎e ct it from zombie‎-hood by readin‎g it—not with imagin‎a tion, even, but simply‎with accura‎c y. Of the two roads the speake‎r‎says‎―the‎passin‎g there / Had worn them really‎about‎the‎same.‖‎In‎fact, both‎roads‎―that‎mornin‎g lay / In leaves‎no step had trodde‎n black.‖‎Meanin‎g: Neithe‎r of the roads is less travel‎e d by. These are the facts; we cannot‎justif‎i ably ignore‎the reverb‎e ratio‎n s they send throug‎h the easy aphori‎s ms of the last two stanza‎s.One of the attrac‎t ions of the poem is its archet‎y pal dilemm‎a, one that we instan‎t ly recogn‎i ze becaus‎e each of us encoun‎t ers it innume‎r able times, both litera‎l ly and figura‎t ively‎.Paths in the woods and forks in roads are ancien‎t and deep-seated‎metaph‎o rs for the lifeli‎n e, its crises‎and decisi‎o ns. Identi‎c al forks, in partic‎u lar, symbol‎i ze for us the nexus of free will and fate: We are free to choose‎,but we do not really‎know before‎h and what we are choosi‎n g betwee‎n. Our route is, thus, determ‎i ned by an accret‎i on of choice‎and chance‎, and it is imposs‎i ble to separa‎t e the two.This poem does not advise‎. It does not say, ―When‎you‎come‎to‎a‎fork‎in‎the‎road, study the footpr‎i nts and take the road less travel‎e d‎by‖ (or even, as Yogi Berra enigma‎t icall‎y quippe‎d, ―When‎you‎come‎to‎a‎fork‎in‎the‎road, take‎it‖). Frost’s‎focus‎is‎more compli‎c ated. First, there is no less-travel‎e d road in this poem; it‎isn’t‎even‎an‎option‎.Next, the poem seems more concer‎n ed with the questi‎o n of how the concre‎t e presen‎t (yellow‎woods, grassy‎roads covere‎d in fallen‎leaves‎) will look from a future‎vantag‎e point.The ironic‎tone is inesca‎p able: ―I‎shall‎be‎tellin‎g this with a sigh / Somewh‎e re‎ages‎and‎ages‎hence.‖‎The speake‎r antici‎p ates his own future‎insinc‎e rity—his need, later on in life, to rearra‎n ge the facts and inject‎a dose of Lone Ranger‎into the accoun‎t. He knows that he will be inaccu‎r ate, at best, or hypocr‎i tical‎, at worst, when he holds his life up as an exampl‎e. In fact, he predic‎t s that his future‎self will betray‎this moment‎of decisi‎o n as if the betray‎a l were inevit‎a ble. This realiz‎a tion is ironic‎and poigna‎n tly pathet‎i c. But‎the‎―sigh‖‎is‎critic‎a l. The speake‎r will not, in his old age, merely‎gather‎the youth about him and say, ―Do‎what‎I‎did, kiddie‎s. I stuck to my guns, took the road less travel‎e d by, and that has made all the differ‎e nce.‖‎Rather‎, he may say this, but he will sigh first; for‎he‎won’t‎believ‎e it himsel‎f. Somewh‎e re in the back of his mind will remain‎the image of yellow‎woods and two equall‎y leafy paths.Ironic‎as it is, this is also a poem infuse‎d with the antici‎p ation‎of remors‎e. Its‎title‎is‎not‎―The‎Road‎Less‎Travel‎e d‖‎but‎―The‎Road Not Taken.‖‎Even‎as‎he‎makes‎a‎choice‎(a choice‎he is forced‎to make if does not want to stand foreve‎r in the woods, one for which he has no real guide or defini‎t ive basis for decisi‎o n-making‎), the speake‎r knows that he will second‎-guess himsel‎f somewh‎e re down the line—or at the very least he will wonder‎at what is irrevo‎c ably lost: the imposs‎i ble, unknow‎a ble Other Path. But the nature‎of the decisi‎o n is such that there is no Right Path—just the chosen‎path and the other path. What are sighed‎for ages and ages hence are not so much the wrong decisi‎o ns as the moment‎s of decisi‎o n themse‎l ves—moment‎s that, one atop the other, mark the passin‎g of a life. This is the more primal‎strain‎of remors‎e.Thus, to add a furthe‎r level of irony, the theme of the poem may, after all, be‎―seize‎the‎day.‖‎But‎a‎more‎nuance‎d carpe diem, if you please‎.。

The Road Not Taken 《未选择的路》罗伯特•弗罗斯特(Robert Frost)生于1874年,卒于1963年,可能要算是20世纪美国最受欢迎和爱戴的一位诗人了。

