Hi Ray,
Thanks again for taking the apartment. I left a few things that may be useful. The small fridge in the kitchen is only two years old and still works well. There is also a wooden tray on top of it and a clean tablecloth in the second drawer.
The tool kit under the sink belongs to the building, so please leave it there when you move out. The knob on the back-room door sticks a little, but a drop of oil will fix it.
My key is with the guard downstairs. Call me if anything is missing.
Best,
Ellen
嗨,雷:
再次謝謝你承租這間公寓。我留了幾樣可能用得上的東西。廚房那台小冰箱才用兩年,還很好用。冰箱上面還有一個木製托盤,第二層抽屜裡有一條乾淨的桌巾。
水槽下面那組工具是大樓的財產,所以你搬走時請留在原處。後房門的球形把手有點卡,滴一滴油就解決了。
我的鑰匙放在樓下警衛那裡。如果少了什麼東西,打電話給我。
祝好
艾倫

The paper handkerchief was invented by accident. During the First World War one company made a soft paper to replace cotton in bandages. When the war ended, boxes of the material lay unused in a warehouse.
In the 1920s the firm sold it to women for removing face cream. Buyers, however, kept writing to say that they used the tissue for something else: they blew their noses into it and threw it away.
The company listened, changed its advertisements, and sales rose sharply. Today the paper handkerchief is sold in almost every country, and few users know it was first designed for a battlefield.
紙手帕是意外誕生的。第一次世界大戰期間,某家公司做出一種柔軟的紙,用來取代繃帶裡的棉花。戰爭結束後,一箱箱的材料就閒置在倉庫裡。
一九二○年代,這家公司把它賣給女性用來卸除面霜。然而,購買者不斷來信表示,她們把這種面紙拿來做別的事:擤鼻涕,然後丟掉。
公司聽進去了,改變了廣告內容,銷量因此大幅上升。今天,紙手帕幾乎在每個國家都買得到,卻很少有人知道它最早是為戰場設計的。
