雪夜伫立林边有感
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
By 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 hives 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.
参考译文
雪夜伫立林边有感
林主曾相识,
村中有其舍,
未悉我在此,
凝视林中雪。
小马颇多疑,
荒野何伫立?
林边冻湖间,
岁末黑夜里。
小马摇缰铃,
似问有否误,
唯闻飒飒声,
寒风共雪舞。
密林景色美,
信誓不可移,
安眠不可得,
尚须行数里。
解释:
诗人在雪夜里骑马路经一片树林,树林的主人是熟识的,他的家就住在村中。 诗人在白雪覆盖的林边伫立观赏雪景使坐骑感到奇怪,以为他迷失了路。 雪中的森林景色诱人,使人流连忘返,但是诗人却不能停留下来, 他还要继续走一段路程才能安眠。 继续走另有含义,指诗人要完成的工作,安眠指人生的尽头。 诗人说他一定要把要做的事情做完才能最终安息。
