人类困境之中文明力量的彰显--《安妮日记》解读

The Manifestation of the Power of Human Civilization in a Historic Calamity--A Study of The Diary of Anne Frank

第二次世界大战惨烈无比,60个国家和地区、20亿以上的人口被卷入战争,事后留存的文献更是卷浩繁。然而,只有柔弱的荷兰女孩安妮留下来的薄薄的日记,被翻译成世界上70多种语言,总发行量达3000余万册,成为这一时期影响最大的关于普通民众个人生活详实而完整的记录和西方世界反省法西斯主义的重要文献。这部作品记述了在阿姆斯特丹一栋建筑后屋8个犹太人度过的两载足不出户的隔离、藏匿生活,展示了特殊境遇下每个生命个体复杂的性格和人性样态,特别是安妮本人复杂的内心世界及其变化轨迹。时光过去近80年,对照当代特殊的人生境况,期盼安妮和《安妮日记》的“重生”,更加凸显这部名著所具有的当代价值。

The Second World War was extremely brutal,dragging 60 countries and regions and more than 2 billion people in.The contemporaneous literature was profoundly extensive.However,only a thin diary left by a thin Dutch girl called Anne Frank,which has been translated into over 70 languages with a circulation of above 30 million copies around the world,survived to be the most influential and comprehensive record of the lives of ordinary people during that catastrophe and a major document reflecting on fascism in the West.The Diary of Anne Frank documented the two-year isolation and hiding of eight Jews inside the back room of a building in Amsterdam and displayed the complex personalities and human nature under abnormal circumstances,particularly Anne's complicated inner world and its change over time.The fact that Anne's diary still attracts a great deal of interest and sparks a great amount of conversations worldwide nearly 80 years later highlights the contemporary value of this masterpiece.
