我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight他忽然觉得，那口锅被卖掉是对的。不，不是对，是必然。就像人老了会死，锅旧了会变成废铁，废铁会被卖掉，卖掉的十五块钱会变成一包烟，烟会变成灰，灰会被风吹走，什么都不剩。这就是事物的秩序，冷酷、精确、不可逆转，就像这些德国机器的齿轮，一个咬着一个，从不打滑，从不犹豫，从不回头。他摸了摸口袋，空的。那包烟已经抽完了。半包烟，十五块钱，一口铁锅，三十年——这些数字在他脑子里转来转去，像一台出了故障的计算器，怎么也算不平。He suddenly felt that selling the cauldron had been the right call. No—not right. Inevitable. As inevitable as an old man dying, an old pot turning into scrap metal, scrap metal being sold, the fifteen yuan from the sale turning into a pack of cigarettes, the cigarettes turning into ash, the ash being blown away by the wind until nothing remains. This was the order of things—cold, precise, irreversible, like the gears of these German machines, tooth locking into tooth, never slipping, never hesitating, never turning back.He patted his pocket. Empty. The pack of cigarettes was already gone. Half a pack, fifteen yuan, an iron cauldron, thirty years—these numbers spun in his head like a broken calculator, never quite balancing out.
