　　***一***

　　Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

　　黃色的樹林裡分出兩條路，

　　And sorry I could not travel both

　　可惜我不能同時去涉足，

　　And be one traveler, long I stood

　　我在那路口久久佇立，

　　And looked down one as far as I could

　　我向著一條路極目望去，

　　To where it bent in the undergrowth;

　　直到它消失在叢林深處。

　　Then took the other, as just as fair,

　　但我卻選了另外一條路，

　　And having perhaps the better claim,

　　它黃草萋萋，十分幽寂，

　　Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

　　顯得更誘人、更美麗;

　　Though as for that the passing there

　　雖然在這條小路上，

　　Had worn them really about the same,

　　很少留下旅人的足跡。

　　And both that morning equally lay

　　那天清晨落地滿地，

　　In leaves no step had trodden black.

　　兩條路都未經腳印汙染。

　　Oh, I kept the first for another day!

　　啊，留下一條路等改日再見!

　　Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

　　但我知道路徑延綿無盡頭，

　　I doubted if I should ever come back.

　　恐怕我難以再回返。

　　I shall be telling this with a sigh

　　也許多少年後在某個地方，

　　Somewhere ages and ages hence:

　　我將輕聲嘆息將往事回顧：

　　Two roads diverged in a wood, and I

　　一片樹林裡分出兩條路

　　I took the one less traveled by,

　　而我選擇了人跡更少的一條，

　　And that has made all the difference.

　　從此決定了我一生的道路。

　　***二***

　　第一節

　　O wild West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being,

　　Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead

　　Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,

　　哦，狂暴的西風，秋之生命的呼吸!

　　你無形，但枯死的落葉被你橫掃，

　　有如鬼魅碰到了巫師，紛紛逃避：

　　Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,

　　Pestilence-stricken multitudes: O thou,

　　Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed

　　黃的，黑的，灰的，紅得像患肺癆，

　　呵，重染疫癘的一群：西風呵，是你

　　以車駕把有翼的種子催送到

　　The winged seeds, where they lie cold and low,

　　Each like a corpse within its grave, until

　　Thine azure sister of the Spring shall blow

　　黑暗的冬床上，它們就躺在那裡，

　　像是墓中的死穴，冰冷，深藏，低賤，

　　直等到春天，你碧空的姊妹吹起

　　Her clarion o'er the dreaming earth, and fill

　　***Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air***

　　With living hues and odours plain and hill:

　　她的喇叭，在沉睡的大地上響遍，

　　***喚出嫩芽，像羊群一樣，覓食空中***

　　將色和香充滿了山峰和平原。

　　Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere;

　　Destroyer and preserver; hear, oh hear!

　　不羈的精靈呵，你無處不遠行;

　　破壞者兼保護者：聽吧，你且聆聽!

　　Ⅱ

　　第二節

　　Thou on whose stream, mid the steep sky's commotion,

　　Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed,

　　Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean,

　　沒入你的急流，當高空一片混亂，

　　流雲象大地的枯葉一樣被撕扯

　　脫離天空和海洋的糾纏的枝幹。

　　Angels of rain and lightning: there are spread

　　On the blue surface of thine a{:e}ry surge,

　　Like the bright hair uplifted from the head

　　成為雨和電的使者：它們飄落

　　在你的磅礴之氣的蔚藍的波面，

　　有如狂女的飄揚的頭髮在閃爍，

　　Of some fierce Maenad, even from the dim verge

　　Of the horizon to the zenith's height,

　　The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge

　　從天穹的最遙遠而模糊的邊沿

　　直抵九霄的中天，到處都在搖曳

　　欲來雷雨的捲髮，對瀕死的一年

　　Of the dying year, to which this closing night

　　Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre,

　　Vaulted with all thy congregated might

　　你唱出了葬歌，而這密集的黑夜

　　將成為它廣大墓陵的一座圓頂，

　　裡面正有你的萬鈞之力的凝結;

　　Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere

　　Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst: oh hear!

