我写的双语小说《沐于浮华》Bathing In the Limelight钟声响了。不是庆祝，是一把钝刀刮过骨头——沉闷、刺耳、不可逆转。股票代码开始跳动，像心电图上的脉冲，每一次跳动都把人送上天堂或推下地狱。一个秃顶男人瘫倒在椅子上，脸白如纸。合伙人拍了拍他的肩，低声说了句什么，但话被尖叫和咒骂的浪潮吞没了。有人在哭——不是安静的流泪，而是从喉咙深处挤出来的嚎叫，像困在陷阱里的野兽。也有人在笑——空洞的笑，像夜枭在深夜里啼叫。The bell rang. It was not a celebration. It was a dull blade scraping against bone—hollow, grinding, irreversible. The ticker began to pulse like the heartbeat on an electrocardiogram, and with every pulse, men were either lifted to heaven or hurled into hell.A bald man collapsed into his chair, his face as white as paper. His partner patted his shoulder and whispered something, but the words were swallowed by the rising tide of screams and curses. Someone was crying—not the quiet kind, but the kind that came from the pit of the throat, the kind that sounded like a beast caught in a trap. Someone else was laughing—hollow laughter, like the cry of an owl in the dead of night.
