Desert Rites
该小说以河西走廊为背景，描写了以老顺一家为代表的西部农民物质匮乏、精神贫瘠的生活画面，以及西部农民对命运的勇敢抗争、对美好生活的不懈追求。《大漠祭》是中国西部文学的典范，体现着西部文学惯有的审美追求。他以新的美学视角，对西部生活进行了独特的观照和抒写，并富有创造性地将当代人的思考溶解于西部社会生活和自然景观之中，使西部世界和时代精神在内质上趋于一致。雪漠以真实而深刻的感觉情绪，创造了他的乡民世界。他以极大的人道关怀热情，为人们创造了一个西部诗意的世界。他在文本中着力发掘生存的真实与苦难的对抗。人的存在本性，在自然生存、社会生存和精神生存中自由舒展。西部情绪、西部风度、西部精神为文本的艺术价值赋予了亮丽的辉光。生存和生命与文学一起熔铸着西部精神的世界。《大漠祭》凭借其极强的艺术感染力，获得“第三届冯牧文学奖”、“上海长中篇小说优秀作品大奖”、“中国作家大红鹰文学奖”等十多个奖项。江苏省委宣传部和甘肃省委宣传部根据《大漠祭》改编拍摄了二十集电视连续剧《大漠缘》。

第二章 86
His heart stirred with thoughts of her, and he wondered how to approach her. She did not feel solid to him, more like surreal, ephemeral, crisp, clear air. As he recalled their bantering earlier that day, warm currents spread through his body. Go, don't worry, just go, he said to himself, to build up his courage. From where she lay, she could surely hear the snores. Her eyes must be staring into the empty night, her fair arms lying atop the blanket. He tried but could think of no other details, and was aroused by the image of her eyes sparkling in the darkness.想到莹儿，灵官的心又动荡起来。真不知怎样去接近她。她仿佛不是个实体，而是一团气，一团虚虚幻幻清清凌凌的气。他想到白昼间的调笑，心里顿时有热浪滚动，并渐渐荡漾全身。去吧，放心去吧。他念叨着，一下下给自己打气。他想，她也一定这样躺着，一定也听到这鼾声。她的眼睛一定也这样望着虚空的夜。她的胳膊露在被外，很白。此外，他想不出别的细节来，但莹儿那双在夜里闪烁的眼睛还是使他兴奋了。The yard was oppressively quiet. Gently folding back the blanket, he was alarmed by how it rustled, sounding in his ears like a raging torrent; his heart was pounding so hard his parents were sure to hear him. He took a deep breath and held it for as long as he could as he groped for his sandals. He stepped gingerly forward, as if on ice; the sound of his sandals scraping against the floor was like a cataract. His heartbeat filled the evening sky. Losing his nerve, he sat back down on the edge of his bed, discouraged. But he was bewitched by the eyes summoning him, and by the crystalline laughter that continued to ring in his ears. With bated breath, he took a few steps and opened the door, making a sound like tearing a piece of silk, but, undaunted, he walked into the yard.院里的静成了一种极大的压力。灵官轻轻撩开被窝。被子的唏嗦山洪般响。心跳也如打夯。这声音怕连爹妈也惊动了。他深吸一口气，屏息许久，才摸索着穿鞋。他迈出第一步，如履薄冰，但那鞋底擦地声依然泄洪一样。心跳声更大，填满了整个夜空。他胆怯了，后退一步，坐在炕沿上。他有些灰心了。但他舍不得他眼前召唤的那双眼睛和白日里响至现在的水似的笑声。他想，也许我太敏感了。他想起孟八爷一次用火柴烧午睡的爹的脚趾，快烧完一根火柴才烧醒了爹，胆子又大了些。他屏住呼吸，走了几步，开了门。开门声像撕裂绸缎一样刺耳。灵官终于经受住了这一声，到了院里。The crescent moon was dim, but bright enough to see blurry outlines. He saw a faint light in his parents' room, and suspected that his mother might be watching him through the window. He sucked in cold air.天上有个月牙儿，虽不很亮，但足以使院里的一切显出模糊的轮廓。他望望爹妈住的西书房的窗户。窗玻璃泛着隐隐的亮光。忽然，灵官觉得妈妈的脸正贴到窗玻璃上鬼鬼祟祟地望他。他倒抽一口冷气。She was in the habit of spying on people. Back when he was a child and they lived in a large compound, he often saw her listening to neighbors' conversations through the cat door. She was a light sleeper.妈有那种窥视别人的毛病。小时候，住伙院子时，老见妈爬在放猫儿出入的洞口偷听隔壁的喧谈。而且，妈很精醒，稍有动静就会从睡梦中醒来。Has she heard me? Is she at the window? He thought he could "hear" her say under her breath, Aiyo, is my little boy really doing something like this? Has he thrown away all his schooling?她是不是听到了北书房里的动静呢？她是不是真爬在窗户上看我呢？他甚至“听”见了妈心里的嘀咕：哟，我的灵官也干这种事？书念到驴槽里了。
