英诗汉译《岐路徬徨》

[古风] 英诗汉译《岐路徬徨》（The Road Not Taken）

【题记】罗伯特·弗罗斯特（Robert Frost，1874-1963）是20世纪90年代最受欢迎的美国诗人之一。他的名篇The Road not Taken以深邃的哲理，展现了现实生话中人们处在十字路口时难以抉择的心情。在诗中，诗人选择了一条人迹稀少的道路，同时又遗憾“鱼和熊掌不可兼得”，只有在多年以后的回忆中轻叹遗憾。

诗歌分为四节，每一节是一个五行诗（pentastich）, 每节的第一、三、四行，第二、五行分别押韵，其韵法（rhyme scheme）为：abaab。本人也试图按照原诗的韵法进行汉译，深感力有不隶，难以精确传达出原诗的情致与韵味。恭候批评。

汉译标题《岐路徬徨》

黄树林间路分流，

惜难并行试两路。

徘徊岔口望良久，

一路延绵无尽头，

直至曲弯隐灌木。

另寻路径有缘由，

依旧妖娆意彷徨。

绿草纷披更凄幽。

若言足稀踏上头，

两路情形却相当。

晨曦两路默岔开，

落叶沿途未踏经。

忍抛一路待将来，

曲径交缠变难裁，

何日回归辨不清。

他年兴叹述此程，

跋涉重重身何处。

落叶零零两路横，

人稀寂径决然行，

逆旅从兹天地殊。

挂玉英文原诗：

The Road Not Taken （ByRobert 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,

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
