The Road Not Taken ( 押韻和意義)

這首詩共分為四節,每節押運很工整,留意下每一首句尾所押的韻,會發現都是依照x0xx0這樣的韻型寫成

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 marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come

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.

易於朗誦,因此在唸詩的時候,特別他的音律之美,使人印象深刻

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

這段如此寫著或許是隱喻告訴我們,若能夠堅持著敢與大眾不同的勇氣選擇自己的道路,一直走下去,最終還是會發現一切都是值淂的,事實上,人生所有做的選擇,最終的結果都沒有所謂的必然好或壞,完全端視你用什麼樣的角度、什麼樣的價值觀來評斷你目前的人生。

沒有走的路》這首詩主要的主題,或許可以將它視為人生方向的選擇。

1. How I Dealt with Stage Fright
It was not difficult to deal with stage fright. During last week’s speech, even though I was full of anxiety, I managed to conquer my stage fright. How did I do it? First, before I went onto the stage, I closed my eyes to steady my shaking hands and legs. Next, I forced the hot anxiety in my lungs to make room for what I intended to do. I then took a deep breath to calm down. Finally, I walked onstage with a big smile, and then delivered my speech. After I finished my speech, I saw the audience cheering and applauding. My heart was bursting with pride because I had finally conquered my stage fright.

Several hundred faces stared at me. Some people were giggling, while others were quietly attentive. Dressed in a white gown, I stood onstage. I was one of the six girls in my senior class who had been selected to be a “princess” to represent our high school in a huge, citywide festival. When I was selected, I knew that I’d eventually have to give a speech. In spite of considerable anxiety, I decided to take on the challenge and conquer my fear of public speaking.

Easy English Story


Noah's Ark 諾亞方舟
The Bible story tells that men and women became so wicked that God was sorry He had made the Earth. He looked at the way men and women were living, and determined to punish them by sending a great flood; but there was one good man, and for his sake God saved the Earth. This man was Noah. He called Noah, we are told, and bade him build a great Ark out of wood, with rooms in it for his wife and is sons, and his sons’ wives, with one great window and with a mighty door in the side, The Ark was to be covered with pitch inside and outside, and to be built so well that-it should have room for two of every living thing, with food for each one. Noah, having made the Ark, called two of every living thing upon the Earth-animals, birds, and insects; and, laying in a great quantity of food, he himself, and his wife and his children, with all these other living things, entered the Ark. When they were all in, the windows of the heavens were opened, and the water covered the highest mountains. And in the flood the wicked perished. But God remembered Noah. The rain ceased, the waters passed away, and the sun-light went into the Ark. Then Noah let a raven fly from the window of the Ark, and in did not come back to him. Noah then sent out a dove, which flew terrified above the waters and returned to the window of the Ark. After seven days more Noah sent out the dove again, and this time it returned bearing in its bills a leaf of olive. Noah then knew that the Earth was dry, and when he again sent the dove forth it did not return. Then Noah came out with his family, and on an altar of stones they offered thanks to God. So God was pleased with Noah, and set a bow of light in the sky after the rain.
