8 Chapter 6 Kitty

Chapter 6 Kitty The day Anne turned thirteen, in June of 1942, one important person was not there. Oma had died that winter. Anne said that her birthday didn't mean much without her granny. But in the Frank family, there was always a lovely birthday party. This year, Anne invited boys and girls. Her mother baked a wonderful cake. And her father screened a movie about a brave dog named Rin Tin Tin.

1942年6月，安妮十三岁的那天，一个重要的人不在她身边。 那年冬天，奥玛去世了。安妮说，没有奶奶，她的生日没有多大意义。 但在弗兰克家，总是有一个可爱的生日聚会。 今年，安妮邀请了男孩和女孩。 她妈妈烤了一个很棒的蛋糕。 她的父亲放映了一部关于一只名叫林丁丁的勇敢的狗的电影。

This was the last real birthday party the Franks ever gave. Anne receive many presents from he family. Books. A jig saw puzzle. A pin. Candy. But there was one gift she treasured most of all. It was a small notebook with a red and green checked cover that locked. On the inside cover Anne placed a photograph of herself. Next to it she wrote: "Gorgeous, isn't it?"

这是法兰克家最后一次举办真正的生日派对。 安妮从家里收到许多礼物。 书。拼图。销。 糖果。但有一件礼物是她最珍视的。 那是一个小笔记本，封面是红绿相间的格子，可以上锁。 在内页上，安妮放了一张她自己的照片。 她在照片旁边写道:“很漂亮，不是吗?”

Anne named her diary "Kitty" after an old friend with that name. Two days after her birthday, Anne made the first entry in her new diary. Every entry started "Dear Kitty." Anne told Kitty everything—all about a boy she liked named Hello, quarrels she had with her friends, books she had enjoyed. Everything. Kitty was a friend who never argued and always listened.

安妮以一位老朋友的名字给她的日记取名为“基蒂”。 生日两天后，安妮在她的新日记里写了第一个条目。 每个条目都以“亲爱的凯蒂”开头。 安妮把一切都告诉基蒂——关于她喜欢的一个叫哈罗的男孩，她和朋友们的争吵，她喜欢的书。 一切。基蒂是一个从不争论，总是倾听的朋友。

Less than a month later, there was terrible news to tell Kitty. On a Sunday afternoon in early July 1942, a notice arrived in the mail. Margot was to be sent to a labor camp in Germany! She was ordered to show up at the train station with her belongings and enough food for a three-day trip. The Nazis had started rounding up groups of Jews for labor camps. Hundreds a day. Edith had thought that Otto might be arrested. But never her daughter. Margot was only sixteen. The Germans had promised not to split up families.

不到一个月后，有一个可怕的消息要告诉基蒂。 1942年7月初的一个周日下午，一封通知寄来了。 玛戈特要被送到德国的劳改营!她被要求带着随身物品和足够三天旅行的食物到火车站。 纳粹开始把成群的犹太人关进劳动营。 每天数百人。伊迪丝以为奥托可能会被捕。 但从来没有她的女儿。玛戈特只有十六岁。 德国人曾承诺不会拆散家庭。

No matter what, Otto and Edith were not letting their daughter be taken away. The only answer was to do what many other Jews were doing. The whole family had to disappear as soon as possible. The next morning at the very latest. What Anne and her sister didn't know was that their father had already found a hideout. It was attached to the building where his company offices were. There was a secret stairway leading to a group of rooms.

无论如何，奥托和伊迪丝都不会让他们的女儿被带走。 唯一的答案就是做其他犹太人正在做的事情。 整个家庭都必须尽快消失。 最迟第二天早上。 安妮和她妹妹不知道的是，她们的父亲已经找到了一个藏身之处。 它附属于他公司办公室所在的大楼。 有一条秘密楼梯通向一组房间。

THE BACK OF THE SECRET ANNEK For several months, Otto and Edith had been getting the hideout ready. Every night they moved in pieces of furniture, dishes, silverware, bedding.

几个月来，奥托和伊迪丝一直在为藏身处做准备。 每天晚上他们都搬进家具，盘子，银器，床上用品。
