A. 拐入 B. 转弯 C. 消失 Cdiverge: (of lines, roads, etc.) separate
and go in different directions, becoming
further apart. 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。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 passing there Had worn them really about the same. ?the better claim _____:A. the better declaration
B. something better C. a larger sum of moneyB但我却选了另外一条路, 它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂, 显得更诱人、更美丽, 虽然在这两条小路上, 都很少留下旅人的足迹, 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. tread: to walk or step; to set one’s foot
down 虽然那天清晨落叶满地, 两条路都未经脚印污染。 呵,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。 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 The word hence means ______:
A. from here B. for this reason
C. from this time B我将轻声叹息把往事回顾, 一片树林里分出两条路, 而我选了人迹更少的一条, 从此决定了我一生的道路。 1. What does the speaker do when facing two diverged roads? What’s the speaker’s initial response?
2. Describe the similarities and differences of these two roads. Why does he choose the other road? Pair work SummaryThe speaker stands in the woods,
considering a fork in the road. Both
ways are equally worn and equally
overlaid with un-trodden leaves. The
speaker chooses one, telling himself that
he will take the other another day. Yet he knows it is unlikely that he will
have the opportunity to do so. And he
admits that someday in the future he
will recreate the scene with a slight
twist: He will claim that he took the
less-traveled road. 全诗共4节,可分两层:1~3节为第一层,在这一层中,诗人描述了选择人迹罕至的路并不是草率决定的,而是经历了复杂的心理历程。描述了“我”站在岔路口,为不能同时涉足两条路而遗憾。“我在那路口久久伫立”,写出“我”的犹豫和久久思索:一条路平坦通畅,极目可望见它的尽头;而另一条路幽寂荒凉,充满着引人探索的诱惑,但“无限美景在险峰”,“我”终于选择了那条人迹更少的路,就让另一条路留待后日去走。“我知道路径延绵无尽头,/恐怕我难以再回返”,虽然如此,但依然义无返顾。 第4节为第二层,是作者多年以后的感慨:
“我选择了人迹更少的一条,/从此决定了我一生的道路”。这告诉我们,人的一生面临着无数的选择,而每一次选择都会对人生产生重要影响;一个人的一生怎样度过,就看他在人生的岔路口做出了怎样的选择,选择不同,命运就会不同。 I want to teach my students how to live this life on earth,
To face its struggle and its strife and improve their worth.
Not just the lesson in a book or how the rivers flow,
But how to choose the proper path wherever they may go.Teacher’s prayer诗歌赏析To understand eternal truth and know the right from wrong.
And gather all the beauty of a flower and a song.
For if I help the world to grow in wisdom and in grace,Then, I shall feel that I have won and I have filled my place.
And so I ask my guidance, God, that I may do my part,
For character and confidence and happiness of heart.Discussion Talk about your favorite poem with your group members and share the poem that impressed you most. Thank you!
