张爱玲研究的死胡同——论夏志清先生对张爱玲的“捧杀”

Blind Alley of Zhang Ailing Research: Mr. Xia Zhiqing’s Excessive Flattery on Zhang Ailing

夏志清先生的张爱玲论,自有他的机遇和贡献;然而,他对张爱玲的过分溢美甚至吹捧,特别是他对《秧歌》、《赤地之恋》等"反共反华"坏作品的廉价吹捧,已经产生了十分恶劣的影响。夏先生对张爱玲所做的,正是"捧杀"——这大概是夏先生始料所不及的。

Mr. Xia’s remark on Zhang Ailing has its reasons and value. However,the excessive admiration and cheap flattery,especially on her The Yangge Dance and Love of the Red Land,have brought about very bad influence. This is none other than killing by flattery.