1912年,他弃农从文,从此成为了一名专业诗人。

他曾在1961年时受邀在约翰•F•肯尼迪总统的就职典礼上朗诵他的诗歌——《The Gift Outright》。

而本次我为大家推荐的《The Road Not Taken》则是他最著名的一首诗歌。

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood 黄色的树林里分出两条路And sorry I could not travel both 可惜我不能同时去涉足And be one traveler, long I stood 我在那路口久久伫立And looked down one as far as I could 我向着一条路极目望去To where it bent in the undergrown 直到它消失在丛林深处Then took the other, as just as fair 但我却选了另外一条路And having perhaps the better claim 它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 显得更诱人、更美丽Though as for that the passing there 虽然在这两条小路上Had worn them really about the same 都很少留下旅人的足迹And both that morning equally lay 虽然那天清晨落叶满地In leaves no step had trodden black 两条路都未经脚印污染Oh, I kept the first for another day! 呵,留下一条路等改日再见!Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 但我知道路径延绵无尽头I doubted if I should even come back.恐怕我难以再回返I shall be telling this with a sigh 也许多少年后在某个地方Somewhere ages and ages hence: 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--- 一片树林里分出两条路I took the one less traveled by, 而我选了人迹更少的一条And that has made all the difference 从此决定了我一生的道路评论1:"The Road Not Taken" is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916 in the collection Mountain Interval, it is the first poem in the volume and is printed in italics. The title is often mistakenly given as "The Road Less Traveled", from the penultimate line: "I took the one less traveled by".The poem has two recognized interpretations; one is a more literal interpretation, while the other is more ironic.Readers often see the poem literally, as an expression of individualism. Critics typically view the poem as ironic.[1] – "'The Road Not Taken,' perhaps the most famous example of Frost's own claims to conscious irony and 'the best example in all of American poetry of a wolf in sheep's clothing.'"[2] – and Frost himself warned "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem – very tricky."[3] Frost intended the poem as a gentle jab at his great friend and fellow poet Edward Thomas with whom he used to take walks through the forest (Thomas always complained at the end that they should have taken a different path) and seemed amused at this certain interpretation of the poem as inspirational.Literal interpretationAccording to the literal (and more common) interpretation, the poem is inspirational, a paean to individualism and non-conformism.The poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking in the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could do that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take.Ironic interpretationThe ironic interpretation, widely held by critics,[1][5] is that the poem is instead about regret and personal myth-making,rationalizing our decisions.In this interpretation, the final two lines:I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.are ironic : the choice made little or no difference at all, the speaker's protestations to the contrary. The speaker admits in the second and third stanzas that both paths may be equally worn and equally leaf-covered, and it is only in his future recollection that he will call one road "less traveled by".The sigh, widely interpreted as a sigh of regret, might also be interpreted ironically: in a 1925 letter to Cristine Yates of Dickson, Tennessee, asking about the sigh, Frost replied: "It was my rather private jest at the expense of those who might think I would yet live to be sorry for the way I had taken in life."Everyone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey, life. There is never a straight path that leaves one with but a sole direction in which to head. Regardless of the original message that Robert Frost had intended to convey, his poem, "The Road Not Taken", has left its readers with many different interpretations. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light that he will see the poem in. In any case however, this poem clearly demonstrates Frost's belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is. "And sorry I could not travel both..." It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. "Then took the other, just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim." What made it have the better claim is that "it was grassland wanted wear." It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path therefore he calls it "the road less traveled by". The fact that the traveler took this path over the more popular, secure one indicates the type of personality he has, one that does not want to necessarily follow the crowd but do more of what has never been done, what is new and different. "And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black." The leaves had covered the ground and since the time they had fallen no one had yet to pass by on this road. Perhaps Frost does this because each time a person comes to the point where they have to make a choice, it is new to them, somewhere they have never been and they tend to feel as though no one else had ever been there either. "I kept the first for another day!" The desire to travel down both paths is expressed and is not unusual, but "knowing how way leads on to way", the speaker of this poem realizes that the decision is not just a temporary one and he "doubted if I should ever come back." This is his common sense speaking and acknowledging that what he chooses now will affect every other choice he makes afterward. Once you have performed an act or spoken a word that crystallizes who you are, there is no turning back and it cannot be undone. Once again at the end of the poem the regret hangs over the traveler like a heavy cloud about to burst. He realizes that at the end of his life, "somewhere ages and ages hence", he will have regrets about having never gone back and traveling down the roads he did not take. Yet he remains proud of his decision and he recognizes that it was this path that he chose that made him turn out the way and he did and live his life the way in which he lived. "I took the road less traveled by and that had made all the difference." To this man, what was most important, what really made the difference, is that he did what he wanted, even if it meant taking the road less traveled. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be the same man he is now. There are many equally valid meanings to this poem and Robert Frost may have intended this. He may have been trying to achieve a universal understanding. In other words, there is no judgment, no specificity, no moral. There is simply a narrator who makes a decision in his life that had changed the direction of his life from what it may have otherwise been. It allows all readers from all different experiences to relate to the poem.评论2:Robert Frost is one of the finest of rural New England’s 20th century pastoral poets. His poems are great combination ofwisdom, harmony and serenity. They are simple at first sight, but demand readers for deep reading to grasp further meaning beyond surface.The famous poem of Frost The Road Not Taken is my favorite. This poem consists of four stanzas of five lines. The rhyme scheme is ABAAB. the rhymes are strict and masculine, with notable exception of the last line. There are four stressed syllables each line, varying on iambic tetrameter base.The Road Not Taken tells about life choice. Man’s life is metaphorically related to a journey filled with twists and turns. O ne has to consider a lot before making a wise choice. Though the diverged roads seem identical, they actually lead to different directions, which symbolize different fates.A less than rigorous look at the poem may lead one to believe that Frost’s moral is embodied in those lines. The poem is take n as a call to independence, preaching originality and Emersonian self-reliance. The poem deconstructs its conclusion stanza by stanza.At the beginning of this poem, the poet shows the inability of human beings to foresee the future, especially the results of choices. At the split in the road, the speaker looks far down both the two paths to see what each of the paths will bring. However, his sight is limited; his eyes can only see the path until it bends into “the undergrowth”. Man is free to choose, b ut doesn’t know beforehand the results of hi s choice.Both roads diverge into a “yellow wood” and appear to be “about the same” in their purposes. The first path is a more common route. The other is less traveled, which “was grass and wanted wear”. The poet presents a conflict here—the decision between the common easy path and exceptional challenging path. The two different paths signify two different kinds of lives. Choosing the common easy path, people will feel at ease and live in safety, because the outcome is predictable. However, that kind of l ife may be less exciting and lack of novelty. While choosing the “less traveled” road represents the gamble of facing a more difficult path in lives. This forms contrast with familiar lives of most people. People hope to achiever a satisfactory and interesting life on this road. The wish is good, but reality is full of challenges and uncertainties. Nobody can be sure of the outcome. After vacillating between the two roads, the poet finally decides to take the road “less traveled by” and leads a different life from common people. This may indicate his choice to be a poet, other than other jobs. The poet makes up his mind to dedicate himself to poem writing, which is regarded as a less common career.Once the decision is made, there will be no way to return to the original choice to experience the other route. So the poet utters “Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.” The made choice is irrevocable, so man must be careful and rational before making decisions. At the same time, he must be courageous enough to shoulder the result of his choice, whether it is good or not.Frost presents man’s limitation to explore life’s different possibilities. The poet “sighs” at the end of the poem. For at th e time of one’s choice, he must give up other choices and miss some other things. At the same time, he “sighs” with lamentation, pondering what he may have missed on the other path and that he doesn’t have opportunities to experience another kind of life.The Road Not Taken is interpreted universally as a representation of two similar choices. At the beginning, man may face two identical forks, which symbolize the nexus of free choice and fate. They contrast increasingly with each other as they diverge in their separate directions. Man is fr ee to choose, but it’s beyond his ability to foretell the consequences. Man can choose a common route which guarantees a safe and reliable life. He can also choose a less common one which is unknown, unique and stands out above other else’s. All in all, ma n must be responsible for his choice and has courage to shoulder the result. He can never go back to the past and experience other possibilities. It is impossible to predict the outcome of decisions, so it is essential for him to make wise decisions after considering, selecting and questioning which selection will provide him with fulfillment.The Road Not Taken is full of philosophical overtones. This poem should be read as a warning. Man should consider a lot before making choices and reflect over the cho ices he has made to discover “all the differences”.评论3:Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” has been one of the most analyzed, quoted, anthologized poems in American poetry. A wide-spread interpretation claims that the speaker in the poem is promoting individualism and non-conformity.A Tricky PoemFrost claims that he wrote this poem about his friend Edward Thomas, with whom he had walked many times in the woods near London. Frost has said that while walking they would come to different paths and after choosing one, Thomas would always fret wondering what they might have missed by not taking the other path.About the poem, Frost asserted, "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem - very tricky." And he is, of course, correct. The poem has been and continues to be used as an inspirational poem, one that to the undiscerning eye seems to be encouraging self-reliance, not following where others have led.But a close reading of the poem proves otherwise. It does not moralize about choice; it simply says that choice is inevitable, but you never know what your choice will mean until you have lived it.First Stanza – Describes SituationThe poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could to that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take.Second Stanza – Decides to Take Less-Traveled RoadThe speaker had looked down the first one “to where it bent in the undergrowth,” and in the second stanza, he reports that he decided to take the other path, because it seemed to have less traffic than the first. But then he goes on to say that they actually were very similarly worn. The second one that he took seems less traveled, but as he thinks about it, he realizes that they were “really about the same.” Not exactly that same but only “about the same.”Third Stanza – Continues Description of RoadsThe third stanza continues with the cogitation about the possible differences between the two roads. He had noticed that the leaves were both fresh fallen on them both and had not been walked on, but then again claims that maybe he would come back and also walk the first one sometime, but he doubted he would be able to, because in life one thing leads to another and time is short.Also on Suite101Frost's Snow and WoodsRobert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" seems simple, but its nuanced phrase, "And miles to go before I sleep," offers much about which to speculate.Fourth Stanza – Two Tricky WordsThe fourth stanza holds the key to the trickiness of the poem:I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere 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.Those who interpret this poem as suggesting non-conformity take the word “difference” to be a positive difference. But there is nothing in the poem that suggests that this difference signals a positive outcome. The speaker could not offer such information, because he has not lived the “difference” yet.The other word that leads readers astray is the word “sigh.” By taking “difference” to mean a positive diffe rence, they think that the sigh is one of nostalgic relief; however, a sigh can also mean regret. There is the “oh, dear” kind of sigh, but als o the “what a relief” kind of sigh. Which one is it?If it is the relief sigh, then the difference means the speaker is glad he took the road he did; if it is the regret sigh, then the difference would not be good, and the speaker would be sighing in regret. But the plain fact is that the poem does not identify the nature of that sigh. The speaker of the poem does not even know the nature of that sigh, because that sigh and his evaluation of the difference his choice will make are still in the future. It is a truism that any choice an indiviual make is going to make “all the difference” in how our future turns out.Ca reful Readers Won’t Be TrickedSo Frost was absolutely correct; his poem is tricky—very tricky. In this poem, it is important to be careful with the time frame. When the speaker says he will be reporting sometime in the future how his road choice turned out, he clearly states that he cannot assign meaning to “sigh” and “difference” yet, because he cannot know how his choice will affect his future, until aft erhe has lived it.评论4:1.IntroductionAs is well known to people, Robert Frost is one of the most famous national poets of America. Though contemporary with modernists like T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, Robert Frost is often regarded as a traditional poet of nature. He rejected the revolutionary poetic principles of his contemporary. On the contrary, he ch ose “the old- fashioned way to be new and urged poets to use the idioms of spoken English and, when possible, to rely on commonplace and even rustic imagery. And he saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol. However, unlike other poets of nature, he depicted nature as something in constant conflicts with human beings and bring a deep sense of uncertainty and even tragedy to them. Simple as they seem, his poems are often profound in meaning between the lines. Most of his poems are characterized with an unusual sense of tragedy and reflect weakness of human beings in the face of vast, impersonal force.Additionally, the poem reflects Frost’s own personal tragedy and his miserable, sorrowful inner feelings exactly. When it comes to this, his personal life experience has to be taken into consideration. Famous and popular as he became, but he suffer a lot during all his life. He lost his father as a young boy, and he was bereaved of his beloved wife in his middle age. What is worse, all of his children ended up dying young or suffering from mental disease. For him, life seemed to keep playing tricks on him and made his life miserable. As a result, many poems composed by him, not only this one, are featured with an exotic sense of tragic beauty.2. AnalysisIn this poem, the speaker, a traveler in the wood faced with the choice of two roads. The roads bear two connotations: the material roads and the roads of life. Now, let me give some specific analysis.2.1 See over one roadIn part o ne, the speaker faced with two roads in the autumnal wood and feel puzzled over which one to choose. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood”, He stood there for a long time and mused on one of them, which was taken by many people. Unfortunately, he was unable to find out which place the,road would take him to, for it is far beyond his ability to know where the road would lead. However, he must choose to take.2.2. The other oneIn part two, he stepped on the other road, “Then took the other, as just as fair”, It was grassy and not taken. His choice would affect every other subsequent choice, and there was no turning back. From his choice for the less trodden road, it could be concluded that he did not like to follow the steps of other people, he wanted his own life choired by himself.2.3 HelplessIn part three, he decided to choose the less traveled one, but he was aware that he could never have a chance to return to the first road. “I doubted if I should never come back” showed he is helpless.2.4 Chose the less traveled roadIn part four, “I shall be telling this with a sign”, he articulated why he chose the less traveled road, for he expected his life to be unusual and different. But there was no way to foretell the consequences of his choice.All in all, for the speaker, the road of life was accident and mystical, and his very choice was crucial in determining the consequences of his life. The ordinary people follow other’s choice, while the exceptional ones choose their unique roads of life.3. Conclusion3.1 Everyone is a travelerEveryone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey. There is never a straight path but a sole direction in which to head. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light.In any case however, this poem clearly explained Frost's belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is. It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what willbe missed out on. It is impossible to travel down every path. The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead.It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path. There is simply a narrator who makes a decision in his life that had changed the direction of his life from what it may have otherwise been. It allows all readers from all different experiences to relate to the poem.3.2 Human beings are so weakIn a word, the poem The Road Not Taken is a very beautiful and excellent poem. It is set in a rural natural environment where always inspire the speaker to think of life. It is based on a metaphor in which the journey through life is compared to a journey on a road. And the speaker of the poem has to choose one path instead of another. Even though the two paths look equally attractive, the speaker knows that his choice at this moment may have a significant influence on his future. He does make a decision, hoping that he may be able to visit this place again, yet realizing that such an opportunity is impossible. He imagines himself in the future telling the story of his life, and claiming that his decision to take the road less traveled by, the road few other people have taken, has made all the difference.This thesis intends to explore Frost’s own view of life. He told us that human beings are so weak when compared with nature and the destiny. Though human beings have made great progress in the past several centuries, there will forever exist something that is far beyond their control. For human, it is unable to do anything useful when he is in conflict with the impersonal force. And it’s also unable to control his own destiny; on the contrary, his fate and destiny are in the charge of something mysterious beyond him. In this sense, life is a tragedy to human. So it could be said that Frost conveyed his sense of tragedy common to human through this simple but beautiful poem. It is simple in form but profound in meaning.评论5:SummaryThe speaker stands in the woods, considering a fork in the road. Both ways are equally worn and equally overlaid withun-trodden leaves. The speaker chooses one, telling himself that he will take the other another day. Yet he knows it is unlikely that he will have the opportunity to do so. And he admits that someday in the future he will recreate the scene with a slight twist: He will claim that he took the less-traveled road.From“The Road Not Taken” consists of four stanzas of five lines. Th e rhyme scheme is ABAAB; the rhymes are strict and masculine, with the notable exception of the last line (we do not usually stress the -ence of difference). There are four stressed syllables per line, varying on an iambic tetrameter base.CommentaryThis has got to be among the best-known, most-often-misunderstood poems on the planet. Several generations of careless readers have turned it into a piece of Hallmark happy-graduation-son, seize-the-future puffery. Cursed with a perfect marriage of form and co ntent, arresting phrase wrought from simple words, and resonant metaphor, it seems as if “The Road Not Taken” gets memorized without really being read. For this it has died the cliché’s un-death of trivial immortality.But you yourself can resurrect it from zombie-hood by reading it—not with imagination, even, but simply with accuracy. Of the two roads the speaker says “the passing there / Had worn them really about the same.” In fact, both roads “that morning lay / In leaves no step had trodden black.” Me aning: Neither of the roads is less traveled by. These are the facts; we cannot justifiably ignore the reverberations they send through the easy aphorisms of the last two stanzas.One of the attractions of the poem is its archetypal dilemma, one that we instantly recognize because each of us encounters itinnumerable times, both literally and figuratively. Paths in the woods and forks in roads are ancient and deep-seated metaphors for the lifeline, its crises and decisions. Identical forks, in particular, symbolize for us the nexus of free will and fate: We are free to choose, but we do not really know beforehand what we are choosing between. Our route is, thus, determined by an accretion of choice and chance, and it is impossible to separate the two.This poem does not advise. It does not say, “When you come to a fork in the road, study the footprints and take the road less traveled by” (or even, as Yogi Berra enigmatically quipped, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it”). Frost’s focus is more complicated. First, there is no less-traveled road in this poem; it isn’t even an option. Next, the poem seems more concerned with the question of how the concrete present (yellow woods, grassy roads covered in fallen leaves) will look from a future vantage point.The ironic tone is inescapable: “I shall be telling this with a sigh / Somewhere ages and ages hence.” The speaker anticipate s his own future insincerity—his need, later on in life, to rearrange the facts and inject a dose of Lone Ranger into the account. He knows that he will be inaccurate, at best, or hypocritical, at worst, when he holds his life up as an example. In fact, he predicts that his future self will betray this moment of decision as if the betrayal were inevitable. This realization is ironic and poignantly pathetic. But the “sigh” is critical. The speaker will not, in his old age, merely gather the youth about him and say, “Do what I did, kiddies. I stuck to my guns, took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Rather, he may say this, but he will sigh first; for he won’t believe it himself. Somewhere in the back of his mind will remain the imag e of yellow woods and two equally leafy paths.Ironic as it is, this is also a poem infused with the anticipation o f remorse. Its title is not “The Road Less Traveled” but “The Road Not Taken.” Even as he makes a choice (a choice he is forced to make if does not want to stand forever in the woods, one for which he has no real guide or definitive basis for decision-making), the speaker knows that he will second-guess himself somewhere down the line—or at the very least he will wonder at what is irrevocably lost: the impossible, unknowable Other Path. But the nature of the decision is such that there is no Right Path—just the chosen path and the other path. What are sighed for ages and ages hence are not so much the wrong decisions as the moments of decision themselves—moments that, one atop the other, mark the passing of a life. This is the more primal strain of remorse.Thus, to add a further level of irony, the theme of the poem may, after all, be “seize the day.” But a more nuanced carpe die m, if you please.。

【诗词阅读及答案】弗罗斯特的《未选择的路》赏析

【诗词阅读及答案】弗罗斯特的《未选择的路》赏析美国诗人弗罗斯特《未选择的路》的一诗写了“面对两条都没有走过的路,主人公毅然选择了一条人迹更少的路来走、来历练”的事情,体现了人性之美,其实我们倘将该作品作为“选择人生之路”来读也完全恰当。

品读该诗,主人公形象的大气沉雄、勇敢创新、义无反顾,还是比较容易看得出来。

在到了岔路口,因为“我不能同时去涉足”,所以必得选一条路去走。

由于“鱼”和“熊掌”两者不能得兼,故颇费踌躇,“我”“久久伫立”对两条路都再三观望,最终才咬咬牙下定决心选实了走“人迹更少的”那条“荒草凄凄,十分幽寂”的路,这样的义无反顾需要何等的勇气和魄力?如果说选择“那条通向丛林深处的路”是大众化的选择,比较平稳,但很有可能就平常了;那么主人公不愿庸俗而冒险地去创新一番,玩一把过瘾,认为即使轰轰烈烈地去死也比窝窝囊囊地存活强上百倍千倍。

