林间分岔两条路，我择人稀那一方。
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by.
— Robert Frost
【English explanation】
This famous line from Robert Frost’s “The Road Not Taken” captures the essence of individual choice and its lifelong consequences. The speaker stands at a fork in the woods, forced to choose between two seemingly equal paths, ultimately embracing the one fewer travelers have chosen. It is not about the road itself but the act of choosing — and accepting responsibility for that decision. Frost reminds us that the paths we rarely take often define who we become, and that courage to forge an independent course is the hallmark of a life fully lived.
【中文解读】
这句出自罗伯特·弗罗斯特《未选择的路》的经典诗句，道出了人生抉择的深刻意蕴。站在岔路口，面对两条看似相同的小径，诗人选择了那条少有人走的路。重要的不是路本身，而是选择的勇气与承担后果的决心。弗罗斯特告诉我们：那些鲜有人踏足的道路，往往塑造了我们的人生；敢于走出自己的路，才是生命最精彩的注脚。
