我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing in the Limelight墙上的标语还是那几个大字:“稳定物价,保障民生。”王狗剩不认识字,但他觉得这几个字看起来就让人踏实。米行到了。招牌还是那块招牌,柜台还是那个柜台,就连柜台后面那个胖掌柜,也还是那副懒洋洋的模样。只是墙上挂着的价目牌,变了。前几天,一石米只要五十块。今天,价目牌上用粉笔歪歪扭扭地写着:一百块。A slogan painted on the wall declared: "Stabilize Prices, Protect Livelihood." Doggy Wang could not read, but the characters looked reassuring enough.The rice shop appeared before him. The sign hung where it always hung; the counter stood where it always stood; even the fat shopkeeper slouching behind it wore the same indolent expression. But the price board on the wall—that had changed.Just days ago, a shipload of rice cost fifty yuan. Today, chalk marks scrawled crookedly across the board read: ONE HUNDRED.
