今天和大家分享美国诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特创作的《未选择的路》,这首深邃的哲理诗展现了现实生话中的人们处在十字路口时难以抉择的心情。最近热文中比较火的一句:于历史或许只是一个微小转身,但于企业于个人,则能是一代乃至几代人的不归。身处于这样一个日益变化的世界大背景之下,个人的命运显得如此的微乎其微。所谓的观大势,谋大局,我们正在经历着这样一个大的迷局之中,可能十年、二十年后,我们才会幡然醒悟,到那时候,我们又不禁感叹世道变迁,大势如潮,你我的命运被这个历史的洪流挟裹,或荣或辱,都难以言说。若干年后,当我们重读这首诗,或许感慨会更多一些。
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 back.
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.
译文:
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。
但我却选了另外一条路,
它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂,
啊,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。
也许多少年后在某个地方,
我将轻声叹息将往事回顾:
一片树林里分出两条路——
而我选择了人迹更少的一条,
从此决定了我一生的道路。
