《小艾》是张爱玲在大陆时所写的最后一部作品,也是张爱玲直言很不喜欢的一部作品。它是张爱玲在时代因素影响下试图改变自己思想意识,尝试与社会合拍甚至妥协的一种转变。从连载到被重新发掘再到张亲自进行删节,经历了重要的版本变迁。境内外差异与时代的禁忌等因素导致了这些修改,且对文本释义与版本本性造成改变。 “Little Ai” is the last piece written by Eileen Chang when he was on the mainland. It is also a piece of work that Eileen Chang did not like very much. It is a transformation of Eileen Chang trying to change his own ideological consciousness under the influence of the contemporary factors, attempting to co-operate with society or even compromise. From serials to be re-excavated to Zhang personally abridged, undergoing major version changes. These differences have been caused by such factors as differences between domestic and foreign countries and the taboo of the times, and have changed the interpretation of the text and the nature of the version.
