Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

And that has made all the difference.

The Road Not Taken
-By Robert Frost
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,
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，
显得更诱人、更美丽，
虽然在这条小路上，
都很少留下旅人的足迹;
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.
虽然那天清晨落叶满地，
两条路都未经脚印污染。
呵，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，
我将轻声叹息把往事回顾：
一片树林里分出两条路，
而我选了人迹更少的一条，
从此决定了我一生的道路。

UNIT 5 POEMS
Reading and Thinking
Appreciate different forms of English poems
Pre-reading
Compared with other forms of literature such as the novel, drama, and the short story, what are the characteristics of poetry
Why do you think people write poems
Compared to other forms of literature, poetry tends to be shorter though a poem can be very long. Words are used differently, not in sentences and paragraphs like in novels, but lines and stanzas (节；段). Often grammar and punctuation are ignored or used differently. Poetry is more emotional, and the possibilities are much more open than in prose.

Where she awaits her husband
On and on the river flows.

Transformed into stone.

Should the traveler return,
this stone would utter speech.

没人能告诉我，
也没人会知道，
风从哪儿来，
要去向哪儿。
风从一个地方飞来，
飞得快，飞得急，
我跟不上它的步子，
跑也来不及。
可要是我停下来，
不再紧握手中的风筝线，
风筝就随风飘去，
飘一天，飘一夜。
无论风筝飘哪儿，
只要我找得见，
我会知道风，
也曾去过那里。
我就能告诉人们，
风去了哪里……
可风从哪儿来，
没有人知道。
