《未选之路》罗伯特.弗罗斯特
theroadnottaken翻译及赏析
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.。

罗伯特·弗罗斯特诗:《未走之路》
金色的树林中有两条岔路,
可惜我不能沿着两条路行走;
我久久地站在那分岔的地方,
极目眺望其中一条路的尽头,
直到它转弯,消失在树林深处。
然后我毅然踏上了另一条路,
这条路也许更值得我向往,
因为它荒草丛生,人迹罕至;
不过说到其冷清与荒凉,
两条路几乎一模一样。
那天早晨两条路都铺满落叶,
落叶上都没有被踩踏的痕迹。
唉,我把第一条路留给将来!
但我知道人世间阡陌纵横,
我不知将来能否再回到那里。
我将会一边叹息一边叙说,
在某个地方,在很久很久以后:
曾有两条小路在树林中分手,
我选了一条人迹稀少的行走,
结果后来的一切都截然不同。

关键词: 道路,选择,通俗,文体The Road Not Taken is a famous poem written by the notable American poet Robert Frost. This poem is started from the psychological activity of the writer when he was facing the two roads in the forest, and then lead to a profound philosophy——people must keep cautious when facing choices, and could never come back.The Road Not Taken has 4 stanzas with 5 lines in each, while the form is the traditional 4 iambic feet. The rhyme scheme is abaab, which are wood, both, could, undergrowth; fair, claim, wear, there, same; lay, black, day, way, back; sigh, hence, I, by, difference. This lively rhythm gives reader the sense of following.This poem is from the world-famous poet, Robert Frost, who was born in San Franciso and got his whole-American glory in the 1990s. Frost was one of the most popular poets in America during his lifetime and was frequently called the country's unofficial poet laureate. He was farming in Derry, New Hampshire when, at the age of 38, he sold the farm, uprooted his family and moved to England, where he devoted himself to his poetry. There are 10 volumes of poems published by Frost in his whole life. This poem is belong to his third volume Moutain Interval(1916), and also one of my favorite poem.“Frost had rejected the revolutionary poetic principles of his contemporaries, choosing instead the old-fashioned way to be new.”(History and Anthology of American Literature: 167) He prefers to use the traditional forms of lyric and narrative, and the simple words to express a new and profound philosophy. As a poet of nature he had obvious affinities with romantic writers. He saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol, but he had little faith in religious dogma or speculative thought. His concern with nature reflected deep moral uncertainties, and his poetry, for all its apparent simplicity, often probes mysteries of darkness and irrationality in the bleak and chaotic landscapes of an indifferent universe where men stand alone, unaided and perplexed. In Frost’s poetry, there are various metaphorical objects, such as natural scenery, phenomenon, animals and flowers in na ture, others are closely associated with life, farm tools, food, women’s beauty, human body, religion and mythology, etc..All these reflect the poet’s love for nature and life, his sad experience in life and the influence religion exerted upon western p eople’s daily life.This poem is a typical example. In this poem, Frost reviewed his trouble in his life, which is two different ways of life. Once he was facing two different roads, one is fair while the another one is grassy. He stood and thought for a long time. “And sorry I could not travel both, and be one traveler; long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth.” He was confused which one to take. Because the curiosity leads him to look forward both, and he t hought he could take one first then another one later. “Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.” But finally, the fact led a deep philosophy, which made him feel remorse for his original choice. “I took the one less trave led by,and that has made all the difference.”In conclusion, this poem announced itself to be "about" important issues in life: about the nature of choice, of decision, of how to go in one direction rather than another and how to feel about the direction you took and didn't take. Although the symbols are only two very common roads in the nature, his poem still give readers profound affects. Not only facing the roads of forest, but also the troubles in anytime and anyplace of people’s life, the choice i s the most common thing but also the most difficulty trouble in everyone’s daily life. Every decision will lead a totally different result. Poet used a very vivid way to announce this fact.《未选择的路》是美国诗人罗伯特.弗罗斯特的著名诗篇。

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.。
罗伯特弗罗斯特未选择的路赏析
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。
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。
《未选择的路》表面说的是自然界的道路,而实际上是借自然界的道路来表达对于人生之路的思考,告诫人们:人生只能选择一条路,如果选择了就不能回头,因此必须慎重,不能随波逐流。

生命本身就是一个选择的集合,选择是艰难的。
树林里两条路的交会处就犹如人生道路上的十字路口,何去何从总要经过一番思考与抉择。
很多人只能看到漫漫长路呈现在人们视线之中的这段旅程的美好,并因此而做出选择,而对于“被灌木丛挡住”的更为遥远的另一段路途却无法深刻洞察。

