安妮最好的朋友
Do you
want a friend whom you could tell everything to,
like your deepest feelings and thoughts?
你是
不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢？
Or
are you afraid that your friend would laugh at
you,
or would not understand what you
are going through?
或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你，
会不理解
你目前经历的困境呢？
Anne
Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary
her best friend.
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。
Anne lived in Amsterdam in the
Netherlands during World War II.
安妮在第二次世
界大战期间住在荷
兰的阿姆斯特丹。
Her family
was Jewish so they had to hide or they would be
caught by the German
Nazis.
她
一家人都是犹太人，
She and her
所以他们不得不
躲藏起来，
否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。
family
hid away for nearly twenty-five
months
before they were discovered.
她和她的家人躲藏了将近
25
个月之后才被发现。
During
that time the only true friend was her diary.
在这段时间里，她唯一的
忠实朋友就是她的日记了。
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.”
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
”
。
Now read how she felt after being in
the hiding place since July 1942.
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。
Dear kitty,
亲爱的基蒂：
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 natur
e.
我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故，
我变得对一
切与大自然
有关的事物都无比狂热。
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.
我记得非常清楚，
以前，
湛蓝的
天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。
That’s
changed since I came here.
自从我来
到这里，这一切都变了。
…For example,
one eve
ning when it was so warm, I
stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in
order to have a good look at the moon
for once by myself.…
比方说，
有天晚上
天气很暖和，
我熬到
11
点半故意不睡
觉，为的是独自好好看看月亮。
But as the moon gave far
too much light, I didn’t dare
open a wi
ndow.
但是因为月光太亮了，我不敢打开窗户。
Anoth
er time five months ago, I happened to
be upstairs one evening when the window
was open.
还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧
在楼上，窗户是开着的。
I didn’t go downstairs
until the window had to be shut.
我一直等到非关
窗不
可的时候才下楼去。
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…
漆黑的夜晚，
风吹雨
打，雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚
……
…Sadly…I
am
only
able
to
look
at
nature
through
dirty
curtains
hanging
before
very
dusty
win
dows.……
令人伤心的是
……
我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然，窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗
前。
It’s no pleasure looking through these any
longer because nature is
one thing that
really must be
experienced.
观
看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。
Yours,
Anne

Unit2 THE ROAD TO MODERN
ENGLISH
通向现代英语之路
At the end of the 16th century, about
five to seven million people spoke English. 16
世纪末期大约有
5
百万到
7
百万人说英语
. Nearly all of them
lived in
England.
几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。
Later
in
the next century, people from
England made voyages to conquer other parts of the
world and because of
that, English
began to be spoken in many other countries.
后来，
在
17
世纪英国人开始
航海征服了世界
Today, more people speak English
as their first, second
其它地区。
于是，
许多别的国家开始说英语了。
or foreign
language than ever before.
如今说英语的人比以往任何时
候都多，他们有的是作为第一语
言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。
< br>
Native English speakers can
understand each other even if they don’t speak the
same kind of English.
Look
at
this
example:<
/p>
以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。请
看以下例子：
British Betty:
Would you like to see my flat?
英国人贝蒂：
“
请到我的公寓（
flat
）里来看看，好吗？
”
American Amy: Yes, I’d like to come up
to your apartment.
美国人艾米：
“
好的。我很乐意到你的公寓（
apartm
ent
）去。
”
So
why
has
English
changed
over
time?
那么，英语在一
段时间里为什么会起变化呢？
Actually
all
languages change and develop when
cultures meet and communicate with each other.
事实上，当不同文
化互相交流渗透时，所有的语言都会有所发展，有所变
化。
At
first
the
English
spoken
in
England
between about AD 450
and 1150 was very different from the English
spoken today.
首先，
在公元
450
年
It was based more on
German than the
到
1150
年间，
人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。
English we speak at present.
当时的英语更多地是以德
语为基础的，
而现代英语不是。
Then gradually
between about AD 800 and 1150, English
became less like German because those who ruled
England
spoke first Danish and later Fr
ench.
然后，渐渐地，大约在公元
800
< br>年到
1150
年期间，英语不那么
像德语了。因为那时的英国的统治者起初讲丹麦语后来讲法语。
These
new
settlers
enriched
the
English language and especially its voc
abulary.
这些新的定居者大大丰富了英语语言，特别是在词汇
< br>方面。
So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was
able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever b
efore.
所以
到
17
世纪，莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。
In
1620
some
British
settlers
moved
to
America.
在
1620
年，
一些英国人搬迁到美洲定居。
Later
in the 18th century some British people were
taken to Australia too. English began
to be spoken in both countries.
后来，到了
19
世纪，有些英国人
也被送往澳大利亚，
两个国家的人都开始说英语了。
Finally by
the 19th century the language was settled.
< br>最后，到
20
世纪，英语才真正定形。
< br>At that time
two big changes in
English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson
wrote his dictionary and later Noah
Webster wrote The American Dictionary
of the English
Language.
那时，英语在拼写上发生了两大变
The
latter gave
化：
首先，
塞缪尔
·
约翰逊编写了词典，
后来，<
/p>
诺厄
·
韦伯斯特编纂了
< br>《美国英语词典》
，
a separate
identity to American English
spelling.
后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。
English now is also spoken as a foreign
or second language in South Asia.
现在，英语在
南亚也被当作
外语或第二语言来说。
For example,
India has a very large number of fluent English
speakers because
Britain
ruled
India
from
1765
to
1947.
比如说，印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人，这是因为英国于
1765
年到
1947
年统治过印度。
During
that
time
English
became
the
language
for
government
and
ed
ucation.
在那期间，
English is also
spoken in Singapore and Malaysia
英语成了官方语言和教育用语。
and countries
in Africa such as South Africa.
在新加坡、马来西
亚和非洲其它国家，比如南非，人们
也说英语。
Today
the number of people learning English in China is
increasing rapidly.
目前在中国学习
英语
的人数正在迅速增长。
In fact, China may have the
largest number of English learners.
事实上，
中
国可能拥有世界上最多的英语学习者。
Will
Chinese English develop its own identity? Only
time will
tell.
中国英语会发展出自己的特色
吗？这只能由时间来回答了。

美国英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为美

当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时，他们也就把他们的方言随着带去

因此，
The
美国东南部山
