参考译文
埃菲透过窗口笑着问道：“今天要苹果吗?”我跟着她走到她的货车旁，买了一公斤苹果。当然是记账，(41)当时金钱是我在这个世界上唯一缺少的东西。她爬上货车，说“什么时候付我钱都可以。”当我们的资金、食物和燃料下降到警戒点时，所有的开支都要降低。埃菲经常过来，还经常带一些礼物：一罐水蜜桃或一些柴火。她还做过一些善举，我们的孩子有些问题，埃菲就出路费让我的妻子去纽约找专家咨询。
(42)埃菲并不是一个有钱人。她的收入来源于她投资的一家室内装饰店，一个月也不会超过200美金，因此她靠卖苹果来补给。但是她总是帮助更贫困的人。
早在多年前，我就有能力还清埃菲时不时接济我的钱。她现在生病了，去年衰老得很快。我说：“亲爱的，这是我欠你的钱。”她说：“不要一次性还给我，(43)就像我给你时一样，一次还一点给我。”我认为她相信慢慢还清爱的债务有一种魔力。
事实是，我永远也无法还清她的债务了，因为她几周之后就过世了。
(44)现在，埃菲给我的钱已经翻了许多倍。但是奇怪的事情开始发生了。无论何时，当我看见有人遇到经济困难时，我就会去帮助他。我没有能力总是这样做，但是在埃菲死后的十年里，我通过这种方式间接地还清了欠她的债。
整个事情中最奇怪的是，我帮助过的人之后也会帮助别人。(45)在那时，我的债务似乎永远也处理不完。因此账目也永远不能结清，因为埃菲的爱会永远持续在那些不认识她的人的心中。
前文提到“on credit”赊账，说明作者没有钱，E项“Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then．”意为“金钱是我当时唯一缺少的东西”，可承接前后文，故选E。
