我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight那口锅后来被清洁工当成废铁卖了十五块钱，王格斯知道后，什么都没说，只是把自己关在办公室里抽了半包烟。他站在车间门口，看着那些银色的机器在日光灯下泛着冷光。它们没有温度，没有记忆，没有那口铁锅被糖浆浸透后散发出的甜腻气息。那口锅是他的父亲从旧货市场淘来的，锅沿上有一道裂纹，父亲用铁水补过，补丁像一道黑色的伤疤。The cauldron was later sold by the janitor as scrap metal for fifteen yuan. When Gus found out, he said nothing. He just locked himself in his office and chain-smoked half a pack of cigarettes.He stood in the workshop doorway, watching the silver machines gleam coldly under the fluorescent lights. They had no warmth, no memory, none of that cloying sweetness the old cauldron gave off after years of sugar having soaked into its iron walls. His father had found that cauldron at a flea market. A crack ran along its rim, mended with molten iron—the patch like a black scar.
