《壹條未走的路》是壹首在中國膾炙人口的詩歌，作者借對樹林裏兩條小路的選擇寓意人生旅途中會遇到的種種選擇，無論如何選擇，人生之路在選擇之後就不可重來，因此在人生面前應學會豁達，樂觀和珍惜。
譯文：
深黃的林子裏有兩條岔開的路，
很遺憾，我，壹個過路人，
沒法同時踏上兩條征途，
佇立好久，我向壹條路遠遠望去，
直到它打彎，視線被灌木叢擋住。
於是我選了另壹條，不比那條差，
也許我還能說出更好的理由，
因為它綠草茸茸，等待人去踐踏--
其實講到留下了來往的足跡，
兩條路，說不上差別有多大。
那天早晨，有兩條路，相差無幾，
都埋在還沒被踩過的落葉底下。
啊，我把那第壹條路留給另壹天!
可我知道，壹條路又接上另壹條，
將來能否重回舊地，這就難言。
隔了多少歲月，流逝了多少時光，
我將嘆壹口氣，提起當年的舊事:
林子裏有兩條路，朝著兩個方向，
而我--我走上壹條更少人跡的路，
於是帶來完全不同的壹番景象。

《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 undergrown.
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 even 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 traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
