23、gh 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.”译文参考我们很遗憾地通知你1“我们很遗憾地通知你”这些话是每个作者都害怕收到的，但每个作者都很清楚。出版商的答复回来了，作者急切地展开阅读，当他们读到最后一句时，他们的心沉了下来。为了写你一生的著作，你可能用了很多年，放弃
24、了周末和空闲时间，但这仍然常常是不够的。每个人都知道成功很少在一夜之间发生，但也许没有多少人知道，很多非常成功的作家之前都面临过拒绝。2以J.K.罗琳为例。当她收到第一封拒绝信时，她认为这意味着她现在和她最喜欢的作家有了共同点，并把它贴在了厨房的墙上。罗琳度过了好几年靠很少的钱维持生活的岁月，把所有的时间都花在写作上。当她终于写完第一本书时，她收到了出版商的评论，大意是“对孩子来说太难了”，“太长了”，“孩子们不会对它感兴趣”。尽管如此，她还是坚持了下来。她后来在网上发帖写道：“在每个出版商拒绝我之前，我不会放弃，但我经常担心会发生这种情况。”在12次拒绝之后，一位出版商最终同意出版她的第一本
25、书，印了500本，正如我们所知，哈利波特在全球获得了成功，售出了4亿多本书，并被翻译成70多种语言。3伟大作品的作者常常不得不面对批评和拒绝。J.D.塞林格高中时开始写短篇小说，但后来很难让他的作品得以出版。“我们觉得我们对(书中的)主要人物还不够了解”，这是写在他的麦田里的守望者的手稿上的批评。尽管遭到几位出版商的拒绝，J.D.塞林格还是拒绝放弃。即使第二次世界大战期间在美国军队服役时，他也随身携带了麦田里的守望者中的六章，并在整个战争服役期间致力于这部小说的创作。当这本书最终出版时，它立即成为畅销书，并售出数百万册。4也许坚韧不拔综合奖应该颁给英国维多利亚时代的三姐妹，因为她们梦想着看到自
26、己的文字被印刷出来。然而，这是一个不鼓励妇女成为作家的时代。正如当时的桂冠诗人罗伯特索西给三姐妹中的一人的信中所写的：“文学创作不可能也不应该是女人生活中的事情。”然而，这三姐妹并没有停止尝试。她们的回应是用男性的名字写一本诗集。即使这本书只卖了两本，姐妹仨还是没有放弃。她们开始写小说，今天夏洛特勃朗特的简爱、艾米莉勃朗特的呼啸山庄和安妮勃朗特的阿格尼丝格雷都被认为是世界文学的经典之作。事实上，正是在简爱这本书里，我们能够找到这些话：“我尊崇忍耐力、毅力、勤奋和才干；因为这些是人们实现伟大目标所凭借的手段”5所以，似乎光靠天赋不足以保证成功。虽然艰苦的努力和少许的运气都起作用，但毅力是关键。继续努力，最终你会读到“我们很高兴地通知你”
