【正文】 a di ary as most people do ,but I want this diary itsel f to be my friend, and I shal cal my friend Kitty . ”Now read how she fel t after being in the hi di ng pl ace si nce Jul y 1942. Thursday 15th June 1944 Dear Ki tty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been abl e to be outdoors for so l ong that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can wel l remember that there was a time when a deep bl ue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and fl owers coul d never have kept me spel bound. That’s changed since I was here. …For exam pl e, one eveni ng when i t was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until hal f past el even i n order to have a good l ook at the moon by mysel f. But as the moon gave far too much l ight, 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 had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering cl ouds hel d me entirely in their power。 it was the first time in a year and a hal f that I’d seen the ni ght face to face…. …Sadly…I am onl y abl e to l ook at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. it’s no pl easure l ooking through these any l onger because nature is one thing that real ly must be experienced. Your, Ane Fri day, 10 Jul y 1942 When we arri ved at Prinsengracht, we went qui ckl y upstai rs and the hi di ng pl ace. We cl osed the door behi nd us and we were al one. Margot had e faster on her bi cycl e and al ready wai ti ng for us. Al the room s were ful l of boxes. They l ay on the floor and the beds. The li ttl e room was fi l ed wi th bedcl othes. We had to start cl eari ng up at once, i f we wished to sl eep i n fortabl e beds that night. Mumm y and Margot were not abl e to hel p. They were ti red and l ay down on their beds. But Daddy and I, the two “hel per” of the famil y, started at once. The whol e day we unpacked the boxes, fil l ed the cupboards and ti di ed, unti l we were extrem el y ti red. We di d sl ep i n cl ean beds that night. We hadn’t had any warm food to eat al day, but we didn’t care. Mummy and Margot were to ti red and worri ed to eat, and Daddy and I were too busy. FRIENDSH IP IN H AWAII Every cul ture has its own ways to show friendship. On the isl ands of H awaii, friendship is part of the “al oha spirit”. In the l anguage of the H awai i ans who first settl ed the islands l ong ago, al oha had a very special meaning. That is “to be with happiness”. Hawai ans beli eve that once som ebody l oves the l and, they are ready to l ove their peopl e or m uni ty. Thi s i s the second most im port si gn of fri endshi p. It is cal ed l okahi in H awaiian l anguage, which means “oneness with al peopl e”. To enjoy the l and you shoul d not be sel fish. The l and i s for everyone who li ves on i t. Today m any di ferent peopl e cal H awai i thei r hom e. Indeed, H awai i s a pl ace where peopl e m ake one bi g m uni ty from many sm al ler m uni ties. Each person gi ves kokua (hel p) to other peopl e so that al fel stronger. It’s believed that the isl ands can be a paradise when the peopl e l ive in peace. Peopl e are tol d that thei r actions shoul d be as gentl e as the wi nd that bl ows from the sea. When probl em s happen, people are asked to sol ve them wi th understandi ng. So when peopl e of H awai tal k about ohana (fam il y), they are real y tal ki ng about al those who l ive on the i sl ands. Li vi ng i n peace, H awai ans have devel oped a thi rd sign of fri endshi p. This personal fri endshi p i s shown by gi vi ng l ei s to one another. The li e, a string of fl owers, is put over a friend’s neck. Then the friend is given a kiss on cheek. Visitors to the islands are al so gi ven lies. When they hear al oha, visitors begin to feel at home. Al oha al so means “goodbye”, so visitors wil hear it again when they l eave. It can al so mean “our hearts singing together”. Perhaps this is how most visitors wil l rem em ber their new fri endshi p. Uni t 2 TH E RO AD TO MO DERN EN GLISH At the end of the 16th century, about fi ve to seven mil li on peopl e spoke Engl ish. N earl y al l of them l i ved in Engl and.
