13、 to Inform You. “We regret to inform you.”These are the words that every writer dreads receiving，but words every writer knows well.The response from a publisher comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it，their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence.1You may have spent years giv

14、ing up your weekends and free time to write your lifes work，yet still this is often not enough.Everyone knows that success rarely happens overnight，but perhaps not many know that a lot of highly successful writers have previously faced rejection. Take for example J K.Rowling.When she received her fi

15、rst rejection letter， she decided that it meant she now had something in common with her favourite writers， and stuck it on her kitchen wall.Rowling had spent years surviving on little money， spending all her time writing.When she finally finished her first book，she received comments from publishers

16、 along the lines of “too difficult for children”，“too long”，“Children would not be interested in it”Nevertheless ，she persevered .“I wasnt going to give up until every single publisher turned me down，but I 6 often feared that would happen，”she later posted.2After a total of twelve rejections， one pu

17、blisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book， and as we know，Harry Potter became a global success，with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.3 All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection.J.D.S

18、alinger started writing short stories in high school，but later struggled to get his works published.“We feel that we dont know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher in the Rye.Despite rejections from several publishers，J.D.Salinger refused

20、lions of23 copies. Perhaps the overall 24 prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England who dreamt of seeing their words in print 25.This however，was a time when women were not encouraged 26 to become writers.As the then Poet Laureate， Robert Southey， wrote to one of them:

21、 “Literature cannot be the business 27 of a womans life，and it ought not to be.”Nevertheless，the sisters didnt stop trying 28.Their response29 was to write a book of poems under male names30.Even when the book sold only two copies，the sisters still didnt give up.They started writing novels， and toda

22、y Charlotte Brontes Jane Eyre， Emily Brontes Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontes Agnes Grey are regarded as 31 classics32 of world literature.In fact，it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: “I honour endurance 33， perseverance， industry， talent 34； because these are the mean

23、s35 by which men achieve great ends.”4 So，it seems that talent alone isnt enough to guarantee 36 success.While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part，perseverance is the key 37.Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you.” 译文参考 7 我们很遗憾地通知你 “我们很遗憾地通知

24、你”这些话是每个作家都害怕收到的，但每个作家 都很清楚。出版商的回复回来了，作者急切地打开读了起来，当他们读到最后一 句时，他们的心都沉了下来。你可能花了很多年放弃周末和空闲时间来写你一生 的著作，但这仍然常常是不够的。每个人都知道成功很少在一夜之间发生，但也 许没有多少人知道，很多非常成功的作家之前都面临过拒绝。 以 J.K.罗琳为例。当她收到第一封拒绝信时，她认为这意味着她现在和她最 喜欢的作家有了共同点，并把它贴在了厨房的墙上。罗琳度过了好几年靠很少的 钱维持生活的岁月，把所有的时间都花在写作上。当她终于写完第一本书时，她 收到了出版商的评论，大意是“对孩子来说太难了”，“太长了”，“孩

25、子们不 会对它感兴趣”。尽管如此，她还是坚持了下来。她后来在网上发帖写道：“在 每个出版商拒绝我之前，我不会放弃，但我经常担心会发生这种情况。”在 12 次拒绝之后，一位出版商最终同意出版她的第一本书，印了 500 本，正如我们所 知， 哈利波特在全球获得了成功，售出了 4 亿多本书，并被翻译成 70 多种语 言。 伟大作品的作者常常不得不面对批评和拒绝。捷罗姆 大卫 塞林格高中时开 始写短篇小说，但后来很难让他的作品得以出版。“我们觉得我们对主要人物还 不够了解”，这是写在他的麦田守望者的手稿上的批评。尽管遭到几位出版 商的拒绝，捷罗姆 大卫 塞林格还是拒绝放弃。即使在第二次世界大战期间在美

26、 国军队服役时，他也随身携带了麦田守望者中的六章，并在整个战争服役期 间致力于这部小说的创作。当这本书最终出版时，它立即成为畅销书，并售出数 百万册。 也许坚韧不拔综合奖应该颁给英国维多利亚时代的三姐妹，因为她们梦想着 看到自己的文字被印刷出来。然而，这是一个不鼓励妇女成为作家的时代。正如 当时的桂冠诗人罗伯特 索西给三姐妹中的一人的信中所写的： “文学不可能是女 人生活中的事情，也不应该是姐妹仨。”然而，这三姐妹并没有停止尝试。她们 的回应是用男性的名字写一本诗集，即使这本书只卖了两本，姐妹仨还是没有放 弃。她们开始写小说，今天夏洛特 勃朗特的简 爱 、艾米莉 勃朗特的呼啸山 庄和安妮 勃朗特的阿格尼丝 格雷都被认为是世界文学的经典之作。事实 上，正是在简 爱这本书里，我们可以找到这样一句话：“我尊重忍耐力、毅 8 力、勤奋和才干；因为这些是男人实现伟大目标的手段” 所以，似乎光靠天赋不足以保证成功。虽然大量的努力工作和一点点运气都 起作用，但毅力是关键。继续努力，最终你会读到“我们很高兴地通知你”
