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. dread doing sth 惧怕做某事 定从 时间状从 然而，让步状从 宾从，可省略 宾从，不可省 17 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". 以...为例 时间状从 宾从 有...共同之处 靠...生存 对...感兴趣 时间状从 18 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. 拒绝 总数为 19 3All 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. 太多时候 和，以及 努力做某事 宾从 21 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. 拒绝做某事 go on to do 继续做某事 22 4Perhaps 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." Nevertheless the sisters didn't stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names. 定从 梦想做某事 出版 定从 停止做某事 24 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. In fact, it's 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... 被认为是 强调句 途径 定从 25 “And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that addresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal — as we are!” ----Jane Eyre Women were not encouraged to become writers. 5So, 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.