诗人的这种思想无疑是难得的,很精彩的。

这样看来,说诗人的这种勇敢和大气魄不是一般的果敢,而是大气沉雄的干练,再恰当不过。

还有,诗人的思想之美也体现在对未来的展望上,还体现在对未来忆及“现今”这个从前的回忆上,它们的思想美点也确实颇为多多。

已经选定并走上选定的路时,诗人还念念不忘“留下一条路等改日再见”,可人生是趟单程旅行,决无回头再走的可能。

故一旦选定人生的道路,便是无尽头的求索。

才开始走就揣测日后之事是展望,是人生的“大气度设计”,是开放。

这样的展望有利于更稳健地干好人生大事业。

因为不能同时选走人生道路,所以只选一条去走或许就很圆满地获取了成功,或许就大致成功却稍留缺憾,或许就根本是个事业大失败的结局,人生况味无外乎上述三种可能。

有缺憾固然该“叹息”并后悔当初选择的太过于“草率”了些;我们说,就是成功者也可以“叹息”,认为假如选择走另外的一条道路成功准许会更大。

这样憧憬未来的回顾因其打通了“少年、中年、老年”再“老年、中年、少年”的关节,属全程式鸟瞰,是高瞻远瞩,显得深刻。

And sorry I could not travel both可惜我不能同时去涉足
And be one traveler, long I stood我在那路口久久伫立
And looked down one as far as I could我向着一条路极目望去
To where it bent in the undergrowth;直到它消失在丛林深处
(2)弗罗斯特在诗歌风格上的一个最大特点是朴素无华,含义隽永,把深刻的思考和哲理寓于平淡无奇的内容和简洁朴实的诗句之中。本诗堪称是这方面的典范。这首诗的语言质朴自然,但在构思上却非常巧妙。我们不难看出,诗歌中所描写的岔路就是人生岔路的象征。它说明,在人生的旅途中,我们时常必须要在两条道路、两种思想或两种行动中做出选择,不同的选择将决定不同的人生方向。面对选择时,我们往往会变得犹豫不决,反复权衡,拿不定主意。最后,我们终究会选择其中的一条路。这首诗,描绘的是一个面临选择的人和他进行选择时的心态,至于选择的具体内容并没有写出,诗人的着眼点是选择本身。每一个读者都能够在这首诗中发现自己的生活体验,体味其中的哲理。因为这首诗具有丰富的内涵,给读者留下了想像的空间,从而受到触动,引发深深的思索。这种每个人都有过的复杂的心理体验,被弗罗斯特敏感地捕捉到了,并谱写成一首脍炙人口的佳作.
罗伯特弗罗斯特堪称美国20世纪90年代最受欢迎的诗人之一,是美国非官方的桂冠诗人,他一生致力于诗歌的创作,主要写作并出版了10部诗集,这一首是其第三部诗集《山的间隔》中的名篇。

未选择的路诗歌鉴赏

《未选择的路》诗歌鉴赏原诗《未选择的路》罗伯特·弗罗斯特(美国)黄色的林子里有两条路,很遗憾我无法同时选择两者,身在旅途的我久久站立,对着其中一条极目眺望,直到它蜿蜒拐进远处的树丛。

我选择了另外的一条,天经地义,也许更为诱人因为它充满荆棘,需要开拓;然而这样的路过并未引起太大的改变。

那天清晨这两条小路一起静卧在无人踩过的树叶丛中。

哦,我把另一条路留给了明天!明知路连着路,我不知是否该回头。

我将轻轻叹息,叙述这一切。

许多许多年以后:林子里有两条路,我——选择了行人稀少的那一条。

它改变了我的一生。

赏析这首诗意境很美,读起来意味深长。

我们每个人每天都会有很多路可以选择,小到吃饭这件事,你有很多选择,可以吃麻辣烫、焖面、米饭炒菜……但我们只能选择一种,吃了这个就不能吃那个。

如果说这是小事,那么我们选择专业、选择配偶、选择工作就是人生大事了。

你学了会计就不能学园艺;你当了老师,就不能当医生;你嫁了某人就不能嫁给另一个人……在生活中,我们处处会遇到这种人生选择,我们也总会站在各种路口,然而,我们却只能走其中的一条,这在学界有个专有名词,叫“沉没成本”。

如果说午饭吃什么不太会决定人生,那么我们的专业、工作和配偶,很大程度上会决定我们的人生走向。

昨天看到谢霆锋和王菲机场牵手的视频,我不由得感慨,人生起起落落、兜兜转转,两个人又在一起了。

他们曾经都选择过别人,那些和别人走过的路,那些过去的旧时光,都证明了这条路不适合自己。

这一回世纪牵手,他们决定重新选择一条路,一条未选择的路,它充满荆棘,需要开拓;它人迹罕至,但它却改变了他们的一生。

我们每个人都会选择自己的路,我们曾久久伫立,我们曾极目远眺,希望多少年过后,再回头望去,那条路依然芳草萋萋、幽寂美丽。

The Road Not Taken 《未选择的路》罗伯特•弗罗斯特(Robert Frost)生于1874年,卒于1963年,可能要算是20世纪美国最受欢迎和爱戴的一位诗人了。

