25、。罗琳曾有几年只有很少的钱生活,她把所有的时间都花在写作上。当她最终完成她的第一本书时,她收到了出版商的评论,大意是“对儿童来说太难了”、“太长了”、“儿童不会对它感兴趣”。尽管如此,她还是坚持下来了。“在每个出版商拒绝我之前,我不会放弃,但我经常担心这会发生,”她后来写道。在总共十二次退稿后,一家出版商最终同意印刷500册她的第一本书,正如我们所知,哈利波特在全球获得成功,售出了4亿多本书,并被翻译成70多种不同的语言。Main idea: Harry Potter became a global sucecss after Rowling received a total of 12 re
