我写的双语小说《好运的代价》The Cost of Fortune书里没什么特别——无非是赌场、美女、冒险，那些他从小被教导要回避的“西方堕落文化”。但某种东西被点燃了。也许是书中那句“从不沉溺到无法承受的损失，也不贪婪到被好运冲昏头脑”，也许是那种随心所欲的生活方式。那晚，他盯着天花板，第一次觉得自己像个囚徒，虽然牢笼铺着地毯，装着中央空调。The book held nothing special — just casinos, women, adventure, all those things he’d been taught to avoid as “decadent Western culture.” But something had been sparked. Maybe it was that line in the book: “Never indulge beyond what you can afford to lose, nor get so greedy that luck goes to your head.” Or maybe it was that carefree way of living. That night, staring at the ceiling, he felt like a prisoner for the first time — even if his cell had carpets and central air conditioning.