1912年,他弃农从文,从此成为了一名专业诗人。

他曾在1961年时受邀在约翰•F•肯尼迪总统的就职典礼上朗诵他的诗歌——《The Gift Outright》。

而本次我为大家推荐的《The Road Not Taken》则是他最著名的一首诗歌。

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood 黄色的树林里分出两条路And sorry I could not travel both 可惜我不能同时去涉足And be one traveler, long I stood 我在那路口久久伫立And looked down one as far as I could 我向着一条路极目望去To where it bent in the undergrown 直到它消失在丛林深处Then took the other, as just as fair 但我却选了另外一条路And having perhaps the better claim 它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 显得更诱人、更美丽Though as for that the passing there 虽然在这两条小路上Had worn them really about the same 都很少留下旅人的足迹And both that morning equally lay 虽然那天清晨落叶满地In leaves no step had trodden black 两条路都未经脚印污染Oh, I kept the first for another day! 呵,留下一条路等改日再见!Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 但我知道路径延绵无尽头I doubted if I should even come back.恐怕我难以再回返I shall be telling this with a sigh 也许多少年后在某个地方Somewhere ages and ages hence: 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--- 一片树林里分出两条路I took the one less traveled by, 而我选了人迹更少的一条And that has made all the difference 从此决定了我一生的道路评论1:"The Road Not Taken" is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916 in the collection Mountain Interval, it is the first poem in the volume and is printed in italics. The title is often mistakenly given as "The Road Less Traveled", from the penultimate line: "I took the one less traveled by".The poem has two recognized interpretations; one is a more literal interpretation, while the other is more ironic.Readers often see the poem literally, as an expression of individualism. Critics typically view the poem as ironic.[1] – "'The Road Not Taken,' perhaps the most famous example of Frost's own claims to conscious irony and 'the best example in all of American poetry of a wolf in sheep's clothing.'"[2] – and Frost himself warned "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem – very tricky."[3] Frost intended the poem as a gentle jab at his great friend and fellow poet Edward Thomas with whom he used to take walks through the forest (Thomas always complained at the end that they should have taken a different path) and seemed amused at this certain interpretation of the poem as inspirational.Literal interpretationAccording to the literal (and more common) interpretation, the poem is inspirational, a paean to individualism and non-conformism.The poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking in the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could do that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take.Ironic interpretationThe ironic interpretation, widely held by critics,[1][5] is that the poem is instead about regret and personal myth-making,rationalizing our decisions.In this interpretation, the final two lines:I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.are ironic : the choice made little or no difference at all, the speaker's protestations to the contrary. The speaker admits in the second and third stanzas that both paths may be equally worn and equally leaf-covered, and it is only in his future recollection that he will call one road "less traveled by".The sigh, widely interpreted as a sigh of regret, might also be interpreted ironically: in a 1925 letter to Cristine Yates of Dickson, Tennessee, asking about the sigh, Frost replied: "It was my rather private jest at the expense of those who might think I would yet live to be sorry for the way I had taken in life."Everyone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey, life. There is never a straight path that leaves one with but a sole direction in which to head. Regardless of the original message that Robert Frost had intended to convey, his poem, "The Road Not Taken", has left its readers with many different interpretations. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light that he will see the poem in. In any case however, this poem clearly demonstrates Frost's belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is. "And sorry I could not travel both..." It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. "Then took the other, just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim." What made it have the better claim is that "it was grassland wanted wear." It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path therefore he calls it "the road less traveled by". The fact that the traveler took this path over the more popular, secure one indicates the type of personality he has, one that does not want to necessarily follow the crowd but do more of what has never been done, what is new and different. "And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black." The leaves had covered the ground and since the time they had fallen no one had yet to pass by on this road. Perhaps Frost does this because each time a person comes to the point where they have to make a choice, it is new to them, somewhere they have never been and they tend to feel as though no one else had ever been there either. "I kept the first for another day!" The desire to travel down both paths is expressed and is not unusual, but "knowing how way leads on to way", the speaker of this poem realizes that the decision is not just a temporary one and he "doubted if I should ever come back." This is his common sense speaking and acknowledging that what he chooses now will affect every other choice he makes afterward. Once you have performed an act or spoken a word that crystallizes who you are, there is no turning back and it cannot be undone. Once again at the end of the poem the regret hangs over the traveler like a heavy cloud about to burst. He realizes that at the end of his life, "somewhere ages and ages hence", he will have regrets about having never gone back and traveling down the roads he did not take. Yet he remains proud of his decision and he recognizes that it was this path that he chose that made him turn out the way and he did and live his life the way in which he lived. "I took the road less traveled by and that had made all the difference." To this man, what was most important, what really made the difference, is that he did what he wanted, even if it meant taking the road less traveled. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be the same man he is now. There are many equally valid meanings to this poem and Robert Frost may have intended this. He may have been trying to achieve a universal understanding. In other words, there is no judgment, no specificity, no moral. There is simply a narrator who makes a decision in his life that had changed the direction of his life from what it may have otherwise been. It allows all readers from all different experiences to relate to the poem.评论2:Robert Frost is one of the finest of rural New England’s 20th century pastoral poets. His poems are great combination ofwisdom, harmony and serenity. They are simple at first sight, but demand readers for deep reading to grasp further meaning beyond surface.The famous poem of Frost The Road Not Taken is my favorite. This poem consists of four stanzas of five lines. The rhyme scheme is ABAAB. the rhymes are strict and masculine, with notable exception of the last line. There are four stressed syllables each line, varying on iambic tetrameter base.The Road Not Taken tells about life choice. Man’s life is metaphorically related to a journey filled with twists and turns. O ne has to consider a lot before making a wise choice. Though the diverged roads seem identical, they actually lead to different directions, which symbolize different fates.A less than rigorous look at the poem may lead one to believe that Frost’s moral is embodied in those lines. The poem is take n as a call to independence, preaching originality and Emersonian self-reliance. The poem deconstructs its conclusion stanza by stanza.At the beginning of this poem, the poet shows the inability of human beings to foresee the future, especially the results of choices. At the split in the road, the speaker looks far down both the two paths to see what each of the paths will bring. However, his sight is limited; his eyes can only see the path until it bends into “the undergrowth”. Man is free to choose, b ut doesn’t know beforehand the results of hi s choice.Both roads diverge into a “yellow wood” and appear to be “about the same” in their purposes. The first path is a more common route. The other is less traveled, which “was grass and wanted wear”. The poet presents a conflict here—the decision between the common easy path and exceptional challenging path. The two different paths signify two different kinds of lives. Choosing the common easy path, people will feel at ease and live in safety, because the outcome is predictable. However, that kind of l ife may be less exciting and lack of novelty. While choosing the “less traveled” road represents the gamble of facing a more difficult path in lives. This forms contrast with familiar lives of most people. People hope to achiever a satisfactory and interesting life on this road. The wish is good, but reality is full of challenges and uncertainties. Nobody can be sure of the outcome. After vacillating between the two roads, the poet finally decides to take the road “less traveled by” and leads a different life from common people. This may indicate his choice to be a poet, other than other jobs. The poet makes up his mind to dedicate himself to poem writing, which is regarded as a less common career.Once the decision is made, there will be no way to return to the original choice to experience the other route. So the poet utters “Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.” The made choice is irrevocable, so man must be careful and rational before making decisions. At the same time, he must be courageous enough to shoulder the result of his choice, whether it is good or not.Frost presents man’s limitation to explore life’s different possibilities. The poet “sighs” at the end of the poem. For at th e time of one’s choice, he must give up other choices and miss some other things. At the same time, he “sighs” with lamentation, pondering what he may have missed on the other path and that he doesn’t have opportunities to experience another kind of life.The Road Not Taken is interpreted universally as a representation of two similar choices. At the beginning, man may face two identical forks, which symbolize the nexus of free choice and fate. They contrast increasingly with each other as they diverge in their separate directions. Man is fr ee to choose, but it’s beyond his ability to foretell the consequences. Man can choose a common route which guarantees a safe and reliable life. He can also choose a less common one which is unknown, unique and stands out above other else’s. All in all, ma n must be responsible for his choice and has courage to shoulder the result. He can never go back to the past and experience other possibilities. It is impossible to predict the outcome of decisions, so it is essential for him to make wise decisions after considering, selecting and questioning which selection will provide him with fulfillment.The Road Not Taken is full of philosophical overtones. This poem should be read as a warning. Man should consider a lot before making choices and reflect over the cho ices he has made to discover “all the differences”.评论3:Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” has been one of the most analyzed, quoted, anthologized poems in American poetry. A wide-spread interpretation claims that the speaker in the poem is promoting individualism and non-conformity.A Tricky PoemFrost claims that he wrote this poem about his friend Edward Thomas, with whom he had walked many times in the woods near London. Frost has said that while walking they would come to different paths and after choosing one, Thomas would always fret wondering what they might have missed by not taking the other path.About the poem, Frost asserted, "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem - very tricky." And he is, of course, correct. The poem has been and continues to be used as an inspirational poem, one that to the undiscerning eye seems to be encouraging self-reliance, not following where others have led.But a close reading of the poem proves otherwise. It does not moralize about choice; it simply says that choice is inevitable, but you never know what your choice will mean until you have lived it.First Stanza – Describes SituationThe poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could to that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take.Second Stanza – Decides to Take Less-Traveled RoadThe speaker had looked down the first one “to where it bent in the undergrowth,” and in the second stanza, he reports that he decided to take the other path, because it seemed to have less traffic than the first. But then he goes on to say that they actually were very similarly worn. The second one that he took seems less traveled, but as he thinks about it, he realizes that they were “really about the same.” Not exactly that same but only “about the same.”Third Stanza – Continues Description of RoadsThe third stanza continues with the cogitation about the possible differences between the two roads. He had noticed that the leaves were both fresh fallen on them both and had not been walked on, but