我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing in the Limelight那天早晨，王狗剩起了个大早。他特意穿上了过年才舍得穿的那件蓝布衫，虽然袖口已经磨出了毛边，但总比平日里那件全是窟窿的破褂子体面些。他从铁皮罐子里抽出一沓钞票，厚厚的一沓，掂在手里沉甸甸的，像是握着一块金砖。他心想，这么多钱，别说买米，就是买下半个米行也够了。他走在街上，觉得今天的太阳格外刺眼。街上的行人神色匆匆，每个人的脸上都挂着一种说不清道不明的焦虑，像是预感到有什么不好的事情要发生。That morning, Doggy Wang rose before the roosters. He put on his best blue cotton jacket—the one reserved for New Year celebrations, frayed at the cuffs but still more presentable than his everyday rag of holes and patches. From the tin can he withdrew a thick stack of banknotes, heavy in his hand, solid as a brick of gold. Surely, he thought, this much money could buy not merely rice but half the granary itself.He stepped into the street and found the sun unbearably harsh. Passersby hurried past with haunted expressions, each face bearing some nameless anxiety, as though they sensed calamity lurking just beyond sight.
