我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing in the Limelight王狗剩不信邪。骨头硬得像他熬了一辈子的冰糖，心却软得像刚出锅的麦芽糖。他站在自家那间被烟火熏得黢黑的灶房里，双手捧着一张皱巴巴的纸钞，翻来覆去地看，仿佛那是一张来自天国的神谕。阳光从破窗棂里漏进来，照在那张纸上，照出毛爷爷慈祥而威严的脸。王狗剩把钞票凑到鼻子跟前嗅了嗅——油墨味，还带着他手上洗不掉的红糖味。这怎么能是废纸呢？这分明是他的命啊。Doggy Wang refused to believe in bad omens. This was a man whose bones were as hard as the rock candy he had boiled for a lifetime, yet whose heart remained as soft as freshly pulled maltose. He stood in his soot-blackened kitchen, holding a crumpled banknote in both hands, his calloused fingers turning it over and over as if it were some divine oracle delivered from heaven itself. Sunlight filtered through the broken window lattice, falling upon the paper, illuminating Chairman Mao's kindly yet imperious face. Doggy Wang brought the note to his nose and sniffed—the smell of printer's ink mingled with the scent of brown sugar that had seeped permanently into his skin. How could this be worthless paper? This was his very lifeblood.