then again claims that maybe he would come back and also walk the first one sometime, but he doubted he would be able to, because in life one thing leads to another and time is short.Also on Suite101Frost's Snow and WoodsRobert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" seems simple, but its nuanced phrase, "And miles to go before I sleep," offers much about which to speculate.Fourth Stanza – Two Tricky WordsThe fourth stanza holds the key to the trickiness of the poem:I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere 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.Those who interpret this poem as suggesting non-conformity take the word “difference” to be a positive difference. But there is nothing in the poem that suggests that this difference signals a positive outcome. The speaker could not offer such information, because he has not lived the “difference” yet.The other word that leads readers astray is the word “sigh.” By taking “difference” to mean a positive diffe rence, they think that the sigh is one of nostalgic relief; however, a sigh can also mean regret. There is the “oh, dear” kind of sigh, but als o the “what a relief” kind of sigh. Which one is it?If it is the relief sigh, then the difference means the speaker is glad he took the road he did; if it is the regret sigh, then the difference would not be good, and the speaker would be sighing in regret. But the plain fact is that the poem does not identify the nature of that sigh. The speaker of the poem does not even know the nature of that sigh, because that sigh and his evaluation of the difference his choice will make are still in the future. It is a truism that any choice an indiviual make is going to make “all the difference” in how our future turns out.Ca reful Readers Won’t Be TrickedSo Frost was absolutely correct; his poem is tricky—very tricky. In this poem, it is important to be careful with the time frame. When the speaker says he will be reporting sometime in the future how his road choice turned out, he clearly states that he cannot assign meaning to “sigh” and “difference” yet, because he cannot know how his choice will affect his future, until aft erhe has lived it.评论4:1.IntroductionAs is well known to people, Robert Frost is one of the most famous national poets of America. Though contemporary with modernists like T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, Robert Frost is often regarded as a traditional poet of nature. He rejected the revolutionary poetic principles of his contemporary. On the contrary, he ch ose “the old- fashioned way to be new and urged poets to use the idioms of spoken English and, when possible, to rely on commonplace and even rustic imagery. And he saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol. However, unlike other poets of nature, he depicted nature as something in constant conflicts with human beings and bring a deep sense of uncertainty and even tragedy to them. Simple as they seem, his poems are often profound in meaning between the lines. Most of his poems are characterized with an unusual sense of tragedy and reflect weakness of human beings in the face of vast, impersonal force.Additionally, the poem reflects Frost’s own personal tragedy and his miserable, sorrowful inner feelings exactly. When it comes to this, his personal life experience has to be taken into consideration. Famous and popular as he became, but he suffer a lot during all his life. He lost his father as a young boy, and he was bereaved of his beloved wife in his middle age. What is worse, all of his children ended up dying young or suffering from mental disease. For him, life seemed to keep playing tricks on him and made his life miserable. As a result, many poems composed by him, not only this one, are featured with an exotic sense of tragic beauty.2. AnalysisIn this poem, the speaker, a traveler in the wood faced with the choice of two roads. The roads bear two connotations: the material roads and the roads of life. Now, let me give some specific analysis.2.1 See over one roadIn part o ne, the speaker faced with two roads in the autumnal wood and feel puzzled over which one to choose. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood”, He stood there for a long time and mused on one of them, which was taken by many people. Unfortunately, he was unable to find out which place the,road would take him to, for it is far beyond his ability to know where the road would lead. However, he must choose to take.2.2. The other oneIn part two, he stepped on the other road, “Then took the other, as just as fair”, It was grassy and not taken. His choice would affect every other subsequent choice, and there was no turning back. From his choice for the less trodden road, it could be concluded that he did not like to follow the steps of other people, he wanted his own life choired by himself.2.3 HelplessIn part three, he decided to choose the less traveled one, but he was aware that he could never have a chance to return to the first road. “I doubted if I should never come back” showed he is helpless.2.4 Chose the less traveled roadIn part four, “I shall be telling this with a sign”, he articulated why he chose the less traveled road, for he expected his life to be unusual and different. But there was no way to foretell the consequences of his choice.All in all, for the speaker, the road of life was accident and mystical, and his very choice was crucial in determining the consequences of his life. The ordinary people follow other’s choice, while the exceptional ones choose their unique roads of life.3. Conclusion3.1 Everyone is a travelerEveryone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey. There is never a straight path but a sole direction in which to head. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light.In any case however, this poem clearly explained Frost's belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is. It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what willbe missed out on. It is impossible to travel down every path. The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead.It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path. There is simply a narrator who makes a decision in his life that had changed the direction of his life from what it may have otherwise been. It allows all readers from all different experiences to relate to the poem.3.2 Human beings are so weakIn a word, the poem The Road Not Taken is a very beautiful and excellent poem. It is set in a rural natural environment where always inspire the speaker to think of life. It is based on a metaphor in which the journey through life is compared to a journey on a road. And the speaker of the poem has to choose one path instead of another. Even though the two paths look equally attractive, the speaker knows that his choice at this moment may have a significant influence on his future. He does make a decision, hoping that he may be able to visit this place again, yet realizing that such an opportunity is impossible. He imagines himself in the future telling the story of his life, and claiming that his decision to take the road less traveled by, the road few other people have taken, has made all the difference.This thesis intends to explore Frost’s own view of life. He told us that human beings are so weak when compared with nature and the destiny. Though human beings have made great progress in the past several centuries, there will forever exist something that is far beyond their control. For human, it is unable to do anything useful when he is in conflict with the impersonal force. And it’s also unable to control his own destiny; on the contrary, his fate and destiny are in the charge of something mysterious beyond him. In this sense, life is a tragedy to human. So it could be said that Frost conveyed his sense of tragedy common to human through this simple but beautiful poem. It is simple in form but profound in meaning.评论5:SummaryThe speaker stands in the woods, considering a fork in the road. Both ways are equally worn and equally overlaid withun-trodden leaves. The speaker chooses one, telling himself that he will take the other another day. Yet he knows it is unlikely that he will have the opportunity to do so. And he admits that someday in the future he will recreate the scene with a slight twist: He will claim that he took the less-traveled road.From“The Road Not Taken” consists of four stanzas of five lines. Th e rhyme scheme is ABAAB; the rhymes are strict and masculine, with the notable exception of the last line (we do not usually stress the -ence of difference). There are four stressed syllables per line, varying on an iambic tetrameter base.CommentaryThis has got to be among the best-known, most-often-misunderstood poems on the planet. Several generations of careless readers have turned it into a piece of Hallmark happy-graduation-son, seize-the-future puffery. Cursed with a perfect marriage of form and co ntent, arresting phrase wrought from simple words, and resonant metaphor, it seems as if “The Road Not Taken” gets memorized without really being read. For this it has died the cliché’s un-death of trivial immortality.But you yourself can resurrect it from zombie-hood by reading it—not with imagination, even, but simply with accuracy. Of the two roads the speaker says “the passing there / Had worn them really about the same.” In fact, both roads “that morning lay / In leaves no step had trodden black.” Me aning: Neither of the roads is less traveled by. These are the facts; we cannot justifiably ignore the reverberations they send through the easy aphorisms of the last two stanzas.One of the attractions of the poem is its archetypal dilemma, one that we instantly recognize because each of us encounters itinnumerable times, both literally and figuratively. Paths in the woods and forks in roads are ancient and deep-seated metaphors for the lifeline, its crises and decisions. Identical forks, in particular, symbolize for us the nexus of free will and fate: We are free to choose, but we do not really know beforehand what we are choosing between. Our route is, thus, determined by an accretion of choice and chance, and it is impossible to separate the two.This poem does not advise. It does not say, “When you come to a fork in the road, study the footprints and take the road less traveled by” (or even, as Yogi Berra enigmatically quipped, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it”). Frost’s focus is more complicated. First, there is no less-traveled road in this poem; it isn’t even an option. Next, the poem seems more concerned with the question of how the concrete present (yellow woods, grassy roads covered in fallen leaves) will look from a future vantage point.The ironic tone is inescapable: “I shall be telling this with a sigh / Somewhere ages and ages hence.” The speaker anticipate s his own future insincerity—his need, later on in life, to rearrange the facts and inject a dose of Lone Ranger into the account. He knows that he will be inaccurate, at best, or hypocritical, at worst, when he holds his life up as an example. In fact, he predicts that his future self will betray this moment of decision as if the betrayal were inevitable. This realization is ironic and poignantly pathetic. But the “sigh” is critical. The speaker will not, in his old age, merely gather the youth about him and say, “Do what I did, kiddies. I stuck to my guns, took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Rather, he may say this, but he will sigh first; for he won’t believe it himself. Somewhere in the back of his mind will remain the imag e of yellow woods and two equally leafy paths.Ironic as it is, this is also a poem infused with the anticipation o f remorse. Its title is not “The Road Less Traveled” but “The Road Not Taken.” Even as he makes a choice (a choice he is forced to make if does not want to stand forever in the woods, one for which he has no real guide or definitive basis for decision-making), the speaker knows that he will second-guess himself somewhere down the line—or at the very least he will wonder at what is irrevocably lost: the impossible, unknowable Other Path. But the nature of the decision is such that there is no Right Path—just the chosen path and the other path. What are sighed for ages and ages hence are not so much the wrong decisions as the moments of decision themselves—moments that, one atop the other, mark the passing of a life. This is the more primal strain of remorse.Thus, to add a further level of irony, the theme of the poem may, after all, be “seize the day.” But a more nuanced carpe die m, if you please.。

The road not taken1诗歌简介:这首名诗《The Road Not Taken》形式是传统的抑扬格四音步,但音步可变(含有不少抑抑扬的成分);每节的韵式为abaab 。

弗罗斯特写诗最大的特色就是善于运用眼前看似平淡无奇的事物,去表达一个深刻的哲理.这正如他在一首诗中写的:“黄色的树林里有两条岔开的路/可惜我不能在同一时间走两条路/我选择了少人行走的那条/这就造成了一切的差异.”诗人选择了诗歌,放下了在一所师范学校教书的职业以及那可能平坦,安稳的生活。

他对自己说:写诗吧,穷就穷吧,于是他们就来了英国,在离伦敦不远的一个村子里找到了一座木板茅屋作为新家。

罗伯特弗罗斯特堪称美国20世纪90年代最受欢迎的诗人之一,是美国非官方的桂冠诗人,他一生致力于诗歌的创作,主要写作并出版了10部诗集,这一首是其第三部诗集《山的间隔》中的名篇。

《未选择的路》赏析
《未选择的路》是一首哲理抒情诗,它表面平和,实则蕴含深厚的哲理;看似倾诉个人经历,实则表达人们的共同感受。

在这首诗里,弗罗斯特抓住林中岔道这一详尽形象,用比喻的手法引起人们丰盛生动的联想,烘托出人生岔路这样具有哲理寓意的象征。

诗人选择的是人们司空见惯的林中岔道,来阐发如何抉择人生道路这一生活哲理的。

诗的前三节似乎仅在笔直地描写林中的那两条路的例外,但其中却蕴含着极大的比喻意义,第四节诗人笔锋一转,从林中之路跃到描写人生之路,“而我选择了人迹更少的一条,/从此决定了我一生的道路。

