I can well remember / that there was a time / when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers / could never have kept me spellbound. 我记得非常清楚，以前，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。 That’s changed / since I came here. 自从我来到这里，这一切都变了。

…For example, one evening / when it was so warm, I stayed awake / on purpose / until half past eleven / in order to have a good look at the moon / by myself.

……比方说，有天晚上天气很暖和，我熬到11点半故意不睡觉，为的是独自好好看看月亮。 But as the moon / gave far too much light, I didn’t dare / open a window. 但是因为月光太亮了，我不敢打开窗户。

Another time / five months ago, I happened to be upstairs / at dusk / when the window was open. 还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧在楼上，窗户是开着的。 I didn’t go downstairs / until the window had to be shut. 我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。

The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds / held me entirely in their power; 漆黑的夜晚，风吹雨打，雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。

it was the first time / in a year and a half / that I’d seen the night / face to face… 这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚……

…Sadly… I am only able to look at nature / through dirty curtains / hanging before very dusty windows.

……令人伤心的是……我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然，窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗前。 It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer / because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.

但观看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。

Yours, 你的Anne安妮

ANNE’S BEST FRIEND

Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.

Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942.

Thursday 15, June, 1944 Dear kitty,

I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here.

…For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face…

…Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. Yours, Anne
