19 Good-bye Until We Meet Again

CHAPTER 19 Good-bye Until We Meet Again Is it really you, dear child?" Grandmamma said as she approached the hut. "Your cheeks have grown round and rosy! Can that be you, Clara?" Grandmamma nearly ran toward the two girls sitting on the bench. "Why aren't you in your chair, Clara? You could fall from that..." Heidi and Clara looked at each other and then got up from the bench. The two children began walking toward the surprised

第十九章再见，再见！真的是你吗，亲爱的孩子？”奶奶边说边走近小屋。 “你的脸颊变得又圆又红！”是你吗，克拉拉？”奶奶几乎跑向坐在长凳上的两个女孩。 “你为什么不在椅子上，克拉拉？” 你会从上面掉下去的……” 海蒂和克拉拉互相看了看，然后从长凳上站了起来。 两个孩子吃惊地朝他走去

woman. "Clara! My Clara! You are walking!" Laughing and crying, Grandmamma ran to the girls, hugging first Clara and then Heidi. All at once she caught sight of Grandfather standing by the seat. She ran to him and gave the dear old man a hug. "How much I have to thank you for! This is all your doing! It happened because of your care." "And God's good sun and mountain air," he added, smiling. Clara explained how Grandfather had worked with her through the past weeks. She also described how Heidi had spent every minute of her day finding things for them to do. Clara was having the most wonderful time of her life. Grandmamma couldn't believe the changes that had taken place. They were still talking about them when they saw a figure coming

女人。“克拉拉!我的克拉拉!你在走路！”奶奶哭着笑着跑向女孩们，先拥抱克拉拉，然后拥抱海蒂。 突然，她看见祖父站在座位旁边。 她跑过去给了这位亲爱的老人一个拥抱。 “我真是太感谢你了！”这都是你干的！这一切都是因为你的关心。” “还有上帝赐予的阳光和山上的空气，”他微笑着补充道。 克拉拉解释了过去几个星期祖父是如何和她一起工作的。 她还描述了海蒂是如何花每一分钟为他们找事情做的。 克拉拉正享受着她一生中最美好的时光。 祖母简直不敢相信所发生的变化。 当他们还在谈论他们的时候，他们看到一个人影走过来

up the hill. It wasn't until he got closer that Clara realized who it was. "Papa!" she shouted, totally surprised to see him. Mr. Sesemann stopped suddenly, staring at the two children before him. All at once his eyes filled with tears. What memories arose in his heart. In his Clara's face he could see the woman he had married. Clara had always been too thin, but now she was healthy and looked just like her mother. Mr. Sesemann didn't know if he was awake or dreaming. "Don't you know me, Papa?" Clara called to him. She was bursting with happiness. "Am I so changed since you last saw me?" Mr. Sesemann ran to his child and clasped her in his arms. "Yes, you are indeed changed! How is it possible? Is it true what I see?" The delighted father stepped back to look at her again. He hoped that the sight of her wouldn't

在山上。直到他走近，克拉拉才意识到是谁。 “爸爸！”她喊道，看到他完全惊呆了。 赛赛曼先生突然停了下来，盯着面前的两个孩子。 他的眼里突然充满了泪水。 什么样的回忆在他心中浮现。 从克拉拉的脸上，他可以看到他娶的那个女人。 克拉拉一直太瘦，但现在她很健康，看起来就像她的母亲。 赛赛曼先生不知道他是醒着还是在做梦。 “你不认识我吗，爸爸？”克拉拉叫他。 她满心欢喜。 “自从你上次见到我以来，我变了很多吗？”赛赛曼先生跑向他的孩子，把她紧紧地抱在怀里。 “是的，你确实变了！”这怎么可能？ 我看到的是真的吗？”高兴的父亲退后一步，又看了看她。 他希望见到她不会这样

disappear before his eyes. "Are you my little Clara? Really my little Clara?" he kept on saying. Grandmamma came up now, anxious to see her son. "You have given us quite a surprise in coming here, but I think we have given you a better one." Mr. Sesemann told them that he had gone home only to find that his mother and Clara had left for their visit to the mountain. He thought that it would be a wonderful idea to join them. He had met Peter along the way, and the boy had brought him up the mountain. How glad he was to be there. This was one of the best days of his life. His little girl was actually walking! The rest of the afternoon brought much happiness for everyone. Clara and her family wanted to show their thanks for all the kindness they had received. "Peter, you have shared your Heidi with us long enough," Grandmamma said. Peter had

