张爱玲是“才女”吗

Is Eileen Chang a "Talented Woman"?

以“才女”命名张爱玲,易将对张爱玲的定位引入误区。张爱玲与传统意义上“才女”迥然有别。将张爱玲纳入“才女”之列,等于湮没了张的思想独特性,她不是一个仅凭才情和禀赋从事写作的“才女”,而是具有强烈自觉意识和现代感的自由作家,这与传统意义上的“才女”不同,更与性别无关,却与人格的完整独立和思想的健康深刻有关。以“才女”命名张爱玲,一方面是文学研究中炒作作家经历身世恶习的结果,另一方面反映了研究者对张爱玲认识的肤浅,同时,亦折射出读者尤其是“张迷”们迷张的盲目性。

Misunderstanding about Eileen Chang may arise when she is referred to as ＂a talented woman ＂. She is different from the traditional concept of ＂a talented woman ＂,which may neglect her unique style. She does not simply write with talents but is a writer with a strong self-awareness and a sense of the modern world. Her style makes her different from the traditional concept of ＂talented woman＂ and boars no relation with her gender. Her style is the result of her independent personality and her profound thinking. To cakk her ＂a talented woman＂ reflects the bad effects of the overexposure of her personal experiences to the public, her researchers＇ superficial understanding and her readers＇ blind admiration of her.