”这结句寄寓着诗人无限的人生感慨,具有深刻的象征性和哲理性。

诗人以含蓄清爽、别具一格的艺术风格再现出柔美的自然风光,并且通过对自然景物的描写,反映人们内心深处的情感波澜,诗还注意引起人们的联想,把理性与不情感融于一首短诗之中,深化了这首诗的意蕴,给人以丰盛的启迪。

诗人是通过柔美的意境创造和浓重的抒情表达把哲理隐含其中并传递给读者的。

在这首诗中,诗人以朴素自然的语言和韵律来表现自己对人生的思索。

这种质朴无华的风格使这首诗如夏夜里清冷温柔的风,洋溢着清爽自然的情趣,给人一种沁人心脾之感。

这首诗描绘的是一个面临选择的人和他进行选择时的心态,至于选择的详尽内容并没有写出,诗人的着眼点是选择本身。

每一个读者都能够在这首诗中发现自身的生活体验,理解其中的哲理内容。

The Road Not Taken 《未选择的路》罗伯特•弗罗斯特(Robert Frost)生于1874年,卒于1963年,可能要算是20世纪美国最受欢迎和爱戴的一位诗人了。

1912年,他弃农从文,从此成为了一名专业诗人。

他曾在1961年时受邀在约翰•F•肯尼迪总统的就职典礼上朗诵他的诗歌——《The Gift Outright》。

而本次我为大家推荐的《The Road Not Taken》则是他最著名的一首诗歌。

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood 黄色的树林里分出两条路And sorry I could not travel both 可惜我不能同时去涉足And be one traveler, long I stood 我在那路口久久伫立And looked down one as far as I could 我向着一条路极目望去To where it bent in the undergrown 直到它消失在丛林深处Then took the other, as just as fair 但我却选了另外一条路And having perhaps the better claim 它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 显得更诱人、更美丽Though as for that the passing there 虽然在这两条小路上Had worn them really about the same 都很少留下旅人的足迹And both that morning equally lay 虽然那天清晨落叶满地In leaves no step had trodden black 两条路都未经脚印污染Oh, I kept the first for another day! 呵,留下一条路等改日再见!Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 但我知道路径延绵无尽头I doubted if I should even come back.恐怕我难以再回返I shall be telling this with a sigh 也许多少年后在某个地方Somewhere ages and ages hence: 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--- 一片树林里分出两条路I took the one less traveled by, 而我选了人迹更少的一条And that has made all the difference 从此决定了我一生的道路评论1:"The Road Not Taken" is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916 in the collection Mountain Interval, it is the first poem in the volume and is printed in italics. The title is often mistakenly given as "The Road Less Traveled", from the penultimate line:"I took the one less traveled by".The poem has two recognized interpretations; one is a more literal interpretation, while the other is more ironic.Readers often see the poem literally, as an expression of individualism. Critics typically view the poem as ironic.[1] – "'The Road Not Taken,' perhaps the most famous example of Frost's own claims to conscious irony and 'the best example in all of American poetry of a wolf in sheep's clothing.'"[2] – and Frost himself warned "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem – very tricky."[3] Frost intended the poem as a gentle jab at his great friend and fellow poet Edward Thomas with whom he used to take walks through the forest (Thomas always complained at the end that they should have taken a different path) and seemed amused at this certain interpretation of the poem as inspirational.Literal interpretationAccording to the literal (and more common) interpretation, the poem is inspirational, a paean to individualism and non-conformism.The poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking in the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could do that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take.Ironic interpretationThe ironic interpretation, widely held by critics,[1][5] is that the poem is instead about regret and personal myth-making, rationalizing our decisions.In this interpretation, the final two lines:I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.are ironic : the choice made little or no difference at all, the speaker's protestations to the contrary. The speaker admits in the second and third stanzas that both paths may be equally worn and equally leaf-covered, and it is only in his future recollection that he will call one road "less traveled by".The sigh, widely interpreted as a sigh of regret, might also be interpreted ironically: in a 1925 letter to Cristine Yates of Dickson, Tennessee, asking about the sigh, Frost replied: "It was my rather private jest at the expense of those who might think I would yet live to be sorry for the way I had taken in life."Everyone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey, life. There is never a straightpath that leaves one with but a sole direction in which to head. Regardless of the original message that Robert Frost had intended to convey, his poem, "The Road Not Taken", has left its readers with many different interpretations. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light that he will see the poem in. In any case however, this poem clearly demonstrates Frost's belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is. "And sorry I could not travel both..." It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. "Then took the other, just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim." What made it have the better claim is that "it was grassland wanted wear." It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path therefore he calls it "the road less traveled by". The fact that the traveler took this path over the more popular, secure one indicates the type of personality he has, one that does not want to necessarily follow the crowd but do more of what has never been done, what is new and different. "And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black." The leaves had covered the ground and since the time they had fallen no one had yet to pass by on this road. Perhaps Frost does this because each time a person comes to the point where they have to make a choice, it is new to them, somewhere they have never been and they tend to feel as though no one else had ever been there either. "I kept the first for another day!" The desire to travel down both paths is expressed and is not unusual, but "knowing how way leads on to way", the speaker of this poem realizes that the decision is not just a temporary one and he "doubted if I should ever come back." This is his common sense speaking and acknowledging that what he chooses now will affect every other choice he makes afterward. Once you have performed an act or spoken a word that crystallizes who you are, there is no turning back and it cannot be undone. Once again at the end of the poem the regret hangs over the traveler like a heavy cloud about to burst. He realizes that at the end of his life, "somewhere ages and ages hence", he will have regrets about having never gone back and traveling down the roads he did not take. Yet he remains proud of his decision and he recognizes that it was this path that he chose that made him turn out the way and he did and live his life the way in which he lived. "I took the road less traveled by and that had made all the difference." To this man, what was most important, what really made the difference, is that he did what he wanted, even if it meant taking the road less traveled. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be the same man he is now. There are many equally valid meanings to this poem and Robert Frost may have intended this.He may have been trying to achieve a universal understanding. In other words, there is no judgment, no specificity, no moral. There is simply a narrator who makes a decision in his life that had changed the direction of his life from what it may have otherwise been. It allows all readers from all different experiences to relate to the poem.评论2:Robert Frost is one of the finest of rural New England’s 20th century pastoral poets. His poems are great combination of wisdom, harmony and serenity. They are simple at first sight, but demand readers for deep reading to grasp further meaning beyond surface.The famous poem of Frost The Road Not Taken is my favorite. This poem consists of four stanzas of five lines. The rhyme scheme is ABAAB. the rhymes are strict and masculine, with notable exception of the last line. There are four stressed syllables each line, varying on iambic tetrameter base.The Road Not Taken tells about life choic e. Man’s life is metaphorically related to a journey filled with twists and turns. One has to consider a lot before making a wise choice. Though the diverged roads seem identical, they actually lead to different directions, which symbolize different fates.A less than rigorous look at the poem may lead one to believe that Frost’s moral is embodied in those lines. The poem is taken as a call to independence, preaching originality and Emersonian self-reliance. The poem deconstructs its conclusion stanza by stanza.At the beginning of this poem, the poet shows the inability of human beings to foresee the future, especially the results of choices. At the split in the road, the speaker looks far down both the two paths to see what each of the paths will bring. Ho wever, his sight is limited; his eyes can only see the path until it bends into “the undergrowth”. Man is free to choose, but doesn’t know beforehand the results of his choice.Both roads diverge into a “yellow wood” and appear to be “about the same” in th eir purposes. The first path is a more common route. The other is less traveled, which “was grass and wanted wear”. The poet presents a conflict here—the decision between the common easy path and exceptional challenging path. The two different paths signify two different kinds of lives. Choosing the common easy path, people will feel at ease and live in safety, because the outcome is predictable. However, that kind of life may be less exciting and lack of novelty. While choosing the “less traveled” road rep resents the gamble of facing a more difficult path in lives. This forms contrast with familiar lives of most people. People hope to achiever a satisfactory and interesting life on this road. The wish is good, but reality is full of challenges and uncertainties. Nobody canbe sure of the outcome. After vacillating between the two roads, the poet finally decides to take the road “less traveled by”and leads a different life from common people. This may indicate his choice to be a poet, other than other jobs. The poet makes up his mind to dedicate himself to poem writing, which is regarded as a less common career.Once the decision is made, there will be no way to return to the original choice to experience the other route. So the poet utters “Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.” The made choice is irrevocable, so man must be careful and rational before making decisions. At the same time, he must be courageous enough to shoulder the result of his choice, whether it is good or not.Frost presents man’s limitation to explore life’s different possibilities. The poet “sighs” at the end of the poem. For at th e time of one’s choice, he must give up other choices and miss some other things. At the same time, he “sighs” with lamentat ion, pondering what he may have missed on the other path and that he doesn’t have opportunities to experience another kind of life.The Road Not Taken is interpreted universally as a representation of two similar choices. At the beginning, man may face two identical forks, which symbolize the nexus of free choice and fate. They contrast increasingly with each other as they diverge in their separate directions. Man is free to choose, but it’s beyond his ability to foretell the consequences. Man can choose a common route which guarantees a safe and reliable life. He can also choose a less common one which is unknown, unique and stands out above other else’s. All in all, man must be responsible for his choice and has courage to shoulder the result. He can never go back to the past and experience other possibilities. It is impossible to predict the outcome of decisions, so it is essential for him to make wise decisions after considering, selecting and questioning which selection will provide him with fulfillment.The Road Not Taken is full of philosophical overtones. This poem should be read as a warning. Man should consider a lot before making choices and reflect over the choices he has made to discover “all the differences”.评论3:Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” has been one of the most analyzed, quoted, anthologized poems in American poetry. A wide-spread interpretation claims that the speaker in the poem is promoting individualism and non-conformity.A Tricky PoemFrost claims that he wrote this poem about his friend Edward Thomas, with whom he had walked many times in the woods near London. Frost has said that while walking they would come to different paths and after choosing one, Thomas would always fret wondering what they might have missed by not taking the other path.About the poem, Frost asserted, "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem - very tricky." And he is, of course, correct. The poem has been and continues to be used as an inspirational poem, one that to the undiscerning eye seems to be encouraging self-reliance, not following where others have led.But a close reading of the poem proves otherwise. It does not moralize about choice; it simply says that choice is inevitable, but you never know what your choice will mean until you have lived it.First Stanza – Describes SituationThe poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could to that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take.Second Stanza – Decides to Take Less-Traveled RoadThe speaker had looked down the first one “to where it bent in the undergrowth,” and in the second stanza, he reports that he decided to take the other path, because it seemed to have less traffic than the first. But then he goes on to say that they actually were very similarly worn. The second one that he took seems less traveled, but as he thinks about it, he realizes that they were “really about the same.” Not exactly that same but only “about the same.”Third Stanza – Continues Description of RoadsThe third stanza continues with the cogitation about the possible differences between the two roads. He had noticed that the leaves were both fresh fallen on them both and had not been walked on, but then again claims that maybe he would come back and also walk the first one sometime, but he doubted he would be able to, because in life one thing leads to another and time is short.Also on Suite101Frost's Snow and WoodsRobert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" seems simple, but its nuanced phrase, "And miles to go before I sleep," offers much about which to Stanza – Two Tricky WordsThe fourth stanza holds the key to the trickiness of the poem:I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere 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.Those who interpret this poem as suggesting non-conformity take the word “difference” to be a positive difference. But there is nothing in the poem that suggests that this difference signals a positive outcome. The speaker could not offer such information, because he has not lived the “difference” yet.The other word that leads readers astray is the word “sigh.” By taking “difference” to mean a positive difference, they think that the sigh is one of nostalgic relief; however, a sigh can also mean regret. There is the “oh, dear” kind of sigh, but also the “what a relief” kind of sigh. Which one is itIf it is the relief sigh, then the difference means the speaker is glad he took the road he did; if it is the regret sigh, then the difference would not be good, and the speaker would be sighing in regret. But the plain fact is that the poem does not identify the nature of that sigh. The speaker of the poem does not even know the nature of that sigh, because that sigh and his evaluation of the difference his choice will make are still in the future. It is a truism that any choice an indiviual make is going to make “all the difference” in how our future turns out.Careful Readers Won’t Be TrickedSo Frost was absolutely correct; his poem is tricky—very tricky. In this poem, it is important to be careful with the time frame. When the speaker says he will be reporting sometime in the future how his road choice turned out, he clearly states that he cannot assign meaning t o “sigh” and “difference” yet, because he cannot know how his choice will affect his future, until after he has lived it.评论4:1.IntroductionAs is well known to people, Robert Frost is one of the most famous national poets of America. Though contemporary with modernists like . Eliot and Ezra Pound, Robert Frost is often regarded as a traditional poet of nature. He rejected the revolutionary poetic principles of his contemporary. On the contrary, he chose “the old- fashioned way to be new and urged poets to use the idioms of spoken English and, when possible, to rely on commonplace and even rustic imagery. And he saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol. However, unlike other poets of nature, he depicted nature as something in constant conflicts with human beings and bring a deep sense of uncertainty and even tragedy to them. Simple as they seem, his poems are often profound in meaning between the lines. Most of his poems are characterized with an unusual sense of tragedy and reflect weakness of human beings in the face of vast, impersonal force.Additionally, the poem reflects Frost’s own personal tragedy and his miserable, sorrowful inner feelings exactly. When itcomes to this, his personal life experience has to be taken into consideration. Famous and popular as he became, but he suffer a lot during all his life. He lost his father as a young boy, and he was bereaved of his beloved wife in his middle age. What is worse, all of his children ended up dying young or suffering from mental disease. For him, life seemed to keep playing tricks on him and made his life miserable. As a result, many poems composed by him, not only this one, are featured with an exotic sense of tragic beauty.2. AnalysisIn this poem, the speaker, a traveler in the wood faced with the choice of two roads. The roads bear two connotations: the material roads and the roads of life. Now, let me give some specific analysis.See over one roadIn part one, the speaker faced with two roads in the autumnal wood and feel puzzled over which one to choose. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood”, He stood there for a long time and mused on one of them, which was taken by many people. Unfortunately, he was unable to find out which place the,road would take him to, for it is far beyond his ability to know where the road would lead. However, he must choose to take.. The other oneIn part two, he stepped on the other road, “Then took the other, as just as fair”, It was grassy and not taken. His choi ce would affect every other subsequent choice, and there was no turning back. From his choice for the less trodden road, it could be concluded that he did not like to follow the steps of other people, he wanted his own life choired by himself.HelplessIn part three, he decided to choose the less traveled one, but he was aware that he could never have a chance to return to the first road. “I doubted if I should never come back” showed he is helpless.Chose the less traveled roadIn part four, “I shall be telling this with a sign”, he articulated why he chose the less traveled road, for he expected his life to be unusual and different. But there was no way to foretell the consequences of his choice.All in all, for the speaker, the road of life was accident and mystical, and his very choice was crucial in determining the consequences of his life. The ordinary people follow other’s choice, while the exceptional ones choose their unique roads of life.3. ConclusionEveryone is a travelerEveryone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey. There is never a straight path but a sole direction in which to head. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light.In any case however, this poem clearly explained Frost's belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is. It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. It is impossible to travel down every path. The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead.It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path. There is simply a narrator who makes a decision in his life that had changed the direction of his life from what it may have otherwise been. It allows all readers from all different experiences to relate to the poem.Human beings are so weakIn a word, the poem The Road Not Taken is a very beautiful and excellent poem. It is set in a rural natural environment where always inspire the speaker to think of life. It is based on a metaphor in which the journey through life is compared to a journey on a road. And the speaker of the poem has to choose one path instead of another. Even though the two paths look equally attractive, the speaker knows that his choice at this moment may have a significant influence on his future. He does make a decision, hoping that he may be able to visit this place again, yet realizing that such an opportunity is impossible. He imagines himself in the future telling the story of his life, and claiming that his decision to take the road less traveled by, the road few other people have taken, has made all the difference.This thesis intends to explore Frost’s own view of life. He told us that human beings are so weak when compare d with nature and the destiny. Though human beings have made great progress in the past several centuries, there will forever exist something that is far beyond their control. For human, it is unable to do anything useful when he is in conflict with the im personal force. And it’s also unable to control his own destiny; on the contrary, his fate and destiny are in the charge of something mysterious beyond him. In this sense, life is a tragedy to human. So it could be said that Frost conveyed his sense of tragedy common to human through this simple but beautiful poem. It is simple in form but profound in meaning.评论5:SummaryThe speaker stands in the woods, considering a fork in the road. Both ways are equally worn and equally overlaid with un-trodden leaves.The speaker chooses one, telling himself that he will take the other another day. Yet he knows it is unlikely that he will have theopportunity to do so. And he admits that someday in the future he will recreate the scene with a slight twist: He will claim that he took the less-traveled road.From“The Road Not Taken” consists of four stanzas of five lines. The rhyme scheme is ABAAB; the rhymes are strict and masculine, with the notable exception of the last line (we do not usually stress the -ence of difference). There are four stressed syllables per line, varying on an iambic tetrameter base.CommentaryThis has got to be among the best-known, most-often-misunderstood poems on the planet. Several generations of careless readers have turned it into a piece of Hallmark happy-graduation-son, seize-the-future puffery. Cursed with a perfect marriage of form and content, arresting phrase wrought from simple words, and resonant metaphor, it seems as if “The Road Not Taken” gets memorized without really being read. For this it has died the cliché’s un-death of trivial immortality.But you yourself can resurrect it from zombie-hood by reading it—not with imagination, even, but simply with accuracy. Of the two roads the speaker says “the passing there / Had worn them really about the same.” In fact, both roads “that morning lay / In leaves no step had trodden black.” Meaning: Neither of the roads is less traveled by. These are the facts; we cannot justifiably ignore the reverberations they send through the easy aphorisms of the last two stanzas.One of the attractions of the poem is its archetypal dilemma, one that we instantly recognize because each of us encounters it innumerable times, both literally and figuratively. Paths in the woods and forks in roads are ancient and deep-seated metaphors for the lifeline, its crises and decisions. Identical forks, in particular, symbolize for us the nexus of free will and fate: We are free to choose, but we do not really know beforehand what we are choosing between. Our route is, thus, determined by an accretion of choice and chance, and it is impossible to separate the two.This poem does not advise. It does not say, “When you come to a fork in the road, study the footprints and take the road less traveled by” (or even, as Yogi Berra enigmatically quipped, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it”). Frost’s focus is more complicated. First, there is no less-traveled road in this poem; it isn’t even an option. Next, the poem seems more concerned with the question of how the concrete present (yellow woods, grassy roads covered in fallen leaves) will look froma future vantage point.The ironic tone is inescapable: “I shall be telling this with a sigh / Somewhere ages and ages hence.” The speaker anticipate s his own future insincerity—his need, later on in life, to rearrange the facts and inject a dose of Lone Ranger into the account. He knows that he will be inaccurate, at best, or hypocritical, at worst, when he holds his life up as an example. In fact, he predicts that his future self will betray this moment of decision as if the betrayal were inevitable. This realization is ironic and poignantly pathetic. But the “sigh” is critical. The speaker will not, in his old age, merely gather the youth about him and say, “Do what I did, kiddies. I stuck to my guns, took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Rather, he may say this, but he will sigh first; for he won’t believe it himself. Somewhere in the back of his mind will remain the imag e of yellow woods and two equally leafy paths.Ironic as it is, this is also a poem infused with the anticipation of remorse. Its title is not “The Road Less Traveled” but “The Road Not Taken.” Even as he makes a choice (a choice he is forced to make if does not wa nt to stand forever in the woods, one for which he has no real guide or definitive basis for decision-making), the speaker knows that he will second-guess himself somewhere down the line—or at the very least he will wonder at what is irrevocably lost: the impossible, unknowable Other Path. But the nature of the decision is such that there is no Right Path—just the chosen path and the other path. What are sighed for ages and ages hence are not so much the wrong decisions as the moments of decision themselves—moments that, one atop the other, mark the passing of a life. This is the more primal strain of remorse.Thus, to add a further level of irony, the theme of the poem may, after all, be “seize the day.” But a more nuanced carpe diem, if you please.。

