同类例句:1.如果你不创收,没⼈能养活你;如果你能创收,下了岗也饿不着你。所以你不下岗谁下岗?——某领导对下岗⼈员如是说。 2.“本商场拥有本次活动的最终解释权”。 军规内容
根据第⼆⼗⼆条军规,只有疯⼦才能获准免于飞⾏,但必须由本⼈提出申请,但你⼀旦提出
申请,恰好证明了你是⼀个正常⼈,还是在劫难逃。第⼆⼗⼆条军规还规定,飞⾏员飞满25架次就能回国,但它⼜说,你必须绝对服从命令,要不就不能回国。因此上级可以不断给飞⾏员增加飞⾏次数,⽽你不得违抗。如此反复,永⽆休⽌。《第⼆⼗⼆条军规》内容提要
第⼆次世界⼤战期间,美国的⼀个飞⾏⼤队驻扎在地中海的“⽪亚诺扎”岛上。这是个光怪陆离的“世界”。⼤队指挥官卡思卡特上校⼀⼼想当将军,为了要达到⾃⼰的⽬的,千⽅百计博取上级的欢⼼。他⼀次次任意增加部下的轰炸飞⾏任务,意欲⽤部下的⽣命来换取⾃⼰的升迁。这⽀⾥还有两个“出类拔萃”的⼈物。⼀个是⼀本正经⽽野⼼勃勃的谢司科普夫少尉。他毕业于预备军官训练队,⼤战爆发他颇为⾼兴,因为战争使他有机会可以每天穿上军官制服,⽤清脆、威严的嗓⾳对那些就要去送死的⼩伙⼦⼤喊⼝令,⽽他⾃⼰由于视⼒不佳,且有瘘管病,所以没有上前线的机会。他为了邀宠上级,飞黄腾达,就发疯似地专⼼训练⾃⼰的中队,求得在检阅中获胜。由于他研究出不挥动双⼿的⾏进队列,被⼈称为“名不虚传的军事天才⼈物”,从此迅速步步⾼升,最后当上了中将司令官。另⼀个是⾷堂管理员⽶洛,他貌似“忠厚⽼实”,可是赚钱有术,以伙⾷采购为名,⼤搞投机倒把,办起了⼀个公司。他⽤⼤批飞机⾛私,甚⾄还雇⽤敌⼈的飞机为公司运输,向敌⼈承包保卫桥梁等等。后来居然成为国际知名⼈物,当上欧洲不少城市的和马⽿他的副总督。
本书主⼈公约赛连就⽣活在这个绕着战争怪物旋转的光怪陆离的世界⾥。他是这个飞⾏⼤队所属的⼀个中队的上尉轰炸⼿。他满怀拯救正义的热忱投⼊战争,⽴下战功,被提升为上尉。然⽽慢慢地,他在和周围凶险环境的冲突中,亲眼⽬睹了那种种虚妄、荒诞、疯狂、残酷的现象后,领悟到⾃⼰是受骗了。他变严肃诚挚为玩世不恭,从热爱战争变为厌恶战争。他不想升官发财,也不愿⽆谓牺牲,他只希望活着回家。看到同伴们⼀批批死去,内⼼感到⼗分恐惧,⼜害怕周围的⼈暗算他,置他于死地。他反复诉说“他们每个⼈都想杀害我”。他渴望保住⾃⼰的⽣命,决⼼要逃离这个“世界”。于是他装病,想在医院⾥度过余下的战争岁⽉,但是未能如愿。根据第⼆⼗⼆条军规,疯⼦才能获准免于飞⾏,但必须由本⼈提出申请;同时⼜规定,凡能意识到飞⾏有危险⽽提出免飞申请的,属头脑清醒者,应继续执⾏飞⾏任务。第⼆⼗⼆条军规还规定,飞⾏员飞满上级规定的次数就能回国,但它⼜说,你必须绝对服从命令,要不就不准回国。因此上级可以不断给飞⾏员增加飞⾏次数,⽽你不得违抗。如此反复,永⽆休⽌。最后,约赛连终于明⽩了,第⼆⼗⼆条军规原来是个,是个圈套,是个⽆法逾越的障碍。这个世界到处都由第⼆⼗⼆条军规统治着,就像天罗地⽹⼀样,令你⽆法摆脱。他认为世⼈正在利⽤所谓“正义⾏为”来为⾃⼰巧取豪夺。最后,他不得不开⼩差逃往瑞典。
约瑟夫·海勒1961年的同名⼩说,该书的主⼈公为了逃避危险的作战任务⽽装疯,可是逃避的愿望本⾝⼜证明了他的神志清醒

1. What does Anne mean when she says I miss the real thing?
She misses the real world, because they talk about the past, present and future that seems unreal because they know aboutthe death camps, so paradoxically they know they may not have a real future. 2. How did Anne feel about what washappening in the world outside the annexe?
She knows it is very bad for the Jews; she assumes most of them are being murdered, yet somehow she still has some idealsabout a possible future.

It is the voice of a young girl with which we can identify.

5. What do you learn about Anne from the diary extracts and from the rest of the passage?
She’s youthful and moody, a bit romantic, optimistic and idealistic although she knows the real world of her time is full ofdangers and likely deaths.
