When things go wrong as they sometimes will, 当事情如命中注定般变坏时， When road you're trudging seems all uphill, 当前路峻峭难以前行时， When the funds are low and the debts are high, 当你一粟的存款却面对沧海之债时， And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, 你本想苦笑，却也只得长叹， When care is pressing is you down a bit, 当愁思使你窒息时， Rest is you must, but don't you quit. 请在必要时稍作停顿，但别轻易放弃。 Life is queer with its twists and turns, 生活是一条奇怪的，不停起伏着的折线， As every one of us sometimes learns, 当我们之中的某人在某事寻得顿悟， And many a failure turns about, 便是许多失败被推翻之时， When he might have won had he struke it out; 如果他已然坚持下来了，那么他将有触及胜利的可能性； Don't give up though the pace seem slow- 尽管步履似乎沉重缓慢，但也不要轻易放弃— You may succeed with another blow. 你或能在另一场风暴中飞升成功之列。 Success is failure turned inside out- 成功是失败的另一面—— The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, 成功是撕裂层层疑云的那一线银光， And you never can tell just how close you are, 你永远不可言说失之交臂的苦痛， It may be near when it seems so far; 当它看起来处于最遥远的无法企及的距离时，便可能是它唾手可得之时； So strick to the fight when you're hardest hit- 所以你越是伤痕累累时，越是要去坚定搏斗—— It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. 这便是当事情似乎已然是最糟糕时，你绝不能放弃的缘由。 [图片] 1.

Para. 1 "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.

When she received her first 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 along the lines of "too difficult for children", "too long", "Children would not be interested in it". while - reading 3. take...for example 以...为例 4. have...in common 有...共同之处 5. survive on 靠...生存 27 Para. 2 Nevertheless, she persevered.

J.D.Salinger started writing short stories in high school, but later struggled to get his works published. "We feel that we don't 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 to give up. Even when serving in the US Army during the Second World War, he carried six chapters of The Catcher in the Rye with him and worked on the novel throughout his war service. When it was eventually published, the book became an immediate best-seller and went on to sell millions and millons of copies. while - reading 8. all too aften 太多时候；太过频繁 9. struggle to do sth 努力做某事 30 Best known for: Experience of rejection: Eventual outcome: J.D.

As the then Poet Laureate, Robert Southey, wrote to one of them:"Literature cannot be the business of a woman's life, and it ought not to be." Nevertheless the sisters didn't stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. while - reading 10. dream of doing sth 梦想做某事 11. in print 刊印；出版 32 Para. 4 Even when the book sold only two copies, the sisters still didn't give up. They started writing novels, and today Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, Emily Bront's Watbering Heights and Anne Bronte's Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature.