关键词: 道路,选择,通俗,文体The Road Not Taken is a famous poem written by the notable American poet Robert Frost. This poem is started from the psychological activity of the writer when he was facing the two roads in the forest, and then lead to a profound philosophy——people must keep cautious when facing choices, and could never come back.The Road Not Taken has 4 stanzas with 5 lines in each, while the form is the traditional 4 iambic feet. The rhyme scheme is abaab, which are wood, both, could, undergrowth; fair, claim, wear, there, same; lay, black, day, way, back; sigh, hence, I, by, difference. This lively rhythm gives reader the sense of following.This poem is from the world-famous poet, Robert Frost, who was born in San Franciso and got his whole-American glory in the 1990s. Frost was one of the most popular poets in America during his lifetime and was frequently called the country's unofficial poet laureate. He was farming in Derry, New Hampshire when, at the age of 38, he sold the farm, uprooted his family and moved to England, where he devoted himself to his poetry. There are 10 volumes of poems published by Frost in his whole life. This poem is belong to his third volume Moutain Interval(1916), and also one of my favorite poem.“Frost had rejected the revolutionary poetic principles of his contemporaries, choosing instead the old-fashioned way to be new.”(History and Anthology of American Literature: 167) He prefers to use the traditional forms of lyric and narrative, and the simple words to express a new and profound philosophy. As a poet of nature he had obvious affinities with romantic writers. He saw nature as a storehouse of analogy and symbol, but he had little faith in religious dogma or speculative thought. His concern with nature reflected deep moral uncertainties, and his poetry, for all its apparent simplicity, often probes mysteries of darkness and irrationality in the bleak and chaotic landscapes of an indifferent universe where men stand alone,unaided and perplexed. In Frost’s poetry, there are various metaphorical objects, such as natural scenery, phenomenon, animals and flowers in nature, others are closely associated with life, farm tools, food, women’s beauty, human body, religion and mythology, etc..All these 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.This poem is a typical example. In this poem, Frost reviewed his trouble in his life, which is two different ways of life. Once he was facing two different roads, one is fair while the another one is grassy. He stood and thought for a long time. “And sorry I could not travel both, and be one traveler; long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth.” He was confused which one to take. Because the curiosity leads him to look forward both, and he thought he could take one first then another one later. “Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.”But finally, the fact led a deep philosophy, which made him feel remorse for his original choice. “I took the one less traveled by,and that has made all the difference.”In conclusion, this poem announced itself to be "about" important issues in life: about the nature of choice, of decision, of how to go in one direction rather than another and how to feel about the direction you took and didn't take. Although the symbols are only two very common roads in the nature, his poem still give readers profound affects. Not only facing the roads of forest, but also the troubles in anytime and anyplace of people’s life, the choice is the most common thing but also the most difficulty trouble in everyone’s daily life. Every decision will lead a totally different result. Poet used a very vivid way to announce this fact.《未选择的路》是美国诗人罗伯特.弗罗斯特的著名诗篇。
未来的路罗伯特赏析
未来的路罗伯特赏析
美国诗人罗伯特弗罗斯特《未选择的路》(也称《未来的路》)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“荒草萋萋,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。

The Road Not Taken --Robert Frost 《未选之路》罗伯特.弗罗斯特
TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, 黄色的丛林里分出两条路,
And sorry I could not travel both 可惜我不能同时涉足,
And be one traveler, long I stood 我站在那路口久久伫立,
And looked down one as far as I could 向着一条路极目望去,
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 直到它隐没在丛林深处。
Then took the other, as just as fair, 然而我选择了另一条路,
And having perhaps the better claim, 它荒草萋萋,十分幽静,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 显得更诱人,更美丽;
Though as for that the passing there 虽然那天在这两条小路上
Had worn them really about the same, 都很少留下旅人的足迹
And both that morning equally lay 那天清晨落叶满地
In leaves no step had trodden black. 两条路都未经旅人踩印
Oh, I kept the first for another day! 啊,留下一条路等改日再见!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 明知路途绵延无尽
I doubted if I should ever come back. 我却怀疑是否应该回到原地
I shall be telling this with a sigh 也许多年后在某个地方,
Somewhere ages and ages hence: 我将轻声叹息将往事回顾;
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, 而我选择了人迹更少的一条,
And that has made all the difference. 从此决定了我一生的道路。
[导读]丛林中分出两条路,一条野草萋萋,一条遍布足迹,放眼向路的尽头望去,你会选择哪一条? 罗伯特.弗罗斯特向我们阐明了他的观点:选择那条人迹较少的路,因为它更需要人们去经历--也许他想告诉我们,在我们的人生道路中应该多尝试下未曾走过的路。
的确,可能我们并不是做每个决定之前都能考虑得清清楚楚,但是勇于尝试的人生才会少很多遗憾~~~~。
