Abstract
As is known to all, translation is a very difficult task. Language must be used in a certain context, so translation also has to be used in the same situation and any translation of text is affected by the context. Only when understanding the original text in context, can the translator better avoid ambiguity, understand the author and make his translation loyal to the original text. This thesis will analyze the Jiang Feng version of Selected Poems of Robert Frost from the context theory perspective, introduce the poetry and translation, and discuss the application of situational context, cultural context, linguistic context, and cognitive context in the translation. Meanwhile, the thesis will analyze the important use of context theory in poetry translation to contribute the practice of this theory and to help translator to carry out better work.

1 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Poetry
As a kind of literary carrier, poetry expresses not only the significance of the text, but also the emotion and aesthetic. Meanwhile, it can be combined with other arts, such as drama, hymns, lyrics or prose poem. Originating from the simple and powerful imagination, containing narrative, dramatic, ironic, erotic and personal forms, poetry is very abstract and hard to understand. Robert Frost, as one of the most famous American poets in the twentieth century, makes lots of beautiful, unaffected and pure poems.
Poems written by Frost mostly describe the rural life in England, such as the countryside roads, agricultural fields and pasture grass. He creates many beautiful poems like The Pasture, Birches, Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, Mowing, etc. The author observes life from a unique perspective, so his poetry is simple but full of rustic feelings, being fond of by lots of readers (Liu Huimin 2013: 111). Full of realism, his poetry is very beautiful and natural.
In 1982, Liang Shiqiu says that Frost is a realistic poet. Actually, at the early time of the last century, Chinese scholars have researched Frost, as well as his poems. In 1935, Shen Tianbao says Frost does not just observe the objects, but tries to get the relationship between them. In 1930, Zhu Fu says Frost visualizes his neighbors’ tone rhythm, so we can hear that from his poems (Cao Minglun, 2013: 72)
