Stylistic analysis and translation of Robert Frost’s The road not taken Stylistic analysis and translation of Robert Frost’s The road not taken 2.Lexical-level stylistic features 诗人使用浅显易懂的语言，甚至是传统意义上“不应该”出现在诗歌中的口语如：perhaps, somewhere 之类的词，这使这首诗风格清新，把深刻的哲理寓于简洁、朴实的诗句中。 3.Semantic-level stylistic features Pun: Then took the other, as just as fair Fair 既有“公平” 又有“美丽”的意思。 4.Syntactic-level stylistic features 1).repetition:第一节中用了三个and突出诗人在面对两条路要做出选择时的犹豫、徘徊的复杂的心路历程；第四节中somewhere ages and ages hence,两个ages 和之前的sigh表达了多年后，回首往事时的叹息； 第一节和第四节重复Two roads diverged in a yellow wood表明诗人在回首往事的时候，感慨当初的选择，也坚定了继续走下去的决心。 2).marked theme: long I stood,诗歌中的标记主位通常把副词提前，这里既考虑到押韵，也突出了诗人面临两种选择时的困惑和犹豫。 5.Imagery and symbolism 诗中大量使用了视觉意象：diverged road; yellow wood; undergrowth; grassy road等。 “意象”是诗歌的灵魂，是诗歌独特的表达方式，它能唤起读者的暗示于诗歌中的感情色彩，使读者能沿着意象所指引的方向进入诗的意境。本诗中的这些意象使读者联想到“the choices in life; the middle age; the mysteries or frustration”. “路”是本诗中最重要的意象，这一意象在中西方文化中都经常被用来比喻“人生”。本诗正是运用了这种“意象—隐喻—象征”的写作手法表达了对人生的看法。We can infer from the poem that life is like a journey filled with twists and turns. One has to consider a lot before making a wise decision. Though the diverged roads seem identical, they actually lead to different directions, which symbolize different fate. * 孙梅 The road not taken 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 travelled by, And that
