  Robert Lee Frost (March 26,1874-January 29,1963) was,in the estimation of many Americans,the greatest American poet of the 20th century,and one of the greatest poets writing in English of the 20th century.Frost received 4 Pulitzer Prizes(普利策奖).He married Elinor White and had 2 kids.Robert never in truth had any jobs,except being a poet,but he published many poems in his lifetime.

  Frost,although most associated with New England,was born in San Francisco and lived in California until he was 11.Frost grew up as a city boy and published his first poem in Lawrence,Massachusetts(马萨诸塞州).He attended Dartmouth College and Harvard University(哈佛大学) but did not complete the degree.Ultimately,after purchasing a farm in Derry,New Hampshire,he became known for his wry(挖苦的) voice that was both rural and personal.

  In 1912,he sold his farm and moved to England to become a full-time poet.His first book of poetry,ABoy'sWill,was published the next year.He returned to America in 1915,bought a farm in Franconia,New Hampshire and launched a career of writing,teaching and lecturing.

He recited his work,TheGiftOutright,at the inauguration(就职典礼) of President John F.Kennedy in 1961 and represented the United States on several official missions(使命).
