13、，their hearts sinking when they reach that final sentence.1You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time to write your lifes 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
14、 have previously faced rejection.Take for example JK.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 writ
15、ing.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”Nevertheless，she persevered.“I wasnt going to give up until every single publisher turned me down，but I often feared t
16、hat would happen，”she later posted.2After 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.3All too often w
17、riters 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 dont know the central character well enough” was the criticism he received on his manuscript for The Catcher
18、 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

22、because these are the means by which men achieve great ends.”4So，it seems that talent alone isnt 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.”译文参考我们很遗憾地
23、通知你“我们很遗憾地通知你”这些话是每个作家都害怕收到的，但每个作家都很清楚。出版商的回复回来了，作者急切地打开读了起来，当他们读到最后一句时，他们的心都沉了下来。你可能花了很多年放弃周末和空闲时间来写你一生的著作，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。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”
24、，“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。伟大作品的作者常常不得不面对批评和拒绝。捷罗姆大卫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。“我们觉得我们对主要人物还不够了解”，这是写在他的麦田守望者的手稿上的批评。尽管遭到几位出版商的拒绝，捷罗姆大卫塞林格还是拒绝放弃。即使在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守望
25、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。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：“文学不可能是女人生活中的事情，也不应该是姐妹仨。”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，我们可以找到这样一句话：“我尊重忍耐力、毅力、勤奋和才干；因为这些是男人实现伟大目标的手段”所以，似乎光靠天赋不足以保证成功。虽然大量的努力工作和一点点运气都起作用，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”
