1944年,傅雷发表《论张爱玲的小说》,对张的《金锁记》给予高度肯定。傅是骄傲的,张也很骄傲,好话,她自然是照单全收的。而傅对张《连环套》的尖锐批评,张则在《自己的文章》中兜着圈子,断然说了个不。这也是骄傲使然,不足为怪。多年后,人在异乡,年岁渐老,依然骄傲的张,却好几次承认了《连环套》是个败笔。这就很不容易。我20岁前,啃了许多傅雷译的巴尔扎克,以及《约翰·克里斯多夫》,今天,几乎全忘了。但我仍敬重傅雷, In 1944, Fu Lei published “On Zhang Ailing’s Novels,” Zhang’s “Golden Lock” was highly affirmed. Fu is proud, Zhang is also very proud, good words, she is naturally all received. And Fu sharply criticized Zhang’s “co-encasement,” Zhang Zazhi’s words in “his own article”, stating categorically. It is also pride, not surprising. Many years later, Zhang, who was still old and still proud in a foreign land, admitted several times that it was a failure. This is not easy. I was 20 years old, eating a lot of Fu Lei translation of Balzac, and “John Christopher”, today, almost completely forgotten. But I still respect Fu Lei,
