写作对我来说既痛苦又姑息，这是我自己在危机中献血的方式。我只能希望这个单词的保质期比一个鲜血单位的四十二天更长，因为这个关键时间无缝地融合到了下一个。
(Writing, which was both painful and palliative for me, turned out to be my own way of giving blood in a crisis. I can only hope this unit of words will have a longer shelf life than the forty-two days of a unit of blood, as this critical time blends seamlessly into the next one.)
