The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

这首诗由罗伯特·弗罗斯特（Robert Frost）创作，是其最著名的诗歌之一。它描绘了一个人在森林中遇到两条分岔路时所面临的抉择。诗人站在交叉路口，思考着应该选择哪条路。他最终选择了那条较少人走过的路，并认为这决定改变了他的一生。

这首诗不仅仅是一首关于旅行的诗，更是关于人生选择的隐喻。每个人都会在生活中面临各种各样的选择，而这些选择往往没有绝对正确的答案。诗中的“我”选择了那条看似不那么受欢迎的道路，也许是因为这条路上有更多未知的冒险等待着他。这种勇气和决心值得我们学习。

当我们面对选择时，不妨像诗中的“我”一样，仔细观察每条路的情况，然后做出自己认为最合适的选择。无论结果如何，重要的是我们能够勇敢地迈出脚步，去探索属于自己的道路。记住，正是那些我们未曾选择的道路，塑造了今天的我们。
