Group work: Post-reading Who do you know is not afraid of setbacks and keeps working hard? “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. You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your life’s 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. regret to do sth 遗憾的做某事 infore sb. of/about sth 通知某人某事 inform sb. to do sth 通知某人做某事 dread to do sth/dong sth 害怕做某事 独立主格结构 宾从 曾经，之前 拒绝 The test finished(=When the test was finished),we began our holiday. 考试结束后,我们就开始放假了。 名词 过去分词 Weather permitting(=If weather permits),we are going to visit you tomorrow. 如果天气允许,我们明天会去看你。 名词 现在分词 . Take for example J.K. Rowling. 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”. for example =for instance 例如 回绝书（退稿信） have...in common with 与…有共同之处 以……为例 stick on把（某物）粘贴在…上 stick —stuck —stuck 评论 对……感兴趣 以……为生 . Nevertheless, she persevered. “I wasn’t going to give up until every single publisher turned me down, but I often feared that would happen,” she later posted. After a total of twelve rejections, one publisher 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. 不过，然而 放弃 turn sb. down 拒绝某人 总共 with 复合结构 . All too often writers of great works have had to face criticism along with rejection. 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. 大多时候 连同 struggle to do sth. 努力/争取做某事 struggle for... 为……而努力奋斗 . 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 millions of copies. 从事，继续…… refuse to do sth.拒绝做某事 . Perhaps the overall prize for perseverance should go to three sisters from Victorian England [who dreamt of seeing their words in print]. This, however, was a time when women were not encouraged to become writers. 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.” 定从 encourage sb.to do sth.鼓励某人做某事 . Nevertheless, the sisters didn’t stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. 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 Bronte’s Wuthering Heights and Anne Bronte’s Agnes Grey are regarded as classics of world literature. In fact, it is within the pages of Jane Eyre that we can find these words: [“I honour endurance, perseverance, industry, talent]; because these are the means 【by which men achieve great ends...】” 强调句，句式结构：It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其他部分 because 引导原因状语从句 介词+which 引导定语从句，修饰先行词 the means 同位语 . 5. So, it seems that talent alone isn’t enough to guarantee success. While a lot of hard work and a touch of luck play a part, perseverance is the key. Keep trying and eventually you will read the words “We are delighted to inform you...” guarantee to do sth 保证做某事 起作用 delightful adj.高兴的 be delighted to do sth 很高兴做某事 be delighted at/by/with 为……而高兴;由于……而高兴 to one’s great delight/much to one’s delight 令某人非常高兴的是 THANKS Lavf56.40.101 Tencent APD MTS 07 Unit 2-2 FLTRP 英语选择性必修第一册 2019 Other 303721.4 $$
