英語作文:寫給基蒂的一封信
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
親愛的基蒂:
我不知道這是不是因為我太久無法出門的緣故,我變得對一切與大自然有關(guān)的事物都無比狂熱。我記得非常清楚,以前,湛藍(lán)的天空、鳥兒的歌唱、月光和鮮花,從未令我心迷神往過。自從我來到這里之后,這一切都變了。
??比如說,有一天晚上天氣很暖和,我故意熬到晚上11點半都不睡覺,為的就是能獨自好好地看看月亮。但是因為月光太亮了,我都不敢打開窗戶。還有一次,就在五個月以前的一個晚上,我碰巧在樓上,窗戶是開著的,我一直呆到非關(guān)窗不可的'時候才下樓去。漆黑的雨夜,刮著大風(fēng),電閃雷鳴,烏云滾滾,我完全被這種景象鎮(zhèn)住了。這是我一年半以來第一次親眼目睹的夜晚?? ??不幸的是??我只能透過那滿是灰塵的窗簾下那臟兮兮的窗戶看看大自然。只能隔著窗戶看那大自然實在沒意思,因為大自然是需要真正體驗的東西。
你的安妮
