我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight那些西装革履的男男女女，脸上挂着精心排练的微笑——那种微笑训练有素，恰到好处，像面具一样严丝合缝。但他们的眼睛出卖了他们：那是一双双饿狼的眼睛，在黑暗中泛着幽绿的光。他们像赌徒一样围在屏幕前，盯着那些跳动的数字，仿佛那些数字是他们的心跳，是他们的呼吸，是他们血管里流淌的血液。有人低声祈祷，嘴唇翕动如濒死的鱼；有人咬碎了指甲，血丝混着唾液咽进喉咙；还有人偷偷往嘴里灌威士忌，手抖得厉害，酒液顺着下巴滴在领带上，像一行行无声的眼泪。The men and women in their tailored suits wore smiles that had been rehearsed to perfection—smiles that fit their faces like masks, seamless and hollow. But their eyes betrayed them: eyes of starving wolves, glinting green in the dark. They huddled around the screens like gamblers at a roulette table, watching the numbers dance, watching them soar and crash and burn and rise again in the span of a single heartbeat. Some whispered prayers, their lips moving like the mouths of dying fish. Some bit their nails down to the quick, swallowing blood and spit. Some drank whiskey from flasks, their hands shaking so badly the liquor ran down their chins and dripped onto their ties like rows of silent tears.
