  SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1942Dearest Kitty,We've been using too much electricity and have now exceeded our ration. The result: excessive economy and the prospect of having the electricity cut off. No light for fourteen days; that's a pleasant thought, isn't it? But who knows, maybe it won't be so long! It's too dark to read after four or four-thirty, so we while away the time with all kinds of crazy activities: telling riddles, doing calisthenics in the dark, speaking English or French, reviewing books -- after a while everything gets boring. Yesterday I discovered a new pastime: using a good pair of binoculars to peek into the lighted rooms of the neighbors. During the day our curtains can't be opened, not even an inch, but there's no harm when it's so dark.I never knew that neighbors could be so interesting. Ours are, at any rate. I've come across a few at dinner, one family making home movies and the dentist across the way working on a frightened old lady.Mr. Dussel, the man who was said to get along so well with children and to absolutely adore them, has turned out to be an old-fashioned disciplinarian and preacher of unbearably long sermons on manners. Since I have the singular pleasure (!) of sharing my far too narrow room with His Excellency, and since I'm generally considered to be the worst behaved of the three young people, it's all I can do to avoid having the same old scoldings and admonitions repeatedly flung at my head and to pretend not to hear. This wouldn't be so bad if Mr. Dussel weren't such a tattletale and hadn't singled out Mother to be the recipient of his reports. If Mr. Dussel's just read me the riot act, Mother lectures me all over again, this time throwing the whole book at me. And if I'm really lucky, Mrs. van D. calls me to account five minutes later and lays down the law as well!Really, it's not easy being the badly brought-up center of attention of a family of nitpickers.In bed at night, as I ponder my many sins and exaggerated shortcomings, I get so confused by the sheer amount of things I have to consider that I either laugh or cry, depending on my mood. Then I fall asleep with the strange feeling of wanting to be different than I am or being different than I want to be, or perhaps of behaving differently than I am or want to be.Oh dear, now I'm confusing you too. Forgive me, but I don't like crossing things out, and in these times of scarcity, tossing away a piece of paper is clearly taboo. So I can only advise you not to reread the above passage and to make no attempt to get to the bottom of it, because you'll never find your way out again!Yours, Anne

摘要:那是个静谧的夏天早晨。太阳已经高悬在明净的天空,可是田野里还闪烁着露珠。苏醒不久的山谷散发出阵阵清新的幽香。那片依然弥漫着潮气,尚未喧闹起来的树林里,只有赶早的小鸟在欢快地歌唱。缓缓倾斜的山坡上,自上到下长满了刚扬花的黑麦。山顶上,远远可以望见一座小小的村落。一位身穿白色薄纱连衣裙,头戴圆形草帽,手拿阳伞的少妇,正沿着狭窄的乡间小道向那座村庄走去。一名小厮远远跟在她后面。 [点击阅读]

摘要:本书记载的是大约四年前发生的事。本人以为目前的情况已经发展到必须将实情公诸于世的阶段,曾经有一些最狂妄、最可笑的谣传,都说重要的证据已经让人扣留了。另外还有诸如此类很无聊的话。那些曲解的报道尤其在美国报纸上出现得更多。实际情况的记述最好不是出自考察团团员的手笔。其理由是显而易见的:大家有充足的理由可以假定他的记述是有偏见的。因此,我便建议爱咪-列瑟兰小姐担任这项任务。她显然是担任这工作的适当人选。 [点击阅读]

摘要:下午,当我和我的随从们听到一个情况后,便决定在将要参加的审判会上采取强硬的态度。我们动身去“法庭”的时候,天色已晚,只见路上人很多。这些人在院子里找不到座位,只好站着,以便能看见我们走过来。我们刚刚走进院子,大门就关了起来。对我们来说,这可不是好兆头。看起来,穆巴拉克施加了影响,而且产生了效果。我们从人群中挤到听众广场上。那里本来只有一张椅子,现在增加了一条长板凳,笞刑刑具还放在那里。 [点击阅读]
