我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight"消费者，"他说，声音里带上了布道的腔调，"不需要惊喜。这是艺术家们对自己撒的最大的谎——他们以为世界渴望新的、意外的、前所未见的东西。不。世界渴望的是确定。世界渴望的是已知。世界渴望的是这样一种保证：明天和今天一模一样，后天和明天一模一样。"他以近乎仪式的精确，把那颗糖放回原处。"今天买的糖是这个味道。明天买的糖还是这个味道。十年后买的糖——十年，你听好了——还是这个味道。不是差不多。不是八九不离十。是分毫不差。""Consumers," he said, and here his voice took on the quality of a sermon, "do not want surprises. This is the great lie that artists tell themselves—that the world craves the new, the unexpected, the unprecedented. It does not. The world craves certainty. The world craves the known. The world craves the assurance that tomorrow will be exactly like today, and that the day after that will be exactly like tomorrow."He set the candy down with ceremonial precision."The candy they buy today tastes this way. The candy they buy tomorrow will taste the same. And the candy they buy ten years from now—ten years, mind you—will taste exactly the same. Not almost the same. Not close enough. Exactly the same."
