遺珠 The Road Not Taken

翻譯Robert Frost詩選：

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;

黃樹林裡岔路現，左右兩足無法展。

趕路雖急苦難選，順著眼光極目看，直至樹叢遮路彎。

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,

轉取別條也順眼，吸睛貌似多一點。

青草如毯露笑臉。若問借路這一關，左右岔路都方便。

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.

何況晨曦不偏袒，無人踏足落葉安。

哦右岔路遺珠憾！人稀路上心又亂，半途回頭把路換？

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.

吐氣發抒苦與甘，訴說久遠那一點：

樹林岔口阮——，阮踏荒途自己願，何等歧異歸初選。
