1. The Road Not Taken (未走过的路)
by (USA) 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 to 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 trod 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 i a woo, and I ----
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
2.Freedom and Love (自由与爱情)
by (Ireland) Thomas Campbell
How delicious is the winning
Of a kiss at loves beginning,
When two mutual hearts are sighing
For the knot there's no untying.
Yet remember, 'mist your wooing,
Love is bliss, but love has ruining;
Other smiles may make you fickle,
Tears for charm may tickle.
3.The Silver Swan
by Anonymous
The silver swan, who living had no note,
When death approached, unlocked her silent throat; Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
Thus sung her first and last, and sung no more: Farewell, all joys; O death, come close mine eyes;
More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise.
4.A Damsel at Vassar
by Anonymous
A damsel at Vassar named Breeze,
Weighed down with B. Litt's and D.D's,
Collapsed from the strain.
Said her doctor, "It's plain
You are killing yourself ---- by degrees."
5.Love's Secret (爱情的秘密) by (UK) William Blake
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told shall be; For the gentle wind does move Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love, I told her all my heart,
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears. Ah! she did depart!
Soon after she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.
6.A Red, Red Rose(红红的玫瑰) by (UK) Robert Burns
O, my Luve's like a red, red rose, That's newly sprung in June. O, my Luve's like the melodie, That's sweetly play'd in tune. As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, So deep in Luve am I,
And I will love thee still, my dear, Till a' the seas gang dry!
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear, And the rocks melt wi' the sun! I will love thee still, my dear, While the sands o' life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only Luve! And fare thee weel, a while! And I will come again, my Luve, Tho' it were ten thousand mile!

1．叶芝 当你老了
WHEN YOU ARE OLD(原文)
WHEN YOU ARE OLD AND GREY AND FULL OF SEELP
AND NOODING BY THE FIRE，TAKE DOWN THIS BOOK
AND SLOWLY READ，AND DREAM OF THE SOFT LOOK
YOUR EYES HAD ONCE， AND OF THEIR SHADOWS DEEP；
HOW MANY LOVED YOUR MONMENTS OF GLAD GRACE，
AND LOVED YOUR BEAUTY WITH LOVE FALSE OR TRUE，
BUT ONE MAN LOVED THE PILGRIM SOUL IN YOU，
AND LOVED THE SORROWS OF YOUR CHANGING FACE；
AND BEDING DOWN BESIDE THE GLOWING BARS，
MURMUR，A LITTLE SADLY，HOW LOVE FLIED
AND PACED UPON THE MOUNTAINS OVERHEAD
AND HID HIS FACE AMID A CROWD OF STARS。
译文：
当你老了，头白了，睡意昏沉，
炉火旁打盹，请取下这部诗歌，
慢慢读，回想你过去眼神的柔和，
回想它们昔日浓重的阴影；
多少人爱你青春欢畅的时辰，
爱慕你的美丽，假意或真心，
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，
爱你衰老了的脸上痛苦的皱纹；
垂下头来，在红光闪耀的炉子旁，
凄然地轻轻诉说那爱情的消逝，
在头顶的山上它缓缓踱着步子，
在一群星星中间隐藏着脸庞。
2．弗罗斯特(Robert Frost)
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (1923)
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
译文：雪夜林前小驻
谁之丛林我已知晓
村中他家难以寻找
他难见我在此滞留
观望林莽银装素袍
我的爱马想必惊讶
为何呆在荒林野郊
左有冰湖右有密林
更在如此漆黑之宵
轻轻振响颈上铜铃
询问是否其中有错
雪夜荒原万籁俱静
惟有寒风伴着落雪
丛林迷人幽暗深远
可我早已许下诺言
路迢途远岂敢酣眠
路迢途远岂敢酣眠
