Unit 5:Using Language Write a poem
Appreciate the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost.
The Road Not Taken
writen by Robert Frost
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.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
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.
未选择的路
罗伯特·弗罗斯特
黄色的树林里分出两条路,
可惜我不能同时去涉足,
我在那路口久久伫立,
我向着一条路极目望去,
直到它消失在丛林深处。
但我选了另外一条路,
它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂,
显得更诱人,更美丽;
虽然在这条小路上,
很少留下旅人的足迹。
那天清晨落叶满地,
两条路都未经脚印污染。
啊,留下一条路等改日再见!
但我知道路径延绵无尽头,
恐怕我难以再回返。
也许多少年后在某个地方,
我将轻声叹息将往事回顾:
一片树林里分出两条路——
而我选择了人迹更少的一条,
从此决定了我一生的道路。

WIND ON THE HILL
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.
And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes ...
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

Frozen with snow.

A MATCH
If love were what the rose is,
And I were the leaf,
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather,
Brown fields or flowerful closes,
Green pleasure or grey grief;
If love were what the rose is,
And I were like the leaf.

配偶
如果爱情好似香艳的玫瑰,
而我好似它的叶片青翠,
我们的生命将在一起生长
无论天气阴暗,或者晴朗,
处在开花的原野,或者花径,
感受绿色的欢乐,或者灰色的苦闷;
如果爱情好似香艳的玫瑰,
而我好似它的叶片青翠。

When I was young, homesickness was a tiny stamp,
小时候,乡愁是一枚小小的邮票,
Me on this side, Mother on the other side.
我在这头,母亲在那头。
When I grew up, homesickness was a narrow boat ticket,
长大后,乡愁是一张窄窄的船票
Me on this side, Bride on the other side.
我在这头,新娘在那头。
But later on, homesickness was a low, low grave,
后来啊,乡愁是一方矮矮的坟墓,
Me on the outside, Mother on the inside.
我在外头,母亲在里头。
And at present, homesickness becomes a shallow strait,
而现在,乡愁是一湾浅浅的海峡。
Me on this side, Mainland on the other side.
我在这头,大陆在那头。
