【引自侯捷網站的"引言"】 美國詩人 羅勃.佛洛斯特：沒有走的路 Robert Frost's known poem: The Road Not Taken 黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood, 只可惜我不能都踏行。And sorry I could not travel both 我，單獨的旅人，佇立良久，And be one traveler, long I stood 極目眺望一條路的盡頭，And looked down one as far as I could 看它隱沒在叢林深處。To where it bent in the undergrowth; 於是我選擇了另一條路，Then took the other, as just as fair, 一樣平直，也許更值得，And having perhaps the better claim, 因為青草茵茵，還未被踏過，Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 若有過往人蹤，Had worn them really about the same, 路的狀況會相差無幾。Though as for that the passing there 那天早晨，兩條路都覆蓋在枯葉下，And both that morning equally lay 沒有踐踏的污痕：In leaves no step had trodden black. 啊，原先那條路留給另一天吧！Oh, I kept the first for another day! 明知一條路會引出另一條路，Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 我懷疑我是否會回到原處。I doubted if I should ever come back 在許多許多年以後，在某處，I shall be telling this with a sigh 我會輕輕歎息說：Somewhere ages and ages hence: 黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，而我，Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- 我選擇了較少人跡的一條，I took the one less traveled by, 使得一切多麼地不同。And that has made all the difference Greek philosopher Thucydides : A man who has the knowledge but lacks the power to clearly express himself is no better off than if he had never any idea at all. 希臘哲人"修昔底德": 知之者無法闡述其道 猶如不知者不聞其道 (xinyi譯)
