Abstract
Context mainly involves linguistic context, situational context and cultural context. In this paper, the writer holds that in terms of oral interpretation, an interpreter is supposed to well adapt to the context, grasp a good understanding of the meanings and functions of the original language and make an appropriate selection of expressions. By so doing, the interpreter may be able to enhance the speed and quality of oral interpretation, and succeed in avoiding erroneous interpretation.
