我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight“祭奠亲人，一个铜板一块。”他开口，声音沙哑得像砂纸磨过生铁，干涩得没有一丝水分。出乎意料的是，那糖竟卖得飞快。那些刚失去至亲的人，眼眶红肿，衣襟上沾着泪渍与泥点，他们盯着那丑陋的、粗糙的黑色糖块，仿佛能从那扭曲的形状里，看见逝者在临终前所遭受的、无法言说的苦难。他们哭得更凶了，眼泪大颗大颗地砸在尘土里，掏钱的动作却比谁都痛快，仿佛买下的不是糖，而是一剂能安抚亡魂的、苦涩的解药。"For the departed kin. One copper coin a piece." He spoke, his voice rasping like sandpaper dragged across raw iron, devoid of moisture, devoid of warmth.Unexpectedly, the candy sold with startling speed. Those who had just lost their dearest kin, eyes swollen and garments stained with tear-marks and mud-spatter, fixed their gaze upon the ugly, crude black lumps. In the twisted shapes of the sugar, they seemed to behold the unspeakable agonies endured by the departed in their final moments. They wept harder, tears thudding onto the dust in heavy drops, yet their hands reached for their coins with a frantic alacrity—as if they were not buying sweets, but a bitter antidote to soothe the souls of the departed.
