Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1923)
－－Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
雪夜林畔小駐
－－余光中譯
想來(lái)我認(rèn)識(shí)這座森林,
林主的莊宅就在鄰村,
卻不會(huì)見(jiàn)我在此駐馬,
看他林中積雪的美景.
我的小馬一定頗驚訝：
四望不見(jiàn)有什么農(nóng)家,
偏是一年最暗的黃昏,
寒林和冰湖之間停下.
它搖一搖身上的串鈴,
問(wèn)我這地方該不該停.
此外只有輕風(fēng)拂雪片,
再也聽(tīng)不見(jiàn)其他聲音.
森林又暗又深真可羨,
但我還要守一些諾言,
還要趕多少路才安眠,
還要趕多少路才安眠.
