Fire and Ice

---Robert Frost

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 know that for destruction ice

Is also great

and would suffice .

火与冰

----罗伯特.弗洛斯特

有人说世界将结束于熊熊烈焰，

有人则说结束于凛凛寒冰。

欲望如火，体会其烈，

则知世之归于火为我所愿。

但若其必两度遭逢毁灭，

我知恨之极至，

必然明了，毁灭之冰，

同样魁伟，

同样顺人心意。
