3 Invasion

Chapter 3 Invasion Until daybreak, German and Dutch planes fought over Amsterdam's skies. That morning, the streets were filled with panic, as people tried to find out what was happening. Others stayed glued to their radios. The next few days were punctuated with the piercing wail of air-raid sirens, warning everyone to take cover. The sirens were always followed by the sound of exploding bombs. Anne lay awake most

直到天亮，德国和荷兰的飞机一直在阿姆斯特丹上空战斗。 那天早上，街上充满了恐慌，人们试图弄清楚发生了什么事。 其他人则盯着收音机不放。 接下来的几天里，空袭警报声不断，警告所有人找掩护。 警笛之后总是紧跟着炸弹的爆炸声。 安妮躺得最醒

nights, shaking with fear. Then came the announcement on the radio: "Germans threaten to bomb the city of Rotterdam unless we surrender." Two hours before the deadline expired, the Germans bombed Rotterdam anyway. 900 people were killed. Fearing further bombings, the Netherlands surrendered -just four days after Hitler had invaded. At first, life carried on as normal. But, little by little, things did begin to change. It was announced that Jews had to register themselves. so the Nazis could find out exactly where they

夜晚，因恐惧而颤抖。 然后广播里传来了这样的消息：“德国人威胁要轰炸鹿特丹市，除非我们投降。” 最后期限前两小时，德国人还是轰炸了鹿特丹。 900人丧生。由于担心进一步的轰炸，荷兰投降了——就在希特勒入侵的四天后。 起初，生活照常进行。 但是，一点一点地，事情开始发生变化。 宣布犹太人必须自己登记。 这样纳粹就能找到他们的确切位置

lived. Soon after, the Nazis began to pass anti-Jewish laws. Anne was furious. "We can't do anything," she grumbled to Lies and Sanne. "We have to walk everywhere. We're not allowed into parks or swimming pools..." "I hate it," agreed Lies. They had spent the morning flicking through fashion magazines and gossiping. Now they wanted to go out. But echoing down the street they heard the stamp! stamp! of marching footsteps. A group of Dutch Nazis were walking by, wearing their uniforms with pride.

住过的地方。不久之后，纳粹开始通过反犹法律。 安妮勃然大怒。“我们什么也做不了，”她对Lies和Sanne抱怨道。 “我们必须走到任何地方。 我们不允许进入公园或游泳池……” “我讨厌它，”Lies同意道。他们整个上午都在翻看时尚杂志，聊八卦。 现在他们想出去了。 但是他们听到了街上回荡的脚步声！邮票!行进的脚步。 一群荷兰纳粹分子穿着他们的制服自豪地走过。

The girls hid from view until the footsteps faded into silence. They'd heard stories of what Nazi soldiers did to Jews. "Do you want to come up and see my outfit for Miep and Jan's wedding?" Anne suggested, to break the silence. They raced inside. Anne proudly showed them her new coat and hat. "And," she added excitedly. "I'm going to have a new hairstyle for the occasion." Anne felt that whenever she was with her friends, she had to stay cheerful. Margot,

女孩们躲了起来，直到脚步声消失在寂静中。 他们听说过纳粹士兵对犹太人的所作所为。 “你想过来看看我为米普和简的婚礼准备的衣服吗？”安妮建议，以打破沉默。 他们跑了进去。安妮自豪地向他们展示她的新外套和帽子。 “还有，”她兴奋地补充道。 “为了这个场合，我要换个新发型。” 安妮觉得无论什么时候和朋友们在一起，她都必须保持愉快。 玛戈特,

on the other hand, grew quieter than ever. At the end of that summer, all the Jewish children from Anne's school were kept behind after assembly. The headmistress faced them from the front of the room. "I'm afraid you won't be allowed to return to this school next term," she began, her hands clasping and unclasping as she spoke. "The Nazis have passed a new law. Jewish children can no longer go to school with non-Jews." Anne let out a cry and sobbed into her hands. She loved her school- why did she have to leave? She'd never see any of her non-Jewish friends now. When Anne got home, Otto and Edith did their best to comfort her. "We'll send you and Margot to the Jewish Lyceum," Edith told her. "It's so far away!" Anne cried. "I know, I know," said Edith. "Please don't worry though. We must try to keep our lives as normal as possible. But even loving parents were powerless to stop what was happening.

另一方面，却比以前更安静了。 那年夏天结束时，安妮学校的所有犹太孩子在集会后都被留下来了。 女校长从教室前面面对着他们。 “恐怕你下学期不能再来这所学校了。”她开始说，说话的时候双手一合一松开。 “纳粹通过了一项新法律。 犹太孩子不能再和非犹太人一起上学了。” 安妮哭了一声，捂着双手抽泣起来。 她爱她的学校——她为什么要离开？ 她再也见不到她的非犹太朋友了。 安妮回到家后，奥托和伊迪丝尽力安慰她。 “我们要把你和玛戈特送到犹太学园去，”伊迪丝告诉她。 “太远了！”安妮哭了。 “我知道，我知道，”伊迪丝说道。 “不过，请不要担心。 我们必须尽量保持我们的生活正常。 但即使是慈爱的父母也无力阻止这一切的发生。

The following spring, the Nazis passed yet another law. All Jews had to sew a yellow star onto their clothes, with the word "Jood" on it, the Dutch for Jew. "I'm scared to do anything now in case it's forbidden." said Anne's friend, Jacque. Anne knew just how she felt. That year, the Franks celebrated the Jewish festival of Passover with the van Pels family. Otto and Mr. van Pels worked together, and suddenly it seemed as if the van Pelses were always at the Franks' house- the parents

第二年春天，纳粹又通过了另一项法律。 所有犹太人都必须在衣服上缝一颗黄色的星星，上面写着“good”（荷兰语中犹太人的意思）。 “我现在害怕做任何事情，以防被禁止。” 安妮的朋友雅克说。 安妮知道她的感受。 那一年，法兰克人和范佩尔斯一家一起庆祝犹太节日逾越节。 奥托和范·佩尔斯先生一起工作，突然间，范·佩尔斯一家似乎总是在弗兰克家——他们的父母