the road not taken翻译及赏析

The Road Not Taken 《未选择的路》罗伯特•弗罗斯特(Robert Frost)生于1874年,卒于1963年,可能要算是20世纪美国最受欢迎和爱戴的一位诗人了。

1912年,他弃农从文,从此成为了一名专业诗人。

他曾在1961年时受邀在约翰•F•肯尼迪总统的就职典礼上朗诵他的诗歌——《The Gift Outright》。

而本次我为大家推荐的《The Road Not Taken》则是他最著名的一首诗歌。

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood 黄色的树林里分出两条路And sorry I could not travel both 可惜我不能同时去涉足And be one traveler, long I stood 我在那路口久久伫立And looked down one as far as I could 我向着一条路极目望去To where it bent in the undergrown 直到它消失在丛林深处Then took the other, as just as fair 但我却选了另外一条路And having perhaps the better claim 它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 显得更诱人、更美丽Though as for that the passing there 虽然在这两条小路上Had worn them really about the same 都很少留下旅人的足迹And both that morning equally lay 虽然那天清晨落叶满地In leaves no step had trodden black 两条路都未经脚印污染Oh, I kept the first for another day! 呵,留下一条路等改日再见!Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 但我知道路径延绵无尽头I doubted if I should even come back.恐怕我难以再回返I shall be telling this with a sigh 也许多少年后在某个地方Somewhere ages and ages hence: 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--- 一片树林里分出两条路I took the one less traveled by, 而我选了人迹更少的一条And that has made all the difference 从此决定了我一生的道路评论1:"The Road Not Taken" is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916 in the collection Mountain Interval, it is the first poem in the volume and is printed in italics. The title is often mistakenly given as "The Road Less Traveled", from the penultimate line: "I took the one less traveled by".The poem has two recognized interpretations; one is a more literal interpretation, while the other is more ironic.Readers often see the poem literally, as an expression of individualism. Critics typically view the poem as ironic.[1] – "'The Road Not Taken,' perhaps the most famous example of Frost's own claims to conscious irony and 'the best example in all of American poetry of a wolf in sheep's clothing.'"[2] – and Frost himself warned "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem – very tricky."[3] Frost intended the poem as a gentle jab at his great friend and fellow poet Edward Thomas with whom he used to take walks through the forest (Thomas always complained at the end that they should have taken a different path) and seemed amused at this certain interpretation of the poem as inspirational.Literal interpretationAccording to the literal (and more common) interpretation, the poem is inspirational, a paean to individualism and non-conformism.The poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking in the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could do that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take.Ironic interpretationThe ironic interpretation, widely held by critics,[1][5] is that the poem is instead about regret and personal myth-making,rationalizing our decisions.In this interpretation, the final two lines:I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.are ironic : the choice made little or no difference at all, the speaker's protestations to the contrary. The speaker admits in the second and third stanzas that both paths may be equally worn and equally leaf-covered, and it is only in his future recollection that he will call one road "less traveled by".The sigh, widely interpreted as a sigh of regret, might also be interpreted ironically: in a 1925 letter to Cristine Yates of Dickson, Tennessee, asking about the sigh, Frost replied: "It was my rather private jest at the expense of those who might think I would yet live to be sorry for the way I had taken in life."Everyone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey, life. There is never a straight path that leaves one with but a sole direction in which to head. Regardless of the original message that Robert Frost had intended to convey, his poem, "The Road Not Taken", has left its readers with many different interpretations. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light that he will see the poem in. In any case however, this poem clearly demonstrates Frost's belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is. "And sorry I could not travel both..." It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what will be missed out on. There is a strong sense of regret before the choice is even made and it lies in the knowledge that in one lifetime, it is impossible to travel down every path. In an attempt to make a decision, the traveler "looks down one as far as I could". The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead. It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. "Then took the other, just as fair, and having perhaps the better claim." What made it have the better claim is that "it was grassland wanted wear." It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path therefore he calls it "the road less traveled by". The fact that the traveler took this path over the more popular, secure one indicates the type of personality he has, one that does not want to necessarily follow the crowd but do more of what has never been done, what is new and different. "And both that morning equally lay in leaves no step had trodden black." The leaves had covered the ground and since the time they had fallen no one had yet to pass by on this road. Perhaps Frost does this because each time a person comes to the point where they have to make a choice, it is new to them, somewhere they have never been and they tend to feel as though no one else had ever been there either. "I kept the first for another day!" The desire to travel down both paths is expressed and is not unusual, but "knowing how way leads on to way", the speaker of this poem realizes that the decision is not just a temporary one and he "doubted if I should ever come back." This is his common sense speaking and acknowledging that what he chooses now will affect every other choice he makes afterward. Once you have performed an act or spoken a word that crystallizes who you are, there is no turning back and it cannot be undone. Once again at the end of the poem the regret hangs over the traveler like a heavy cloud about to burst. He realizes that at the end of his life, "somewhere ages and ages hence", he will have regrets about having never gone back and traveling down the roads he did not take. Yet he remains proud of his decision and he recognizes that it was this path that he chose that made him turn out the way and he did and live his life the way in which he lived. "I took the road less traveled by and that had made all the difference." To this man, what was most important, what really made the difference, is that he did what he wanted, even if it meant taking the road less traveled. If he hadn't, he wouldn't be the same man he is now. There are many equally valid meanings to this poem and Robert Frost may have intended this. He may have been trying to achieve a universal understanding. In other words, there is no judgment, no specificity, no moral. There is simply a narrator who makes a decision in his life that had changed the direction of his life from what it may have otherwise been. It allows all readers from all different experiences to relate to the poem.评论2:Robert Frost is one of the finest of rural New England’s 20th century pastoral poets. His poems are great combination ofwisdom, harmony and serenity. They are simple at first sight, but demand readers for deep reading to grasp further meaning beyond surface.The famous poem of Frost The Road Not Taken is my favorite. This poem consists of four stanzas of five lines. The rhyme scheme is ABAAB. the rhymes are strict and masculine, with notable exception of the last line. There are four stressed syllables each line, varying on iambic tetrameter base.The Road Not Taken tells about life choice. Man’s life is metaphorically related to a journey filled with twists and turns. O ne has to consider a lot before making a wise choice. Though the diverged roads seem identical, they actually lead to different directions, which symbolize different fates.A less than rigorous look at the poem may lead one to believe that Frost’s moral is embodied in those lines. The poem is take n as a call to independence, preaching originality and Emersonian self-reliance. The poem deconstructs its conclusion stanza by stanza.At the beginning of this poem, the poet shows the inability of human beings to foresee the future, especially the results of choices. At the split in the road, the speaker looks far down both the two paths to see what each of the paths will bring. However, his sight is limited; his eyes can only see the path until it bends into “the undergrowth”. Man is free to choose, b ut doesn’t know beforehand the results of hi s choice.Both roads diverge into a “yellow wood” and appear to be “about the same” in their purposes. The first path is a more common route. The other is less traveled, which “was grass and wanted wear”. The poet presents a conflict here—the decision between the common easy path and exceptional challenging path. The two different paths signify two different kinds of lives. Choosing the common easy path, people will feel at ease and live in safety, because the outcome is predictable. However, that kind of l ife may be less exciting and lack of novelty. While choosing the “less traveled” road represents the gamble of facing a more difficult path in lives. This forms contrast with familiar lives of most people. People hope to achiever a satisfactory and interesting life on this road. The wish is good, but reality is full of challenges and uncertainties. Nobody can be sure of the outcome. After vacillating between the two roads, the poet finally decides to take the road “less traveled by” and leads a different life from common people. This may indicate his choice to be a poet, other than other jobs. The poet makes up his mind to dedicate himself to poem writing, which is regarded as a less common career.Once the decision is made, there will be no way to return to the original choice to experience the other route. So the poet utters “Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.” The made choice is irrevocable, so man must be careful and rational before making decisions. At the same time, he must be courageous enough to shoulder the result of his choice, whether it is good or not.Frost presents man’s limitation to explore life’s different possibilities. The poet “sighs” at the end of the poem. For at th e time of one’s choice, he must give up other choices and miss some other things. At the same time, he “sighs” with lamentation, pondering what he may have missed on the other path and that he doesn’t have opportunities to experience another kind of life.The Road Not Taken is interpreted universally as a representation of two similar choices. At the beginning, man may face two identical forks, which symbolize the nexus of free choice and fate. They contrast increasingly with each other as they diverge in their separate directions. Man is fr ee to choose, but it’s beyond his ability to foretell the consequences. Man can choose a common route which guarantees a safe and reliable life. He can also choose a less common one which is unknown, unique and stands out above other else’s. All in all, ma n must be responsible for his choice and has courage to shoulder the result. He can never go back to the past and experience other possibilities. It is impossible to predict the outcome of decisions, so it is essential for him to make wise decisions after considering, selecting and questioning which selection will provide him with fulfillment.The Road Not Taken is full of philosophical overtones. This poem should be read as a warning. Man should consider a lot before making choices and reflect over the cho ices he has made to discover “all the differences”.评论3:Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” has been one of the most analyzed, quoted, anthologized poems in American poetry. A wide-spread interpretation claims that the speaker in the poem is promoting individualism and non-conformity.A Tricky PoemFrost claims that he wrote this poem about his friend Edward Thomas, with whom he had walked many times in the woods near London. Frost has said that while walking they would come to different paths and after choosing one, Thomas would always fret wondering what they might have missed by not taking the other path.About the poem, Frost asserted, "You have to be careful of that one; it's a tricky poem - very tricky." And he is, of course, correct. The poem has been and continues to be used as an inspirational poem, one that to the undiscerning eye seems to be encouraging self-reliance, not following where others have led.But a close reading of the poem proves otherwise. It does not moralize about choice; it simply says that choice is inevitable, but you never know what your choice will mean until you have lived it.First Stanza – Describes SituationThe poem consists of four stanzas. In the first stanza, the speaker describes his position. He has been out walking the woods and comes to two roads, and he stands looking as far down each one as he can see. He would like to try out both, but doubts he could to that, so therefore he continues to look down the roads for a long time trying to make his decision about which road to take.Second Stanza – Decides to Take Less-Traveled RoadThe speaker had looked down the first one “to where it bent in the undergrowth,” and in the second stanza, he reports that he decided to take the other path, because it seemed to have less traffic than the first. But then he goes on to say that they actually were very similarly worn. The second one that he took seems less traveled, but as he thinks about it, he realizes that they were “really about the same.” Not exactly that same but only “about the same.”Third Stanza – Continues Description of RoadsThe third stanza continues with the cogitation about the possible differences between the two roads. He had noticed that the leaves were both fresh fallen on them both and had not been walked on, but then again claims that maybe he would come back and also walk the first one sometime, but he doubted he would be able to, because in life one thing leads to another and time is short.Also on Suite101Frost's Snow and WoodsRobert Frost's "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" seems simple, but its nuanced phrase, "And miles to go before I sleep," offers much about which to speculate.Fourth Stanza – Two Tricky WordsThe fourth stanza holds the key to the trickiness of the poem:I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere 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.Those who interpret this poem as suggesting non-conformity take the word “difference” to be a positive difference. But there is nothing in the poem that suggests that this difference signals a positive outcome. The speaker could not offer such information, because he has not lived the “difference” yet.The other word that leads readers astray is the word “sigh.” By taking “difference” to mean a positive diffe rence, they think that the sigh is one of nostalgic relief; however, a sigh can also mean regret. There is the “oh, dear” kind of sigh, but als o the “what a relief” kind of sigh. Which one is it?If it is the relief sigh, then the difference means the speaker is glad he took the road he did; if it is the regret sigh, then the difference would not be good, and the speaker would be sighing in regret. But the plain fact is that the poem does not identify the nature of that sigh. The speaker of the poem does not even know the nature of that sigh, because that sigh and his evaluation of the difference his choice will make are still in the future. It is a truism that any choice an indiviual make is going to make “all the difference” in how our future turns out.Ca reful Readers Won’t Be TrickedSo Frost was absolutely correct; his poem is tricky—very tricky. In this poem, it is important to be careful with the time frame. When the speaker says he will be reporting sometime in the future how his road choice turned out, he clearly states that he cannot assign meaning to “sigh” and “difference” yet, because he cannot know how his choice will affect his future, until aft erhe has lived it.评论4:1.IntroductionAs is well known to people, Robert Frost is one of the most famous national poets of America. Though contemporary with modernists like T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, Robert Frost is often regarded as a traditional poet of nature. He rejected the revolutionary poetic principles of his contemporary. On the contrary, he ch ose “the old- fashioned way to be new and urged poets to use the idioms of spoken English and, when possible, to rely on commonplace and even rustic imagery. And he saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol. However, unlike other poets of nature, he depicted nature as something in constant conflicts with human beings and bring a deep sense of uncertainty and even tragedy to them. Simple as they seem, his poems are often profound in meaning between the lines. Most of his poems are characterized with an unusual sense of tragedy and reflect weakness of human beings in the face of vast, impersonal force.Additionally, the poem reflects Frost’s own personal tragedy and his miserable, sorrowful inner feelings exactly. When it comes to this, his personal life experience has to be taken into consideration. Famous and popular as he became, but he suffer a lot during all his life. He lost his father as a young boy, and he was bereaved of his beloved wife in his middle age. What is worse, all of his children ended up dying young or suffering from mental disease. For him, life seemed to keep playing tricks on him and made his life miserable. As a result, many poems composed by him, not only this one, are featured with an exotic sense of tragic beauty.2. AnalysisIn this poem, the speaker, a traveler in the wood faced with the choice of two roads. The roads bear two connotations: the material roads and the roads of life. Now, let me give some specific analysis.2.1 See over one roadIn part o ne, the speaker faced with two roads in the autumnal wood and feel puzzled over which one to choose. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood”, He stood there for a long time and mused on one of them, which was taken by many people. Unfortunately, he was unable to find out which place the,road would take him to, for it is far beyond his ability to know where the road would lead. However, he must choose to take.2.2. The other oneIn part two, he stepped on the other road, “Then took the other, as just as fair”, It was grassy and not taken. His choice would affect every other subsequent choice, and there was no turning back. From his choice for the less trodden road, it could be concluded that he did not like to follow the steps of other people, he wanted his own life choired by himself.2.3 HelplessIn part three, he decided to choose the less traveled one, but he was aware that he could never have a chance to return to the first road. “I doubted if I should never come back” showed he is helpless.2.4 Chose the less traveled roadIn part four, “I shall be telling this with a sign”, he articulated why he chose the less traveled road, for he expected his life to be unusual and different. But there was no way to foretell the consequences of his choice.All in all, for the speaker, the road of life was accident and mystical, and his very choice was crucial in determining the consequences of his life. The ordinary people follow other’s choice, while the exceptional ones choose their unique roads of life.3. Conclusion3.1 Everyone is a travelerEveryone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map of their continuous journey. There is never a straight path but a sole direction in which to head. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which he looks upon his future that determines the shade of the light.In any case however, this poem clearly explained Frost's belief that it is the road that one chooses that makes him the man who he is. It is always difficult to make a decision because it is impossible not to wonder about the opportunity cost, what willbe missed out on. It is impossible to travel down every path. The road that will be chosen leads to the unknown, as does any choice in life. As much he may strain his eyes to see as far the road stretches, eventually it surpasses his vision and he can never see where it is going to lead.It is the way that he chooses here that sets him off on his journey and decides where he is going. It was something that was obviously not for everyone because it seemed that the majority of people took the other path. There is simply a narrator who makes a decision in his life that had changed the direction of his life from what it may have otherwise been. It allows all readers from all different experiences to relate to the poem.3.2 Human beings are so weakIn a word, the poem The Road Not Taken is a very beautiful and excellent poem. It is set in a rural natural environment where always inspire the speaker to think of life. It is based on a metaphor in which the journey through life is compared to a journey on a road. And the speaker of the poem has to choose one path instead of another. Even though the two paths look equally attractive, the speaker knows that his choice at this moment may have a significant influence on his future. He does make a decision, hoping that he may be able to visit this place again, yet realizing that such an opportunity is impossible. He imagines himself in the future telling the story of his life, and claiming that his decision to take the road less traveled by, the road few other people have taken, has made all the difference.This thesis intends to explore Frost’s own view of life. He told us that human beings are so weak when compared with nature and the destiny. Though human beings have made great progress in the past several centuries, there will forever exist something that is far beyond their control. For human, it is unable to do anything useful when he is in conflict with the impersonal force. And it’s also unable to control his own destiny; on the contrary, his fate and destiny are in the charge of something mysterious beyond him. In this sense, life is a tragedy to human. So it could be said that Frost conveyed his sense of tragedy common to human through this simple but beautiful poem. It is simple in form but profound in meaning.评论5:SummaryThe speaker stands in the woods, considering a fork in the road. Both ways are equally worn and equally overlaid withun-trodden leaves. The speaker chooses one, telling himself that he will take the other another day. Yet he knows it is unlikely that he will have the opportunity to do so. And he admits that someday in the future he will recreate the scene with a slight twist: He will claim that he took the less-traveled road.From“The Road Not Taken” consists of four stanzas of five lines. Th e rhyme scheme is ABAAB; the rhymes are strict and masculine, with the notable exception of the last line (we do not usually stress the -ence of difference). There are four stressed syllables per line, varying on an iambic tetrameter base.CommentaryThis has got to be among the best-known, most-often-misunderstood poems on the planet. Several generations of careless readers have turned it into a piece of Hallmark happy-graduation-son, seize-the-future puffery. Cursed with a perfect marriage of form and co ntent, arresting phrase wrought from simple words, and resonant metaphor, it seems as if “The Road Not Taken” gets memorized without really being read. For this it has died the cliché’s un-death of trivial immortality.But you yourself can resurrect it from zombie-hood by reading it—not with imagination, even, but simply with accuracy. Of the two roads the speaker says “the passing there / Had worn them really about the same.” In fact, both roads “that morning lay / In leaves no step had trodden black.” Me aning: Neither of the roads is less traveled by. These are the facts; we cannot justifiably ignore the reverberations they send through the easy aphorisms of the last two stanzas.One of the attractions of the poem is its archetypal dilemma, one that we instantly recognize because each of us encounters itinnumerable times, both literally and figuratively. Paths in the woods and forks in roads are ancient and deep-seated metaphors for the lifeline, its crises and decisions. Identical forks, in particular, symbolize for us the nexus of free will and fate: We are free to choose, but we do not really know beforehand what we are choosing between. Our route is, thus, determined by an accretion of choice and chance, and it is impossible to separate the two.This poem does not advise. It does not say, “When you come to a fork in the road, study the footprints and take the road less traveled by” (or even, as Yogi Berra enigmatically quipped, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it”). Frost’s focus is more complicated. First, there is no less-traveled road in this poem; it isn’t even an option. Next, the poem seems more concerned with the question of how the concrete present (yellow woods, grassy roads covered in fallen leaves) will look from a future vantage point.The ironic tone is inescapable: “I shall be telling this with a sigh / Somewhere ages and ages hence.” The speaker anticipate s his own future insincerity—his need, later on in life, to rearrange the facts and inject a dose of Lone Ranger into the account. He knows that he will be inaccurate, at best, or hypocritical, at worst, when he holds his life up as an example. In fact, he predicts that his future self will betray this moment of decision as if the betrayal were inevitable. This realization is ironic and poignantly pathetic. But the “sigh” is critical. The speaker will not, in his old age, merely gather the youth about him and say, “Do what I did, kiddies. I stuck to my guns, took the road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Rather, he may say this, but he will sigh first; for he won’t believe it himself. Somewhere in the back of his mind will remain the imag e of yellow woods and two equally leafy paths.Ironic as it is, this is also a poem infused with the anticipation o f remorse. Its title is not “The Road Less Traveled” but “The Road Not Taken.” Even as he makes a choice (a choice he is forced to make if does not want to stand forever in the woods, one for which he has no real guide or definitive basis for decision-making), the speaker knows that he will second-guess himself somewhere down the line—or at the very least he will wonder at what is irrevocably lost: the impossible, unknowable Other Path. But the nature of the decision is such that there is no Right Path—just the chosen path and the other path. What are sighed for ages and ages hence are not so much the wrong decisions as the moments of decision themselves—moments that, one atop the other, mark the passing of a life. This is the more primal strain of remorse.Thus, to add a further level of irony, the theme of the poem may, after all, be “seize the day.” But a more nuanced carpe die m, if you please.。

