  SUNDAY, JANUARY 2, 1944Dearest Kitty,This morning, when I had nothing to do, I leafed through the pages of my diary and came across so many letters dealing with the subject of "Mother" in such strong terms that I was shocked. I said to myself, "Anne, is that really you talking about hate? Oh, Anne, how could you?"I continued to sit with the open book in my hand and wonder why I was filled with so much anger and hate that I had to confide it all to you. I tried to understand the Anne of last year and make apologies for her, because as long as I leave you with these accusations and don't attempt to explain what prompted them, my conscience won't be clear. I was suffering then (and still do) from moods that kept my head under water (figuratively speaking) and allowed me to see things only from my own perspective, without calmly considering what the others -- those whom I, with my mercurial temperament, had hurt or offended -- had said, and then acting as they would have done.I hid inside myself, thought of no one but myself and calmly wrote down all my joy, sarcasm and sorrow in my diary. Because this diary has become a kind of memory book, it means a great deal to me, but I could easily write "over and done with" on many of its pages.I was furious at Mother (and still am a lot of the time). It's true, she didn't understand me, but I didn't understand her either. Because she loved me, she was tender and affectionate, but because of the difficult situations I put her in, and the sad circumstances in which she found herself, she was nervous and irritable, so I can understand why she was often short with me.I was offended, took it far too much to heart and was insolent and beastly to her, which, in turn, made her unhappy. We were caught in a vicious circle of unpleasantness and sorrow. Not a very happy period for either of us, but at least it's coming to an end. I didn't want to see what was going on, and I felt very sorry for myself, but that's understandable too.Those violent outbursts on paper are simply expressions of anger that, in normal life, I could have worked off by locking myself in my room and stamping my foot a few times or calling Mother names behind her back.The period of tearfully passing judgment on Mother is over. I've grown wiser and Mother's nerves are a bit steadier. Most of the time I manage to hold my tongue when I'm annoyed, and she does too; so on the surface, we seem to be getting along better. But there's one thing I can't do, and that's to love Mother with the devotion of a child.I soothe my conscience with the thought that it's better for unkind words to be down on paper than for Mother to have to carry them around in her heart.Yours, Anne

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]
