英语名篇诵读 雪夜驻足林边

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

雪夜驻足林边

Robert Frost(罗伯特·弗罗斯特)

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 farmhouse¹ near

Between the woods and frozen² lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness³ bells a shake

To ask if there is some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake⁴ .

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.

我知道林子的主人是谁，

可他的房子在村庄里；

他不会看见我在此驻足，

观林中雪景多壮美。

我的小马一定觉得离奇

近无房舍为何伫立，

唯有林子和冰湖相伴，

在一年中最黑的夜里。

小马把佩铃轻轻摇响，

似问是否误到此方，

田野一片静谧无回应，

只有微风习习雪花飞扬。

树林多么可爱幽深，

但我还有承诺在身，

睡前还有一段路要走，

睡前还有一段路要走。
