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 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 sign 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. 1.What are the rhyming words in this poem? 2.What effect do they have?

For example, the rose could represent love and affection, and the rainbow could symbolise hope. It allows the poet to express a certain mood or emotion in a more subtle way, as opposed to stating it directly. “Two roads ” The choices that we face and the decisions that we need to make . “The Yellow Wood” Represents transition or change, as autumn often does in literature. “Leaves Untrodden Black” Suggest new beginnings or opportunities that have yet to be explored. 1.Why this poem is so successfule? 2.Why do you think the writer looks back on his decision “with a sigh”? Because whether big or small, what all our choices have in common is that they lead to specific consequences. Once we make a decision, in most circumstances, there is no going back. And he was wondering whether he had made the right decision.  Fire and Ice Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice. 有人说火会最终毁灭世界， 有人认为是冰。 以我对欲望的体会， 我赞同认为是火的各位。 但假若必须毁灭两次， 我想我深知仇恨的滋味， 敢说冰的摧毁力 同样佷强， 足以令世界消亡。 Language Points 1.find ourselves wondering or even worrying about possibly the most important issues in our life 发现我们在思考或者担忧人生中最重要的事情 find sb doing sth发现某人正在做某事 find sb done 发现某人被… 2.of one’s choice 某人自己选择的 3.in the face of 面对（be faced with = face sth 面临,面对） 4.take action to do sth = take measures/steps to do sth 采取行动做某事 5.come one's way 意外落在某人头上，偶尔发生在某人身上 6.in place 准备就绪，在正确位置，准备妥当 7.an approach to life 生活方式，生活态度 8.in this aspect 在这方面 9.On/upon doing sth 一……就…… 10.by contrast 相比之下 10.by contrast 相比之下 11.compared to /with 与……相比（在句中做状语） 12.medical practice 行医，诊所（practice在此处意为“医生律师等的工作，业务活动，工作地点”） 13.devote oneself to doing sth = be devoted to doing sth 14.long to do sth = long for sth 渴望做某事，渴望得到…… 15.can't get enough of ... 对……如痴如狂 16.in desperation 绝望地，不顾一切的 17.kill off 除掉，使某物停止，排除 18.be under immense pressure 在巨大的压力之下 19.force sb to do sth = sb be forced to do sth 20.bring ...back from the dead 使……起死回生 21.turn out …… 的发展（或发生）；结果…… 22.twists and turns 迂回曲折 23.take a leaf out of sb’s book= take a leaf from sb’s book 效仿，模仿（成功之人的举止和行为） Lavf58.20.100 Packed by Bilibili XCoder v2.0.2 $$
