未选择的路罗伯特·弗罗斯特 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 但我却选择了另外一条路 它荒草萋萋，十分幽寂 显得更诱人，更美丽 虽然在这两条小路上 都很少留下旅人的足迹 虽然那天清晨落叶满地 两条路都未经脚印污染 呵，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 也许多少年后在某一个地方 我将轻声叹息把往事回顾 一片森林里分出两条路 而我却选择了人迹更少的一条 从此决定了我一生的道路
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know, His house is in the village though. He will not see me stopping here, To watch his woods fill up with snow. . My little horse must think it queer, To stop without a farmhouse near, Between the woods and frozen lake, The darkest evening of the year. . He gives his harness bells a shake, To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep, Of easy wind and downy flake. . The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep.

Literary style
Frost‟s poems show deep appreciation of natural world and sensibility about the human aspirations. All the images (woods, stars, houses) he uses reflect the poet‟s love for nature and life, his sad experience in life and the influence religion exerted upon western people‟s daily life.
In 1912, at the age of 38, Frost decided to try to make a new start. He sold the farm and used the proceeds to take his family to England, where he became acquainted with the F.S. Flint, Edward Thomas, and Ezra Pound, who called Frost‟s poems “modern georgics(田园诗)". Fortunately he had his first two volumes of verse, A Boy‟s Will 《孩子的意愿》 (for which he

•III. Frost’s View and Theme
• His poetry concerns New England’s nature. He saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol, so his concern with nature reflected deep moral uncertainties. • His poetry often probes mysterious of darkness and irrationality in the bleak and chaotic landscapes of an indifferent universe. • The quest of the solitary person to make sense of the world has become the central theme of all Frost’s collections and made his poetry among the most accessible of modern writers. • The poetry of Robert Frost combined pastoral imagery with solitary philosophical themes.
Lecture 12-RobertFrost
The fourth stanza reveals the woods’ attraction toward the speaker as it is “lovely, dark and deep”. But it also shows the speaker’s determination to break away from such aesthetic temptation because he has worldly burdens or responsibilities (“promises”).
Thompson said, contrary is one of Frost’s major and recurrent themes. But for Frost, contraries are also complementary. In this poem, there are many contraries, such as civilization vs. nature, responsibilities vs. indulgence, action vs. contemplation, etc. The basic contrary is between life and death, such encounter can reveal Frost’s view of life.
The natural picture it depicts is with such a heartbreaking serenity, calmness and harmonious beauty with its “easy wind and downy flake”. After such aesthetic moment, the speaker sets off towards home, continuing his unfinished journey.

Robert Frost罗伯特·弗罗斯特 林畔小驻
Whose woods these are I think I know.
想来我认识这座森林，
His house is in the village though;
林主的庄宅就在邻村,
它摇一摇身上的串铃， 问我这地方该不该停。 此外只有轻风拂雪片， 再也听不见其他声音。
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
最後一行的“sleep”可能象征著「死亡」。这便是这首是更深 一层的含义，同时说明了作者对自然的态度。

Robert Frost1.人物相关信息罗伯特·弗罗斯特是20世纪最受欢迎的美国诗人。
他曾赢得4次普利策奖和许多其他的奖励及荣誉，被称之为美国文学中的桂冠诗人。
Along with Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot, and Wallace Stevens, Frost is firmly regarded as one of the masters of modern American poetry. His primary contribution to poetic techniques is his theory of the “sounds of sense.” He blends the regularity of poetic meter with the freedom of speaking voice. His poems gain their special effects from a combination of speech informality and the formality of meter.”2. Characters of his poems一版本Frost was a poet particular as to technique and artistry, he did not follow the free verse 自由诗fashion of his contemporaries.He was traditional in form, and his poetic language was plain, clearly conveying a feeling in harmony with nature.Frost’s poems show deep appreciation of natural world and sensibility about the human aspirations.Frost often used the rhythms and vocabulary of ordinary speechHis images-woods, stars, houses are usually taken from everyday life.All these images reflect the poet’s love for nature and life, his sad experience in life and the influence religion exerted upon western people’s daily life.另一版本Style: He used simple language, a graceful style, and traditional forms of poetry.His poetry is characterized by a perfect combination of the traditional poetic forms and American vocabulary and speech rhythms; by a recurrent “persona”(speaker) in the image of a wise countryman.He believes poetry was metaphor. He suggests rather than speaks. He never takes side in face of life’s paradox, leaving the decision to be made by readers themselves.诗歌分类及特点弗罗斯特的诗可分为两大类：抒情短诗和戏剧性较强的叙事诗。
