Then took the other, as just as fair,
然后我走上了另一条，同样好——
And having perhaps the better claim,
它或许更值得一走：
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
因为青草更茂，行人更少；
Though as for that the passing there
虽然说到底，来往的人，
Had worn them really about the same,
几乎把两条路都磨得一样平。
And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.
