What setbacks have you encountered in your life? Activity 2 What is the key message of the poem? The poem is all about perseverance, determination and willpower. Never give up especially when things go wrong. It reminds us that there are elements of success within every failure, so we mustn't quit whatever difficulties we may encounter in life. Activity 2 2. Why do we feel like quitting? 【Which of life's difficulties are mentioned in the poem? 】 Things sometimes go wrong; the road seems all uphill: the funds are low and the debts are high. Activity 2 3. What is your understanding of the line “Success is failure turned inside out”? Within each failure are lessons that must be learnt in order to succeed. On the road to success, you have to experience failure first. In other words “failure is the mother of success.” Don’t quit When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest, if you must, but don't you quit. 不要放弃 当事情常常不如人意时， 当眼前的道路如登山一样步履维艰时， 当资金短缺而债台高筑时， 当笑意已到嘴边但不得不掩面叹息时，　 当生活已被烦恼充斥，让你不堪重负时，好好休息一下吧！但是，请不要放弃。 Don’t quit Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don't give up though the pace seems slow-- You may succeed with another blow. 不要放弃 生活就是布满曲折与蜿蜒 正如每个人都会学到 许多情况下，当你坚持下去 事情就会出现转机， 纵使脚步缓慢也不要放弃 再努力一次成功可能就会来到 Don’t quit Success is failure turned inside out-- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit-- It's when things seem worst that you must not quit. 不要放弃 成功就就在失败的背面， 它是乌云中透出的一丝银光， 而且你根本无从得知你离目标到底有多近， 看似天涯可能却是比邻。 所以，奋斗下去即使当你遭到严重之极的打击， 正是事情不如意时你更不能放弃。 Vocabulary from the poem trudge [trʌdʒ] v.费力地走 to walk slowly or with heavy steps, because you are tired or carrying sth heavy fund [fʌnd] n.资金 [pl.] money that is available to be spent debt [det] n.欠款 a sum of money that you owe someone. queer [kwɪr] adj.奇怪的 (old-fashioned) strange or unusual pace [peɪs] n.步调，速度 the speed at which sb/sth walks or moves blow [bləʊ] n.打击，挫败 a sudden event which has damaging effects on sb/sth, causing sadness or disappointment Smart expressions 出问题 上坡的 债款；欠债 n. 负债；不负债 还清债务 曲曲折折 熙熙攘攘 许多 turn about Stick it out 坚持奋斗 成功 v. n. adj. 节选 go wrong uphill debt [c; u] in debt; out of debt pay off one’s debt twists and turns n. hustle and bustle n. many a/ more than one + n[sing] + v[sing] 彻底改变 坚持到底 stick to the fight succeed; success; successful excerpt Unit 2 Understanding Ideas We regret to inform you Activity 1 1 _______ has the same birthday as his /her most famous character: 31 July. 2 _______ may have written and hidden several unpublished works. 3 _______ had to pay to have his / her poetry published.

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. a polite way of saying that you are sorry about it. inform sb of\about sth dread doing sth\ ~ to think conj. little, seldom, scarcely face sth, be faced with “We regret to inform you...”These are the words that every writer dreads receiving, but words every writer knows well. “我们抱歉地通知您……”这句话，对每个作家来说，既可怕又熟悉。 1. regret doing sth. 后悔/遗憾做了某事 regret to do sth. 后悔/遗憾去做某事 regret that... （某人）后悔…… 很抱歉地通知您，您的申请未能通过。 We regret to inform you that your application has not been successful. 他很后悔提及那些事。 He regretted ever having mentioned it. 很抱歉我不能接受您的邀请。 I regret that I am unable to accept your invitation. 2. dread doing sth. 害怕做某事 dread to do sth. 害怕去做某事 dread that... （某人）害怕…… 我害怕生病。 I dread being sick. 我害怕去想到如果真的有火灾，将会发生什么。 I dread to think what would happen if there really was a fire here. 她害怕孩子会被带走。 She dreaded that her child might be taken from her. 动词不定式to inform和动名词receiving在句中作宾语： 有些动词后面通常用动词的-ing形式作宾语， 如：avoid, enjoy, mind, feel like等。 有些动词后面通常用动词不定式to do作宾语，如：want, offer, decide, fail, refuse, ask, pretend, intend, attempt, teach, discuss等。 有些动词后面可以用这两种形式作宾语，且意思基本相同，如：like, love, prefer, hate, start等。 独立主格 名词（代词）+现在分词 - 明天假设天气好，我们就进行比赛。 We shall play the match tomorrow, weather permitting. 名词（代词）+过去分词 - 如果给我们更多的时间，我们会把工作做得更好。 More time given, we should have done the job much better. 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”. take...for example= take... as an example 以...为例 stick stuck stuck v.粘贴 similar to sth\ like sth 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. 当她收到第一封拒稿信时，她决定把这看作是自己与喜爱的作家之间有了共同之处，并把这封信贴在厨房的墙上。 have... in common with... 与……有共同点 这两种文化有很多共同点。 The two cultures have a lot in common. 我和Jane没有共同点。 I have nothing in common with Jane. 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. despite the fact that perseverance 1. to reject 2. to reduce the noise\heat... in total 总计 agree to do translate ... into 把...译成... 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. too frequently 经常 struggle for\to do get sth done The novel details two days in the life of 16-year-old Holden Caulfield after he has been expelled from[ be forced to leave] prep school.

