我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight那一夜，他们用那罐钱换回的，不过是半袋发了霉的红薯。那薯皮绿得发黑，泛着一层死气沉沉的幽光，仿佛是从乱葬岗的坟头底下刚刨出来的殉葬品，一股子腐土与烂根搅在一起的腥气，直冲天灵盖，熏得人胃里翻江倒海。王狗剩坐在门槛上，啃着那块冰得像石头一样的红薯。牙床震得发麻，险些崩掉了两颗门牙。那滋味又苦又涩，像生吞了一把碾碎的黄连，从舌尖苦到舌根，再苦进空荡荡的胃袋里。That night, all they got in return for that jar of money was half a sack of moldy sweet potatoes. The skins were greenish-black, glistening with a lifeless, spectral sheen, as if they had been clawed out of a grave in the potter's field—a stench of rotting soil and decayed roots mingled together, shooting straight to the crown of the skull, turning the stomach inside out.Doggy Wang sat on the threshold, gnawing at the sweet potato that was as cold and hard as a stone. His gums went numb from the impact, and he nearly chipped his two front teeth.The taste was bitter and astringent, like swallowing a handful of crushed goldthread root—bitterness spreading from the tip of the tongue to the root, then seeping down into the hollow of his empty stomach.
