This

is

a

meditative

poem,

in

which

thespeaker

tells

us

how

the

course

of

hislife

was

determined

when

he

came

upontwo

roads

that

diverged

in

wood.Forced

to

choose,

he

“took

traveled

and

that

has

made

allthe

difference.”

decision.

We

This

universaldilemma

Frost

turns

into

poetry

ofgentle

yet

strong

understanding.沒(méi)上的路金黃的林地岔開(kāi)兩條路，只可惜我不能全都踏上。獨(dú)個(gè)的行旅，久久的佇立，竭目遙看一條的盡頭，蜿蜒隱沒(méi)在林叢深處。然后我踏上別的一條，它也風(fēng)光明媚，看來(lái)更覺(jué)吸引；那里綠草茸茸，正待踐足，只是上面往來(lái)的人跡，兩條岔路相差也無(wú)幾。那天早上，兩條岔路同躺在那里，落葉覆著，沒(méi)有點(diǎn)點(diǎn)踏污的痕跡，啊！留下沒(méi)有上的給另一天吧！惟獨(dú)前路是無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的呀！怎知道可還有重來(lái)的時(shí)候？在將來(lái)、將來(lái)的某一天某一處，在唏噓的喟嘆聲里，我會(huì)細(xì)說(shuō)：林地里岔開(kāi)了兩條路、而我－－－我就走上了那條少人走過(guò)的，那帶來(lái)的一切可又多么的不同。沒(méi)有走的路幽林兩路側(cè)雙旁，悲嘆未能盡欣賞，我乃游人久佇立，極目遙望路茫茫，蜿蜒曲折低叢廊。兩路皆美不兼得，取一也許更頌揚(yáng)，綠草青青待拜訪，人跡匆匆過(guò)山崗，此途彼途亦相當(dāng)。清晨?jī)陕放P蒼涼，步履尚未踏青桑，我留一路將來(lái)走，雖知千轉(zhuǎn)百回長(zhǎng)，我問(wèn)能否歸故鄉(xiāng)。輕聲嘆氣訴衷腸，身在異地鬢發(fā)蒼，幽林兩路側(cè)雙旁，我取一徑人跡荒，此乃差異妙中藏。Stopping

它搖一搖身上的串鈴，問(wèn)我這地方該不該停。此外只有輕風(fēng)拂雪片，再也聽(tīng)不見(jiàn)其他聲音。

森林又暗又深真可羨，但我還要守一些諾言，還要趕多少路才安眠，還要趕多少路才安眠。Explanation：

This

is

a

deceptively

simple

poem

inwhich

the

speaker

literally

stops

hishorse

in

the

winter

twilight

to

observethe

beauty

of

the

forest

scene,

andthen

is

moved

to

continue

his

journey.

To

stop

at

a

place

where

there

is

nofarmhouse

at

hand

The

poem

reminds

us

of

the

solitary

state

of

the

speaker,

which

is

similar

towhat

we

have

in

the

classical

Chinesepoem：千山鳥(niǎo)飛絕，萬(wàn)徑人蹤滅；孤舟蓑笠翁，獨(dú)釣寒江雪。After

Apple-Picking

After

a

long

day"s

work,

the

speaker

istired

of

apple

picking.

He

has

feltdrowsy

and

dreamy

since

the

morningwhen

he

looked

through

a

sheet

of

icelifted

from

the

surface

of

a

watertrough.

Now

he

feels

tired,

feels

sleepcoming

on,

but

wonders

whether

it

is

anormal,

end-of-the-day

sleep

orsomething

deeper.

Like

Wordsworth,

Frost

takes

anordinary

experience

andtransforms

it

into

a

meditativemoment,

a

philosophical

musing.Apple-picking

slides

graduallyawayfrom

merely

harvesting

fruit

toconsidering

how

life

has

beenexperienced

fully

but

with

someregrets

and

mistakes.

The

reference

to

wintercoming

on

feels

like

thepresence

of

mortality.
