Theroadnottaken

这首名诗《TheRoadNotTaken》形式是传统的抑扬格四音步，但音步可变（含有不

少抑抑扬的成分）；每节的韵式为abaab。

这正如他在一首诗中写的：“黄色的简短诗歌大全 树林里有两条岔开的路/可惜我不能在同一时间走

两条路/我选择了少人行走的那条/这就造成了一切的差异。”诗人选择了诗歌，放下了

在一所师范学校教书的职业以及那可能平坦，安稳清明时节爱上我泰剧 的生活。他对自己说：写诗吧，穷

就穷吧，于是他们就来了英国，在离伦敦不远的一个村子里找到了一座木板茅屋作为

新家。不久他的第一本诗集《孩子的意愿》出版了，以它特有的朴素坦率和真淳赢得

了诗人们的好评。庞德特撰文说它是美国很长一段时间以来最好的一本诗集。

全诗共4节，可分两层：1—3节为第一层，在树林里，“我”面临着两条

路，而经过思考决定选择了一条人迹罕至的路。在这一层中，诗人描述了

选择人迹罕至的路并不是草率决定的，而是经历了复杂的心理历程。描述

了“我”站在岔路口，为不能同时涉足两条路而遗憾，“我在那路口久久

伫立”，写出“我”的犹豫和久久思索：一条路平坦通畅，极目可望见它

的尽头；而另一条路幽寂荒凉，充满着引人探索的诱惑，但“无限美景在

险峰”，

“我”终于选择了那条人迹更少的路，就让另一条路留待后日去走，

这显然是作者做出抉择后的一种自我安慰，因为“我知道路径延绵无尽头，

/恐怕我难以再回返”，虽然如此，但依然义无返顾。

第4节为第二层，是作者多年以后的感慨，

“我选择了人迹更少的一条，/从此决定了我一生的道路”。这告诉我

们，人的一生面临着无数的选择，而每一次选择都会对人生产生重要影响；

一个人的一生怎样度过，就看他在人生的岔路口做出了怎样的选择，选择

不同，命运就会不同。

歌中所描写的岔路就是人生岔路的象征。它说明，在人生的旅途中，我们时常

必须要在两条道路、两种思想或两种行动中做出选择，不同的选择将决定不同的人生

方向。面对却组词 选择时，我们往往会变得犹豫不决，反复权衡，拿不定主意。最后，我们

终究会选择其中的一条路。这首诗，描绘的是一个面临选择的人和他进行选择时的心

态，至于选择的具体内锡怎么读 容并没有写出，诗人的着眼点是选择本身。每一个读者都能够

在这首诗中发现自己的生活体验，体味其中的哲理。
