    「sender」是「把信、包裹、訊息送出去的那個人」，中文最常說寄件人。核心畫面可以想成：一邊是 sender（送出的人），另一邊是 receiver / recipient（收到的人）。信封或包裹上常看到 return to sender——送不到時請退回寄件人。跟 addressee 分開：addressee 是信封上寫的收件對象；sender 是真正寄出的人。

core核心畫面

Think of a letter, a parcel or a message as something on a journey. `Sender` is the person standing at the starting end — the thing left their hands and went towards someone else. The word marks direction and nothing more: not who they are, not what they sent, only that it began with them.

可以把一封信、一個包裹、一則訊息想成一趟旅程。sender 就是站在起點那一端的人——東西從他手上離開，往別人那裡去。這個字只標記方向，其他都不管：不管他是誰、寄的是什麼，只要東西是從他那邊出發的，他就是 sender。
