　　"Good fences make good neighbors", the television commentator said, misquoting Robert Frost for the millionth time in my memory．It made me wonder if the poet was not looking down from Heaven and sadly shaking his head．

　　No line of poetry has ever been more misused in history than that one．It comes from Frost' s great poem Mending Wall．In it he writes of him and his neighbor repairing the broken stone wall that divides their property （财产）．Frost questions why they are doing so, because there are no animals that need fencing in．He sees as well that the wall is a symbol of the barriers （障碍） that people create to separate themselves from each other．He wisely writes that, "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know what I was walling in or walling out, and to whom I was like to give offence （冒犯）．'Something there is that doesn't love a wall, that wants it down'．"

　　His neighbor, however, who Frost describes as a "stone savage" who "moves in darkness" refuses to part from the ways of his forefathers and goes along foolishly with their belief that "Good fences make good neighbors．"
