《雪夜林畔小憩》(“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”)是美国诗人Robert Frost的作品,被认为是现代英语的短篇杰作。此诗之难能可贵,在于意境含蓄,用语天然,格律严谨,貌似写景,却别有寓意。 Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening 雪夜林畔小憩 想来我认识这片树林, Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; 尽管林主就住在邻村: He will not see me stopping here 却不会见我在此驻马, 赏他林中漫天雪纷纷。 To watch his woods fill up with snow.