He ends up exhausted and emotionally unstable.The Catcher in the Rye takes the loss of innocence as its primary concern. Holden wants to be the “catcher in the rye”—someone who saves children from falling off a cliff, which can be understood as a metaphor for entering adulthood. The Catcher in the Rye 这部小说详细描述了16岁的霍尔登·考尔菲德被预科学校开除后的两天生活。困惑和幻灭，霍尔顿寻找真相，并谴责成人世界的“虚伪”。他最终筋疲力尽，情绪不稳定。《麦田里的守望者》将失去纯真作为其首要关注点。Holden想成为“麦田里的守望者”——一个从悬崖上救下孩子的人，这可以被理解为进入成年的隐喻。 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. in spite of 尽管，即使 serve as; serve sb sth=serve sth to sb 从事 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.” to be given to sb/sth dream of\about doing adj. 当时的 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...” under the name of ... 以...的名义 by means of end: an aim or a purpose be regarded / considered as 被认为是... It's/was +被强调的部分 +that + 其他 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 sth\that Basic human rights are now guaranteed. 一点点，少许 have/play a part (in sth): to be involved in sth 扮演...角色，起...作用 Keep trying and eventually you will read the words“We are delighted to inform you...” 坚持下去，你终会收到这样的回复：“我们高兴地通知您……” delighted: adj. very pleased and happy 愉快的，高兴的 我很高兴你能留下来。 I was delighted that you could stay. 她用玩具取悦孩子。 She delighted the children with toys. 这是我见过的最令人愉快的花园。 It was the most delightful garden I had ever seen.

We are delighted to inform you that your book is accepted / well-received... 2 Which paragraph does each of the sentences come from? Why does the author use them like this within the passage? Activity 4 Read the sentences and answer the questions. 2 Which paragraph does each of the sentences come from? Why does the author use them like this within the passage? “We regret to inform you…” comes from the first paragraph. “We are delighted to inform you…” comes from the last paragraph. The author intends to begin with the negative theme of rejection, but then reveal that perseverance can turn a bad beginning into a good ending. Or rather, success comes to those who don’t give up. In addition, the passage is made complete by the way in which the first sentence is mirrored by the last sentence. regret to inform you dread doing highly successful writers face rejection take.. for example have sth in common with survive on little money turn down a total of agree to do 抱歉地通知您 害怕做某事 卓越成功的作家 面临拒稿（拒绝） 以...为例 和...有共同点 靠微薄的钱度日（生活拮据） 拒绝 总计... 同意做某事 be translated in to different languages all too often face criticism along with refection struggle to do get his works published serve in the army work on the novel throughout his war service the prize for perseverance should go to... 被翻译成不同的语言 时常，经常 面临回绝并遭受批评 争取\斗争做某事 出版他的作品 在军队服役 致力于写小说 在战时服役期间 坚持不懈的荣誉应该颁给... dream of doing see their words in print under one’s name\ under the name of be regarded as classics of world literature achieve great ends guarantee success a touch of luck play a part （in）sth be delighted to inform you 梦想做某事 看到他们的作品（文字）出版 以...的名字 被视为世界文学的经典之作 实现宏大的目标 保证获得成功 一点点运气 在...中起作用 高兴地通知您 Lavf58.29.100 $$
