Who was E.M.? E.M. 是谁呢？

A woman, I've decided. 我想，应该是个女人吧。

Eleanor. 埃莉诺？

Or Edith. 或者是伊迪丝？

She scratched her initials there 她把名字缩写刻在上面，

so nobody at work would take her cup. 是怕上班时别人拿错她的杯子。

She drank from it for thirty years. 她用这只杯子喝了三十年。

This is the one I reach for every morning. 但每天早上我随手拿的，都是这一只。

Sometimes, when I put it down, 有时候，当我把它放下时，

I think: Eleanor put it down, just like this. 就会想：埃莉诺当年放下它的时候，也是这样的吧。

Old things come with company. 旧的东西，却带着陪伴的气息。
