  1. Creative Writing Week Three Compare two Chinese Translations Paradox Homework and discussion Emily Dickinson/ time and eternity

  2. 羅伯特‧弗羅斯特(ROBERT FROST) 未選擇的路The Road Not Taken http://usinfo.org/chinese_cd/AmReader/BIG5/p535.htm

  3. 黃葉林中出條岔路， 無奈一人難於兼顧， 順著一條婉蜒小路， 久久佇立極目遠眺， 只見小徑拐進灌木。 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; 1

  4. 接著選擇了另一條，  同樣清楚似乎更好， 引人踩踏鋪滿茂草，   踏在其間難分彼此，    儘管真有兩條道。 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, 2

  5. 清晨裏躺著兩條路，  一樣葉被無人踏髒，   願將第一條來日補，   但知條條相連遠途，    懷疑日後怎能回返。 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, 3

  6. 在很久以後某一地，   我將歎息訴說於人，   兩路岔開在樹林裏，   我選的那條足跡稀，   而一切差別由此起。 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. 4

  7. 林　潔 • 黃色的樹林中分出兩條道，        可惜我不能兩條都選。        一人豈能同行兩條道，        我久立而難前。        放眼朝一條道望去，        直到轉角擋住了視野。     再看第二條路，同樣佳美，        也許還有更好的得著，        因它草綠待踏。        儘管那另一條道，        差不多同樣候人踏上。

  8. http://www.oc.org/big5_txt/oc4448.htm • 那日清晨兩條路同在眼前        都是落葉未經腳步踏        哦，下一次再試那第一條吧！       但心裡深知一路通一路，越踏越深，       我疑惑應否回返原地。       我會以嘆息傳告此舉       在許久、許久的未來：       兩條道在樹林中分叉而出，我－－       我選中了那條少人行走的路，       它因此帶來了全然不同的結局。

  9. Paradox Either. . . Or. . . Both . . . And . . .

  10. etymology • Latin paradoxum, from Greek paradoxon, • from neuter of paradoxos contrary to expectation, • from para- + dokein to think, seem 1: a tenet contrary to received opinion

  11. paradox • (logic) a self-contradiction; • "`I always lie' is a paradox because if it is true it must be false“ • Cretan paradox

  12. logical paradox • A logical paradox consists of a statement  which if true is false and if false is true.  Thus consider "I am  lying."  If it is true and I am lying, then I am saying something  false (that is what a lie is) and if it is false and I am saying something  false, then it is true that I am lying.  Such a statement is self-contradictory  It contradicts itself.  Its truth entails its falsity and its falsity  entails its truth

  13. Dilemma? • A statement that appears to contradict itself, for example, suggesting a solution which is actually impossible

  14. A paradoxical phenomenon • http://encyclopedia.laborlawtalk.com/index.php • self-flowing flask fills itself in this diagram, but perpetual motion machines don't exist.

  15. Emily Dickinson1830–1886.   Comprising 597 poems of the Belle of Amherst, whose life of the Imagination formed the transcendental bridge to modern American poetry.

  16. Western canon • Dickinson manifests more cognitive originality than any other Western poet since Dante. • Dickinson rethought everything for herself, but she wrote lyrical meditations rather than stage dramas or mythopetic epics.
