今天上ESL课,老师给我们介绍了一首Robert Frost写的诗。据她说这首诗挺有名的,所有的小学生都学过,半数美国人会背。。但我从来没听过。。汗。。 The Road Not Taken 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; 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. 我的理解是:这首诗是讲选择的。人的一生需要做各种选择,而不同的选择会带给我们不同的人生。大多数人选择的路一般是安全的,熟悉的,平坦的;少数人选了另一条小路,这条路虽然布满荆棘,但可能会带我们进入另一番不同的天地。 选择到另一个国家生活,何尝不是走了一条少有人走的路呢?