《未选择的路》赏析

《未选择的路》赏析

《未选择的路》赏析关于《未选择的路》赏析这是一首哲理抒情诗,写于1915年,自问世以来,广为流传,成为美国诗歌中的名篇。

诗人给我们描绘了这样一幅画面,两条路在黄色的树丛中叉开,一条路蜿蜒地进入丛林榛芜;一条路长满茸茸的绿草。

作为过客的我在岔路前犹豫、徘徊,因为两条路虽然风格不同,但都美丽、平坦、覆满落叶,以同样的魅力吸引着我,等待着踏践,而我只能选择其一。

如果仅仅是两条路的选择,诗人也不需踌躇再三,在这里路有更深的含义,它象征着人生的旅途,诗人面临的是人生道路的选择,难怪他难以举足。

因为无论这种选择是明智还是糊涂,我们都不能回到原来的岔路重新开始。

这首诗揭示了人的一个根本问题──选择。

弗罗斯特避免直言这两条路代表着什么,对选择的具体内容没有任何暗示,诗人所要阐明的仅仅是选择本身。

诗描绘的是一个面临选择的人和他在进行选择时的心态,这个人是弗罗斯特,也是我们。

选择是人生经验中的一个方面,在生活中,我们每个人都面临着选择,人生就是由无数次选择组成的。

同一时刻同样的机遇,我们只能选择其一。

当我们沿着自己选定的道路前行时,常常会对那条未选择的`路怀着深深的眷恋,如果走那条路又会怎样?也许更奇伟、瑰丽,也许更平凡、黯淡,不管怎样,我们都无法去实践,它成为一个永远难圆的梦。

选择的存在决定了生活中具有现实性和可能性两个方面。

当一种选择成为现实,必然伴随着另一种可能,它们无法互换,因为我们不能返回选择的起点。

这是人生无法解决、无法摆脱的深层悲剧,所以,作者要发出无奈的深深叹息。

选择造成无法弥补的差异,幸运与不幸,快乐与悲哀,希望与渺茫,形成了多姿多彩的人生。

诗人用了象征的手法,通过直觉和戏剧性来传达诗中的哲理,以个别反映一般,以小见大,以近寓远。

清新的诗句后面,是诗人对人生深层的思索和叹息。

反复阅读,我们可以领会其中的哲理,得到智慧的启迪。

未选择的路句子赏析人生的道路千万条,但我们只能选择一条来走,那么我们该如何选择呢?下面是店铺整理的关于《未选择的路》的句子赏析,希望对你有帮助。

《未选择的路》句子赏析诗中的叙述者在清晨散步时来到了林间的一个岔道口,在他面前有两条路可供选择。

一条路比较僻静,另一条路则有纷杂的脚印,显然平时行人比较多一些。

但是在那天早晨,那两条路上的小草都还挂着露水,说明还没人从那儿经过。

经过片刻的犹豫,叙述者决定走那条比较僻静的道路,因为那条道走的人少,更有探索的价值。

但他虽然作出了选择,心里仍在嘀咕,假如选择了另外那条路,他会遇见些什么样的东西。

在诗歌的末尾,叙述者设想自己在多年以后向后人讲述自己在这个早晨所作出的选择,并且感叹在作选择时的一念之差往往会造成两种截然不同的人生经历。

和弗罗斯特的其他作品一样,这首诗虽然只是描写了生活中一个普通情景,但它表现的却是内涵及其丰富和深刻,具有普遍意义的人生哲理。

这正是诗歌的艺术魅力所在。

各段详解第一节:他站在人生的路口上,他两条都想去,犹豫不决。

第二节:他选择人少的一条路,这条路充满挑战。

第三节:他想留下一条路改日再来走,但路很长很长。

他知道自己不可能再回来了。

第四节:他回忆他的往事,又想起了那片森林,未选择的那条路.诗人告诉我们:人生的道路千万条,但一个人一生中往往只能选择其中的一条,一旦选定了绝无重走之机,所以,必须慎重;人生的道路上不要随波逐流,而要经过自己慎重的思考,做出独立自主的选择。

这是一种象征手法。

自由诗译诗

自由诗译诗

自由诗译诗一、原文:《未选择的路》黄色的树林里分出两条路,可惜我不能同时去涉足,我在那路口久久伫立,我向着一条路极目望去,直到它消失在丛林深处。

但我却选择了另一条路,它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂,显得更诱人,更美丽;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,两条路都未经脚步污染。

啊,留下一条路等改日再见!但我知道路径延绵无尽头,恐怕我难以再回返。

也许多少年后在某个地方,我将轻声叹息把往事回顾:一片树林里分出两条路——而我选择了人迹更少的一条,从此决定了我一生的道路。

二、衍生注释:1. “涉足”:指进入某种环境或范围,在这里表示走上某条路的意思。

2. “幽寂”:幽静、寂静,形容那条少有人走的路的氛围。

三、赏析:主题上,这首诗围绕着人生道路的选择展开。

诗人通过描绘在树林中面对两条不同道路的抉择情景,表达了人生总是要面对各种选择这一深刻的主题。

情感方面,充满了一种对已选道路的感慨和对未选道路的一丝眷恋。

既有着不安又有着坚定,就像我们在人生重要的抉择时刻内心复杂的情绪。

表现手法上运用了象征,把实际的道路选择象征为人生的道路选择。

两条路的不同景象,荒草萋萋与少有人足迹的小路象征着不寻常、充满未知与挑战的人生道路;而另一条消失在丛林深处的路则象征较为平常的道路。

通过细腻的场景描写增强了选择的画面感,引起读者强烈的共鸣。

四、作者介绍:《未选择的路》的作者是罗伯特·弗罗斯特,他是20世纪最受欢迎的美国诗人之一。

他的诗歌往往从乡村生活、自然景象取材,清新质朴却又富含深刻的哲理。

弗罗斯特一生坎坷,经历了诸多困难,但他的诗作中却常常展现出坚韧、对生活深邃的思考等。

五、运用片段:例子一:在毕业选择工作的时候,我的面前有两个offer,一个是大众眼中安稳又有保障的大公司工作,另一个是新兴小公司充满挑战但前景不明朗的职位。

我站在抉择的路口,就像站在弗罗斯特诗中的那片树林。

我想到了“黄色的树林里分出两条路,可惜我不能同时去涉足”。

罗伯特·弗罗斯特《未选择的路》赏析
罗伯特·弗罗斯特(1874一1963)美国诗人,生于加利福尼亚州,是在马萨诸塞州劳伦斯上的中学,也在达特第斯学院时而务农,时而到中学教希腊语和拉丁语。

他的第一部诗集出版于1913年。

被认为是“新英格兰的农民诗人”。

他通过自然来表达一种象征意义,而不是什么田园式的思乡情调。

弗罗斯特是一位独具风格的美国现代诗人。

他吟唱着20世纪的音调,又采用了接近于传统诗的诗体;他的诗富于象征和哲理意味,同时又有浓厚的乡土色彩。

《未选择的路》是弗罗斯特写的,这首诗采用了象征的艺术手法。

诗中的叙述者在清晨散步时来到了林间的一个岔道口,在他面前有两条路可供选择。

一条路比较僻静,另一条路则有纷杂的脚印,显然平时行人比较多一些。

但是在那天早晨,那两条路上的小草都还挂着露水,说明还没人从那儿经过。

经过片刻的犹豫,叙述者决定走那条比较僻静的道路,因为那条道走的人少,更有探索的价值。

但他虽然作出了选择,心里仍在嘀咕,假如选择了另外那条路,他将会遇见些什么样的东西。

在诗歌的末尾,叙述者设想自己在多年以后向后人讲述自己在这个早晨所作出的选择,并且感叹在作选择时的一念之差往往会造成两种截然不同的人生经历。

和弗罗斯特的其他作品一样,这首诗虽然只是描写了生活中一个普通情景,但它表现的却是内涵及其丰富和深刻,具有普遍意义的人生哲理。

这正是诗歌的艺术魅力所在。

”这结句
寄寓着诗人无限的人生感慨,具有深刻的象征性和哲理性。

诗人以含蓄清新、别具一格的艺术风格再现出优美的自然风光,并且通过对自然景物的描写,反映人们内心深处的情感波澜,诗还注意引起人们的联想,把理性与不情感融于一首短诗之中,深化了这首诗的意蕴,给人以丰富的启迪。

在这首诗中,诗人以朴素自然的语言和韵律来表现自己对人生的思索。

这种质朴无华的风格使这首诗如夏夜里清凉柔和的风,洋溢着清新自然的情趣,给人一种沁人心脾之感。

这首诗描绘的是一个面临选择的人和他进行选择时的心态,至于选择
的具体内容并没有写出,诗人的着眼点是选择本身。

每一个读者都能够在这首诗中发现自身的生活体验,理解其中的哲理内容。

因为这首诗具有内涵的开放性,犹如一个巨大的构架,其中的内容有待读者去填充,在其中回顾自己的人生之路,从而受到触动而引发深深的思索。

这篇文章写出了人生应正确看待眼前的“路”,他影响着我们整个人生。

艺术特色
未选择的路采用了象征的艺术手法,“路”是象征着人生之路,而象征是诗歌中常见的艺术手法。

《未选择的路》是一首哲理抒情诗,它表面平易,实则蕴含深邃的哲理;看似倾诉个人经历,实则表达人们的共同感受。

在这首诗里,弗罗斯特抓住林中岔道这一具体形象,用比喻的手法引起人们丰富生动的联想,烘托出人生岔路这样具有哲理寓意的象征。

诗人选择的是人们司空见惯的林中岔道,来阐发如何抉择人生道路这一生活哲理的。
