the road not taken英文诗歌读后感

The Road Not Taken“The road not taken” is a poem by Robert Frost, published in 1916 in the collection Mountain Interval, it is the first poem in the volume and is printed in italics. The title is often mistakenly given as “The Road Less Traveled”, from the last second line: “I took the one less traveled by”. At the first, I will translate the poem in my opinion. Following a path, I rambled in a yellow wood. Without my noticing it, I came to a fork of the road. As a appreciator of the beautiful scenery along the way. I am sorry about that I couldnt take the both roads. Standing there for a long time, I selected one and looked far into the distance. The roads twist and turn, until it finally disappeared in the deep inside the wood. Then I turned to see the other one. Because both of them are strange for me, maybe the second one is the better selection. I saw the fallen leaves covering the road. Perhaps it has the better claim and has the more expectations. In the morning, the sunlight shined the roads fairly. No passer had arrived here and leaves havent been trodden. Both of them kept the golden coloring. I got ready to start off. If I can do it, I will come back to visit the first one. But I dont know where I will be leaded to. I doubled if I can come back. In somewhere on my way, I shall be remaining the scene sometime with a long sigh: Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, I chose the one which was more unfrequented. So my life shows different. This poem describes a situation where the writer came to a fork in a yellow wood and faced two roads to choose. At that moment he wished to travel both but he couldnt. Facing this situation, he “took the one less traveled by” and left the first one for future Frost claims that he wrote this poem about his friend Edward Thomas, with whom he had walked many times in the woods near London. Frost has said that while walking they would come to different paths and after choosing one, Thomas would always felt wondering what they might have missed by not taking the other path.The yellow color of the wood is representative of the light, hope, and promise that speaker is standing before. His future is bright and stretches before him. The poem is set in the wood because we get an image of a quiet, deserted place where the speaker is left alone to decide. There are no signs or people to stop and ask foe directions. Similarly, there are no signs in life designed to help people choose their paths. Everyone is a traveler in life. We must make decisions that will greatly impact our destination.

The endless journey was writing for him. In my opinion, the sigh reflects helpless and regret as appreciator, because of the miss of the other roads beautiful scenery. But according a analysis which came from internet, The word “sigh” is a tricky word. Because the sigh can be regarded as a relief or a regret. If it is the relief sigh, then the difference means the speaker feels glad with the road he took. If it is the regret sigh, then the difference would not be good, and the speaker would be sighing in regret. Hence, sigh is ambiguous here for the speaker is not showing whether his choice is right or wrong.The “road” symbolized “different directions of life”. He selected the quieter one. This poem is endowed with abundant symbolic meanings. In the speakers mind, the two roads not only refer to the real roads he has to take while walking in the yellow wood, more significantly, it means two different ways of life when one hesitates before the lifes crossroad. Different choices will lead to different futures. He didnt choose a high-income job like everyone else, but he became a writer. This poem consists of four stanzas of five lines. The rhyme scheme is ABAAB. The rhymes are strict and masculine, with notable exception of the last line. There are four stressed syllables each line, varying on iambic tetrameter base.
