13 Home at Last

CHAPTER 13 Home at Last Heidi spent only enough time at Grandmother's to make sure she was well and to give her a few of the white rolls she had been carrying so carefully. "I've never tasted better," the old woman said as she bit into a roll. "But the real treat is having you back." Heidi gave the old woman one last hug and promised to come by again tomorrow. Right now she wanted to get home to Grandfather. To be so close and not see him was almost

第十三章回家最后海蒂在祖母家只呆了足够的时间，以确保她身体好，并给了她几个她一直小心翼翼地拿着的白面包卷。 “我从来没有尝过这么好吃的，”老妇人一边咬着一个面包卷一边说。 “但真正的快乐是你回来了。” 海蒂给了老妇人最后一个拥抱，并答应明天再来。 现在她想回家找爷爷。 离他这么近却看不到他，简直

more than the little girl could bear. Heidi climbed the mountain so fast that she reached her grandfather's hut in a matter of minutes. Before the old man had time to see who was coming, Heidi rushed up to him, threw down her basket, and flung her arms around his neck. She kept saying over and over, "Grandfather, Grandfather!" The old man said nothing. For the first time in many years his eyes were wet and he had to wipe them. He loosened Heidi's arms and put her on his knee. He looked at her for a moment and then said, "So you have come back to me, Heidi. Did they send you away?" "Oh, no, Grandfather!" Heidi said. She spent the next several minutes telling him all about Clara and Mr. Sesemann. She gave him the letter and watched as he read it. "He has given you enough money to buy a bed and clothes to last you for many years." "I don't need it, Grandfather. I have a bed

这是小女孩无法忍受的。 海蒂爬得很快，几分钟就到了爷爷的小屋。 老人还没来得及看到谁来了，海蒂就冲到他跟前，扔下篮子，用胳膊搂住他的脖子。 她一遍又一遍地说：“爷爷，爷爷！”老人什么也没说。 这么多年来，他的眼睛第一次湿了，他不得不擦了擦。 他松开海蒂的胳膊，把她放在他的膝盖上。 他看了她一会儿，然后说：“所以你回到我身边了，海蒂。 他们把你赶走了吗？”“哦，不，爷爷！”海蒂说。 接下来的几分钟，她向他讲述了克拉拉和赛赛曼先生的一切。 她把信递给他，看着他读。 “他给了你足够的钱给你买一张床和衣服，让你可以穿很多年。” “我不需要，爷爷。 我有一张床

already. And Clara put a lot of clothes in my box. I'll never need any more." "Put it in the cupboard then," the old man said. "I'm sure you will want it someday." Suddenly Heidi heard a shrill whistle outside. She darted out like a flash of lightning. "Little Swan! Little Bear! Do you remember me? Hello, Peter!" Heidi was out of her mind with delight at being among her old friends again. Everything was as it should be. It was with a happy heart that Heidi lay down that night. Her sleep was sounder than it had been in months. Grandfather got up at least ten times during the night and climbed the ladder to see if Heidi was all right. But Heidi didn't stir. She didn't have to worry about that burning in her heart. She had heard the wind in the fir trees. She was at home again on the mountain. The next morning Grandfather went down

了。克拉拉在我的盒子里放了很多衣服。 我再也不需要了。” “那就把它放在碗橱里吧，”老人说。 “我相信有一天你会想要它的。” 突然，海蒂听到外面传来刺耳的口哨声。 她像闪电一样冲了出去。 “小天鹅!小熊!你还记得我吗？ 你好,彼得!”海蒂又回到了老朋友中间，高兴得发疯了。 一切都是应有的样子。 那天晚上海蒂躺下的时候心情很好。 这是她几个月来睡得最香的一次。 爷爷晚上至少起床十次，爬上梯子看海蒂是否没事。 但是海蒂没有动。她不需要担心内心的燃烧。 她听到了冷杉林中风声。 她又回到了山上的家里。 第二天早上，祖父下楼去了

the mountain to fetch Heidi's trunk. The young girl walked with him as far as Grandmother's cottage, then gave a wave and skipped to the door. Grandmother could hardly wait to tell Heidi how much she had enjoyed the white roll and how much stronger she felt after eating it. Peter's mother told Heidi that her mother would surely get some of her strength back if only she could eat like that for a week. But she wanted to make the rolls last, so she had only eaten one so far. Suddenly Heidi smiled. "I have lots of money, Grandmother," she cried. "I know what I will do with it! You must have a fresh white roll every day and two on Sunday. Peter can get them for you!" "I can't let you do that," the old lady answered. "You give that money to your grandfather. He will tell you how to spend it."

他爬上山去取海蒂的箱子。 小女孩陪他走到祖母的小屋，然后挥了挥手，跳到了门口。 奶奶迫不及待地告诉海蒂，她是多么喜欢这个白面包卷，吃完后她觉得自己强壮了很多。 彼得的妈妈告诉海蒂，只要她能这样吃一个星期，她妈妈一定会恢复一些体力的。 但她想让面包卷更持久，所以到目前为止她只吃了一个。 突然海蒂笑了。“我有很多钱，奶奶，”她哭着说。 “我知道我该怎么做！”你必须每天吃一个新鲜的白面包，星期天吃两个。 彼得会给你拿来的！”“我不能让你这么做，”老太太回答。 “你把钱给你爷爷。 他会告诉你怎么花。”

"No, we need to make you strong. We will get you the rolls! Perhaps if you get strong, everything will get light again for you. Maybe it is only dark because you are weak." As Heidi was jumping about with joy, she noticed Grandmother's songbook. "Oh Grandmother, I can read now! Let me read you a prayer song!" Heidi beamed with happiness as the old woman's face softened to a look the young girl had never seen. "You have lightened my heart, dear child," the old woman said when Heidi had finished reading. "Read it again. Just once more."

“不，我们要让你变得强壮。 我们去给你拿面包卷！也许如果你变得坚强，一切对你来说都会变得光明。 也许天黑只是因为你太弱了。” 当海蒂高兴得跳来跳去的时候，她注意到了奶奶的歌本。 “哦，奶奶，我现在会看书了！”让我给你念一首祈祷歌吧！”海蒂高兴地笑了，因为老太太的脸变得柔和起来，露出了小姑娘从未见过的神情。 “你让我的心变得轻松了，亲爱的孩子。”海蒂读完后，老妇人说。 “再读一遍。就再来一次。”
