15 A Visit at Last

CHAPTER 15 A Visit at Last Unfortunately, poor health kept Clara from making the journey to the mountain. As disappointed as she was, she did try to do the next best thing. She and her father agreed that sending the doctor for a little vacation would be good not only for Heidi, but for the old doctor as well. The poor gentleman's wife had died some time ago, and his daughter had recently died as well. The doctor had simply not been the same since. When Mr. Sesemann asked if he would go

第十五章最后的访问不幸的是，克拉拉身体不好，不能去山上旅行。 尽管她很失望，但她还是尽力做到最好。 她和她的父亲一致认为，送医生去度个小假不仅对海蒂有好处，对老医生也有好处。 这位可怜的先生的妻子不久前去世了，他的女儿最近也去世了。 从那以后，医生就完全变了样。 赛赛曼先生问他是否愿意去

to the mountains, the doctor said he would be honored. He would take all of the wonderful things Clara had packed for her friends and make sure they got to everyone safely. Clara had chosen gifts for Grandmother and Grandfather and even for Peter. Meanwhile at Heidi's home, the young girl woke up early every morning. She dressed herself as quickly as she could and went outside to wait. She peered down the mountain as far as she could see. This had been her routine every morning for a week now. She was expecting Clara and Grandmamma any day and she wanted to be ready when they got there. But instead of Clara, she heard Peter's whistle. "Can you come out with me today?" he asked. Heidi told her friend that she could not. She was waiting for company. Peter was

医生对山说，他会感到荣幸。 他会把克拉拉为她的朋友们打包的所有美好的东西都带走，并确保它们安全地送到每个人那里。 克拉拉已经为爷爷奶奶，甚至彼得挑选了礼物。 与此同时，在海蒂的家里，这个年轻的女孩每天早上起得很早。 她尽快穿好衣服，走到外面等着。 她尽量往山下看。 这是她一个星期以来每天早上的例行公事。 她随时都在等克拉拉和奶奶，她想在他们到达时做好准备。 但她听到的不是克拉拉，而是彼得的哨声。 “你今天能和我一起出去吗？”他问。 海蒂告诉她的朋友她不能。 她在等人。 彼得是

disappointed, but this morning the wait was worth it. Grandfather! Come, come!" Heidi called out. "They are coming! They are coming and the doctor is in front of them!" Heidi rushed forward to welcome her old friend. The doctor held out his hands to greet her. When she reached him, she clung to his outstretched arms. Then with joy in her heart she said, "Good morning, Doctor, and thank you ever so many times."

很失望，但今天早上的等待是值得的。 爷爷!来,来!”海蒂喊道。 “他们来了！”他们来了，医生就在他们前面！”海蒂冲上前去欢迎她的老朋友。 医生伸出双手迎接她。 她走到他身边时，紧紧抓住他伸出的双臂。 然后她满心欢喜地说：“早上好，医生，谢谢你。”

"God bless you, child! What have you got to thank me for?" asked the doctor, smiling. "For sending me home to my grandfather," the child explained. The doctor's face brightened like a ray of sunshine had passed across it. He thought the young girl would have forgotten him by now. Instead her eyes were dancing for joy. She was full of thanks and clinging to the arm of

“上帝保佑你，孩子！”你有什么要感谢我的？”医生微笑着问。 “谢谢你送我回家，回到爷爷身边，”孩子解释说。 医生的脸上就像被一缕阳光照过一样容光焕发。 他想那个年轻女孩现在应该已经把他忘了。 相反，她的眼睛高兴得直跳。 她满怀感激，紧紧地挽着他的胳膊

her old friend. "Take me to your grandfather, child," the old man said. "But where are Clara and Grandmamma?" "I am so sorry, Heidi, but I have come alone. Clara was very ill and could not travel. Grandmamma stayed behind to take care of her. But they will come next spring when the days are warm and long again." Heidi stood still for a second, allowing the sad news to sink in. "Come along, Doctor," Heidi said. "Let's find Grandfather." The two men became friends at once. They shared the day on the mountain, planning out the doctor's vacation for the next several weeks. As they sat down to a lunch of milk and toasted cheese, they saw a man coming up the path carrying a large package on his back. "Ah, the package from Clara," the doctor said and smiled at Heidi.

她的老朋友。“带我去见你爷爷，孩子，”老人说。 “可是克拉拉和奶奶在哪儿呢？”“我很抱歉，海蒂，我是一个人来的。 克拉拉病得很重，不能旅行。 奶奶留下来照顾她。 不过，等到明年春天天气又暖和起来，它们就会来的。” 海蒂静静地站了一会儿，让自己明白了这个悲伤的消息。 “来吧，医生。”海蒂说。 “我们去找爷爷吧。”这两个人立刻成了朋友。 他们一起在山上度过了一天，计划着医生接下来几个星期的假期。 当他们坐下来吃牛奶和烤奶酪的午餐时，他们看到一个人背着一个大包裹从小路上走来。 “啊，克拉拉寄来的包裹。”医生对海蒂微笑着说。

The young girl's eyes grew bright. "Open your treasures, Heidi," the doctor said. He pushed the large package toward her. One by one Heidi pulled out the items Clara had packed so carefully. Cakes and a shawl for Grandmother, some new tools for Grandfather, sausage for Peter, and clothing for herself. The only thing that made Heidi happier than the gifts was seeing the pleasure on the doctor's face. He truly enjoyed seeing Heidi so well and happy again.

年轻女孩的眼睛变得明亮起来。 “打开你的宝贝，海蒂，”医生说。 他把那个大包裹推给她。 海蒂一个接一个地拿出克拉拉精心包装的东西。 给祖母买了蛋糕和围巾，给祖父买了一些新工具，给彼得买了香肠，给自己买了衣服。 唯一比礼物更让海蒂高兴的是看到医生脸上的快乐。 他真的很高兴看到海蒂又这么好，这么开心。
