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.

安妮最好的朋友你想要一个你能告诉你一切的朋友吗，比如你最深的感情和想法？或者你害怕你的朋友会嘲笑你，或者不理解你正在经历什么？安妮·弗兰克想要第一种，所以她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。她的家人在被发现的近25个月前就已经是犹太人了。在那段时间里，唯一真正的朋友是她的日记。她说，“我不想像大多数人那样在日记中写下一系列的事实，但我希望这本日记本身能成为我的朋友，我会打电话给我的朋友凯蒂。”现在来看看她自1942年7月以来一直在藏身之处的感受。亲爱的凯蒂，我想知道是不是因为我很久没能在户外了，所以我对所有与自然有关的事情都太疯狂了。我清楚地记得，曾经有一段时间，一片深蓝色的天空，鸟儿的歌声，月光和花朵的歌声，永远不会让我着迷。自从我在这里以来，情况已经改变了。例如，有一个晚上，天气很暖和，我故意一直醒到11点半，以便自己好好看看月亮。
