What dilemma is the speaker facing?
Reading Comprehension
Read the quoted parts carefully and answer the questions in English. 
”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 the difference. ’’ 

What dilemma is the speaker facing?
【正确答案】:

SINCE WHERE THE ROAD LEADS TO IS UNCERTAIN, ONE HAS TO WAIT TO SEE THE RESULT OF THE CHOICE UNTIL ONE’S LIFE IS COMING TO AN END. THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE. THE SPEAKER ACKNOWLEDGES THE LIMITS OF LIFE, YET HE INDULGES HIMSELF IN THE NOTION THAT WE COULD BE REALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE HAVE BECOME, BECAUSE LIFE IS UNPREDICTABLE. 


【题目解析】:由于通往何方的道路是不确定的,所以一个人必须等到他的生命走到尽头时,才会看到选择的结果。那就太晚了。作者承认生命的局限性,但他却沉溺于这样一种观念,即我们可能真的不同于我们现在的样子,因为生命是不可预测的。
