必修一 Unit1 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 nearly twenty-five months 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 15th 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, 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 my self. But as the moon

gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time five months ago, I

happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs

until the window bad 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

第一单元 友谊Reading 安妮最好的朋友

你是不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢？或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你，会

不理解你目前的困境呢？安妮·弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友，于是她就把日记当成了她最好

的朋友。

安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是犹太人，所以他们不得不

躲藏起来，否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了两年之后才被发现。在这段时间

里，她唯一的忠实朋友就是她的日记了。她说，“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。我要

把这本日记当作我的朋友，我要把我这个朋友称作基蒂”。安妮自从1942年7月起就躲藏在那儿

了，现在，来看看她的心情吧。

亲爱的基蒂：