消失在他眼前。 “你是我的小克拉拉吗？”真的吗，我的小克拉拉？”他不停地说。 奶奶走了过来，急着要见儿子。 “你到这儿来，使我们大吃一惊，不过我想我们给了你一个更大的惊喜。” 赛赛曼先生告诉他们，他回家后才发现他的母亲和克拉拉已经去山上游玩了。 他想加入他们是个好主意。 他在路上遇到了彼得，是彼得带他上山的。 他很高兴能在那里。 这是他一生中最美好的日子之一。 他的小女儿真的会走路了！下午剩下的时间给每个人都带来了很多快乐。 克拉拉和她的家人想对他们所受到的所有善意表示感谢。 “彼得，你和我们分享海蒂的时间够长了，”奶奶说。 彼得

felt ashamed earlier and told Grandfather and Grandmamma about the chair. When he explained how lonely he had been, they had forgiven him right away. After all, this miracle never would have happened had Clara still had her chair. "You need something pleasant to remember us by," Grandmamma said to the boy. "I know. We will give you money to spend each week." "For the rest of my life?" the boy asked quickly. "Yes, for the rest of your life," Grandmamma answered. Mr. Sesemann nodded in agreement and shook the boy's hand. Peter ran off leaping and jumping with joy. "Now, dear friend," Mr. Sesemann said to Grandfather, "you have given us a gift far greater than we can ever repay. Surely there must be something we can do for you?"

我感到很惭愧，就把椅子的事告诉了爷爷和奶奶。 当他解释他是多么孤独时，他们立刻原谅了他。 毕竟，如果克拉拉还在她的椅子上，这个奇迹就不会发生。 “你需要一些愉快的东西来纪念我们，”奶奶对男孩说。 “我知道。我们每周都会给你钱花。” “一辈子吗？”男孩急忙问道。 “是的，你的余生，”奶奶回答。 赛赛曼先生点头表示同意，并握了握男孩的手。 彼得高兴得蹦蹦跳跳地跑开了。 “现在，亲爱的朋友，”赛赛曼先生对爷爷说，“你给了我们一份我们永远无法报答的礼物。 我们一定能为你做点什么吧？”

Grandfather thought for a moment. "I am growing old," he began. "I shall not be here much longer. I need to know that my Heidi will be cared for after I am gone." "That should not even be a worry, my friend," Mr. Sesemann answered. "I look upon the child as my own. We will never allow her to be left in anyone else's care." Grandfather smiled his thanks. "And what about you, Heidi? Is there anything you wish for?" Grandmamma asked. Heidi thought for a long time before she answered. "Yes," she said firmly. "I want to have my bed from Frankfurt sent to Grandmother. That way she won't have to lie with her head downhill and she will be warm enough on even the coldest nights." "How good of you to think of others," Grandmamma said with a hug. "Of course we can do that. And I shall like to meet this wonderful Grandmother."

祖父想了一会儿。 “我老了，”他开始说。 “我在这儿待不了多久了。 我需要知道，在我死后，我的海蒂会得到照顾。” “那根本不用担心，我的朋友，”赛赛曼先生回答。 “我把这孩子看作自己的孩子。 我们永远不会让她留在别人的照顾下。” 祖父微笑着表示感谢。 “你呢，海蒂？” 你有什么愿望吗？”奶奶问。 海蒂想了很长时间才回答。 “是的，”她坚定地说。“我想把我在法兰克福的床寄给奶奶。 这样她就不用头朝下躺着了，即使在最冷的夜晚，她也会感到足够温暖。” “你真好，为别人着想，”奶奶拥抱着说。 “我们当然可以这么做。 我很想见见这位了不起的祖母。”
