黃樹(shù)林里分叉兩條路，

    TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,

    只可惜我不能都踏行。

    And sorry I could not travel both

    我，單獨(dú)的旅人，佇立良久，

    And be one traveler, long I stood

    極目眺望一條路的盡頭，

    And looked down one as far as I could

    看它隱沒(méi)在叢林深處。

    To where it bent in the undergrowth;

    於是我選擇了另一條路，

    Then took the other, as just as fair,

    一樣平直，也許更值得，

    And having perhaps the better claim,

    因?yàn)榍嗖菀鹨�，還未被踏過(guò)，

    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

    若有過(guò)往人蹤，

    Had worn them really about the same,

    路的狀況會(huì)相差無(wú)幾。

    Though as for that the passing there

    那天早晨，兩條路都覆蓋在枯葉下，

    And both that morning equally lay

    沒(méi)有踐踏的污痕：

    In leaves no step had trodden black.

    啊，原先那條路留給另一天吧！

    Oh, I kept the first for another day!

    明知一條路會(huì)引出另一條路，

    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

    我懷疑我是否會(huì)回到原處。

    I doubted if I should ever come back

    在許多許多年以後，在某處，

    I shall be telling this with a sigh

    我會(huì)輕輕嘆息說(shuō)：

    Somewhere ages and ages hence:

    黃樹(shù)林里分叉兩條路，而我，

    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--

    我選擇了較少人跡的一條，

    I took the one less traveled by,

    使得一切多麼地不同。

    And that has made all the difference
