您的口袋中有带钱或至亲的相片吗？有带眼镜吗？别人可以透过一个人随身携带的东西来猜测他是个怎么样的人及对这个人而言，什么是最重要的。1865年4月14日，林肯在华盛顿的福特剧院遭到暗杀后，他口袋中的东西都在这张相片内。

当晚林肯身上带了两付眼镜、一块镜片擦布、一把小刀、 一条亚麻布手帕、一条挂表、一个内有南方邦联的五元纸钞的棕色皮夹及九份剪报。今天，您可能会随身携带其中几样物品，如：相当平常的眼镜及皮夹，但您的口袋内应该没有南方邦联的五元纸钞。


Do you carry money or a favorite photo in your pocket? How about eyeglasses? The things we carry often hold clues to who we are and what's important to us. When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865, at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., he had all the things you see in this picture in his pockets.

On that night, Lincoln was carrying two pairs of eyeglasses, a lens polisher, a pocketknife, a linen handkerchief, a watch fob, a brown leather wallet with a $5 Confederate note, and nine newspaper clippings. You might carry some of the same things today--eyeglasses and a wallet are pretty common--but you probably don't have a $5 Confederate note in your pocket.