　　那是你的渾然之氣，從它會迸湧

　　黑色的雨，冰雹和火焰：哦，你聽!

　　Ⅲ

　　第三節

　　Thou who didst waken from his summer dreams

　　The blue Mediterranean, where he lay,

　　Lull'd by the coil of his cryst{`a}lline streams,

　　是你，你將藍色的地中海喚醒，

　　而它曾經昏睡了一整個夏天，

　　被澄澈水流的迴旋催眠入夢，

　　Beside a pumice isle in Baiae's bay,

　　And saw in sleep old palaces and towers

　　Quivering within the wave's intenser day,

　　就在巴亞海灣的一個浮石島邊，

　　它夢見了古老的宮殿和樓閣

　　在水天輝映的波影裡抖顫，

　　All overgrown with azure moss and flowers

　　So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou

　　For whose path the Atlantic's level powers

　　而且都生滿青苔、開滿花朵，

　　那芬芳真迷人慾醉!呵，為了給你

　　讓一條路，大西洋的洶湧的浪波

　　Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below

　　The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear

　　The sapless foliage of the ocean, know

　　把自己向兩邊劈開，而深在淵底

　　那海洋中的花草和泥汙的森林

　　雖然枝葉扶疏，卻沒有精力;

　　Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear,

　　And tremble and despoil themselves: oh hear!

　　聽到你的聲音，它們已嚇得發青：

　　一邊顫慄，一邊自動萎縮：哦，你聽!

　　Ⅳ

　　第四節

　　If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;

　　If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;

　　A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share

　　哎，假如我是一片枯葉被你浮起，

　　假如我是能和你飛跑的雲霧，

　　是一個波浪，和你的威力同喘息，

　　The impulse of thy strength, only less free

　　Than thou, O uncontrollable! If even

　　I were as in my boyhood, and could be

　　假如我分有你的脈搏，僅僅不如

　　你那麼自由，哦，無法約束的生命!

　　假如我能像在少年時，凌風而舞

　　The comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven,

　　As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed

　　Scarce seem'd a vision; I would ne'er have striven

　　便成了你的伴侶，悠遊天空

　　***因為呵，那時候，要想追你上雲霄，

　　似乎並非夢幻***，我就不致像如今

　　As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.

　　Oh, lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!

　　I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!

　　這樣焦躁地要和你爭相祈禱。

　　哦，舉起我吧，當我是水波、樹葉、浮雲!

　　我跌在生活底荊棘上，我流血了!

　　A heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd

　　One too like thee: tameless, and swift, and proud.

　　這被歲月的重軛所制服的生命

　　原是和你一樣：驕傲、輕捷而不馴。

　　Ⅴ

　　第五節

　　Make me thy lyre, even as the forest is:

　　What if my leaves are falling like its own!

　　The tumult of thy mighty harmonies

　　把我當作你的豎琴吧，有如樹林：

　　儘管我的葉落了，那有什麼關係!

　　你巨大的合奏所振起的音樂

　　Will take from both a deep, autumnal tone,

　　Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,

　　My spirit! Be thou me, impetuous one!

　　將染有樹林和我的深邃的秋意：

　　雖憂傷而甜蜜。呵，但願你給予我

　　狂暴的精神!奮勇者呵，讓我們合一!

　　Drive my dead thoughts over the universe

　　Like wither'd leaves to quicken a new birth!

　　And, by the incantation of this verse,

　　請把我枯死的思想向世界吹落，

　　讓它像枯葉一樣促成新的生命!

　　哦，請聽從這一篇符咒似的詩歌，

　　Scatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth

　　Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!

　　Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth

　　就把我的話語，像是灰燼和火星

　　從還未熄滅的爐火向人間播散!

　　讓預言的喇叭通過我的嘴脣

　　The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,

　　If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

　　把昏睡的大地喚醒吧!西風啊，

　　如果冬天來了,春天還會遠嗎?

　　***三***
