The Bus not Taken(初写20行诗)
背景资料:我在多伦多度假,一天晚上去和旧时朋友们聚会,结果回家时候晚了。在唐人街等巴士,夜凉如水,更深露重,等了好久巴士迟迟不来,我就决定走路回家。结果没走两分钟巴士呼啸而过真TNND的倒霉。凭借艺高人胆大(主要是自以为跑得快,N年前100米13.5秒)穿着高跟鞋在downtown杂乱地段走了40分钟才到家。 胡乱拼凑just for fun, 感谢各位老师收看和指导!
Waiting in the crowd for a long time, no bus is in sight,
In my right, 2 girls are talking loud in half English and half Cantonese.
In my left, 2 lads look like street kids, so I hold my purse tight,
It is a chilly night without any moonlight,
And this is a street for people of Chinese.
How come the bus is not coming?
Not far away, is the famous Sky Dome.
Some people are telephoning, and some are texting,
Is it the right decision that I am making?
To forget about waiting, and just to walk home?
A few minutes later, without a second thought, I hit the road.
Come on, I am broke, what am I scared of?
In my purse, only an empty wallet and the unfinished Da Vinci Code,
And I think I am still good at the tae kwon do,
And if a worse situation, with my 100 meter dash speed, I can run off.
But 2 minutes later, the bus I have been waiting whizzes by,
I should have worked hard jacking up more vacation fund.
So in Toronto I can be able to afford taking a taxi or riding a bike,
The lucky thing is I arrive home sound and safe, and I,
I wish next year I could enjoy the Hawaiian sun.

The Road Not Taken
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 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 marked 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 in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
赤兔胭脂何处寻,
唐人街头冷森森。
更深露重等巴士,
钱包没水却很新。
巴士不来真没计,
走路回家下决心。
脚底两个大水泡,
长使蜗牛泪满襟。
