Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening[雪夜林边小驻] Stanze 1 Whose woods these are I think I know, /ou/ a 我知道林子的主人是谁， His house is in the village though. /ou/ a 虽村落是他所居之地。 He will not see me stopping here, /io/ b 他不会看到我停留于此， To watch his woods fill up with snow. /ou/ a 凝视他的林子雪花纷飞。 Stanze 1 The first stanza tells us that the man is stopping in front of the woods owned by another person in the village--the village and the owner can both represent human society.

Stanze 4 The woods are lovely, dark and deep. /i:p/ d 林子很美——昏暗而幽深， But I have promises to keep, /i:p/ d 但我已有约定。 And miles to go before I sleep. /i:p/ d 沉醉前还有一段路要走 。And miles to go before I sleep. /i:p/ d 沉醉前还有一段路要走。 Stanze 4 This stanza reveals the woods attraction towards the man as it is lovely, dark and deep. It also shows the mans determination to break away from such aesthetic temptation because he has to take on worldly burdens and responsibilities (promises).
