70年代末杨绛因《干校六记》成为名噪一时的散文家;80年代中又因《洗澡》以小说家闻名文坛。若往上推推,五六十年代的杨绛则是位很有口碑的翻译家和文学研究专家。再往上,推到40年代,她还是活跃于抗战胜利前后的剧作家(同时也写过几个短篇小说,但小说影响似远不及剧作)。夏衍说,他1945年从重庆回到上海,看到杨绛的剧本,令他耳目一新。夏衍指的是杨绛的两个喜剧《称心如意》与《弄真成假》,这两个剧本已收在最近出版的《杨绛作品集》 In the late 1970s, Yang Jiang became a prestigious essayist because of “Six Notes to Doing a Good School,” and was famous as a novelist in the 1980s because of “taking a shower.” If pushed upwards, Yang Jiang in the 1950s and 1960s is a very influential translator and literary research expert. Further up and into the 1940s, she was also a playwright who was active before and after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War (she wrote several short stories at the same time, but the fiction lacks far less influence than drama). Xia Yan said he returned to Shanghai in 1945 from Chongqing and saw Yang Jiang’s script, bringing him fresh. Xia Yan refers to Yang Jiang’s two comedies, “Satisfied” and “True False,” Both the scripts have been received in the recently published “Yang Jiang Collection”
