我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight但这云是空心的。是人造的。是塑料的、镀铬的、里边儿全是空的——用北京话说，驴粪蛋儿表面光。是靠中央空调的嗡鸣声吹出来的，那嗡鸣声像一只巨大的金属蜜蜂，在墙壁里筑巢，永不停歇。是由从未颤抖过的钢化玻璃悬撑起来的——那玻璃太干净了，干净得连苍蝇站上去都得劈叉。是用塑料卡片刷出来的，连同那个转瞬即逝的承诺——那承诺比隔夜茶还淡，比前任的道歉还虚。But these clouds were hollow. Manufactured. Plastic, chrome-plated, empty—all fur coat and no knickers, as the Brits would say. Conjured by the hum of central air conditioning, a hum like a giant metal bee nesting in the walls, never resting, never dying. Suspended by sheets of tempered glass that had never trembled—glass so clean that even a fly would lose its footing and slip. Paid for with a flicker of plastic and a promise here one moment and gone the next, a promise thinner than yesterday's tea, more hollow than an ex-lover's apology.
