Difficulties, Failures and Hardship
不经历风雨怎能见彩虹
没有人能随随便便成功
Thomas Alva Edison
Feb 11th 1847—Oct 18th 1931
In order to improve lighting, he began to experiment with various materials again and again, failed again and again, and worked hard for 13 months. He tried more than 6,000 kinds of materials and tested more than 7,000 times before he finally succeeded.
Lolita《洛丽塔》
《洛丽塔》卖出了5000万册，是一个永恒的、受人尊敬的经典小说，但一开始不得不忍受出版社的无数次退稿：
第一封退稿信：
“本社花了很长时间决定不出版纳博科夫的《洛丽塔》，你和我都知道我们不可能出版。书稿你想要回吗？我想你不要了吧？如果这样，我们就自行处理了。不过，请告诉我。不知道有没有出版商愿意买？”
第二封退稿信：
“应该给精神分析学家读读这本书，很可能已经这么做过了，小说里面包含一些优美的章节，但是它过于令人作呕，即使对于最开明的弗洛伊德学者来说也是如此…我请求将其埋葬一千年。”
Vladimir Nabokov 纳博科夫
Russian-American writer
April 22, 1899 —July 2, 1977
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.
请别放弃
情势时而不顺利，此乃意中之事,
举步维艰向上时,
口袋空空，债台高筑时,
想要微笑却得叹息时,
忧虑重重压住时,
必要之时请休息,
但你别放弃.
埃德加·阿尔伯特·盖斯特
(Edgar Albert Guest, 1881 – 1959）是20世纪上半叶一位高产的美国诗人，以“人民诗人”著称。
Life is queer with its twists and turns.
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a fellow turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don' give up though the pace seems slow-
You may sueceed with another blow.
命运起伏多古怪,
尽管有时会知道,
(意指有时我们也没了解到命运多变性质)
只要坚持就胜利
有人却转身离去
脚步放慢没关系
但请千万别放弃
还差一击就胜利
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when yout're hardest hit-
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
反转之间定成败
疑云后面是曙光
距离成功多近
你却从来不自知
也许只在咫尺，也许遥不可及;
即使遭到最重击，也要坚持不放弃
情况变得再糟糕
也要挺住不放弃
What 's the key message conveyed in the poem
Faced with difficluties, you must't give up.
Stick to it, and you will succeed.

Read each paragraph of this passage and work out the main idea
"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.
“我们很遗憾地通知您…”这些是每个作家都害怕听到的话，但每个作家都很熟悉。出版商的回复回来了，作者急切地打开并阅读，当他们读到最后一句话时，他们的心沉了下来。你可能已经花了很多年放弃你的周末和空闲时间来写你一生的作品，但这是不够的。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许多非常成功的作家以前面临过退稿信。
Main idea: A lot of highly successful writers previously received rejection letters.
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". 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 rejecions, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global sucecss, with over 400 millon books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.
以罗琳为例。当她收到第一封拒绝信时，她决定这意味着她现在和她最喜欢的作家有了共同之处，并把它贴在了厨房的墙上。罗琳曾有几年只有很少的钱生活，她把所有的时间都花在写作上。当她最终完成她的第一本书时，她收到了出版商的评论，大意是“对儿童来说太难了”、“太长了”、“儿童不会对它感兴趣”。尽管如此，她还是坚持下来了。“在每个出版商拒绝我之前，我不会放弃，但我经常担心这会发生，”她后来写道。在总共十二次退稿后，一家出版商最终同意印刷500册她的第一本书，正如我们所知，《哈利·波特》在全球获得成功，售出了4亿多本书，并被翻译成70多种不同的语言。
Main idea:
Harry Potter became a global sucecss after Rowling received a total of 12 rejection letters.
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. 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 millons of copies.
伟大作品的作者常常不得不面对批评和拒绝。J.D .塞林格从高中开始写短篇小说，但后来费尽周折他的作品才得以出版。“我们觉得我们对中心人物不够了解”是他在为《麦田里的守望者》写的手稿中受到的批评。尽管遭到几家出版商的拒绝，J.D .塞林格还是不放弃。即使在第二次世界大战期间他在美国军队服役时，他也随身携带了《麦田里的守望者》的六章，并在整个战争期间为这部小说笔耕不辍。当它最终出版时，这本书立即成为畅销书，并继续销售数百万册。
Main idea:
Writers of great works often have had to face criticism along with rejection.
Perhaps the oveall 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. 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...
也许毅力的最高奖项应该颁给来自维多利亚时代的英国的三姐妹，她们梦想看到自己的文字出版。然而，这是一个不鼓励女性成为作家的时代。正如当时的桂冠诗人罗伯特·骚塞写给其中一位的信中所说:“文学不能成为女性生活的一部分，也不应该成为。”尽管如此，三姊妹并没有停止努力。他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册，三姊妹仍然没有放弃。他们开始写小说，今天夏洛蒂·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》被认为是世界文学的经典之作。事实上，在《简爱》的书里，我们可以找到这样的话:“我崇尚耐力、毅力、勤奋、才华；因为这些是人们实现伟大目标的手段...
Main idea:
Endurance, perseverance, industry, talent are the means by which men achieve great ends.
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..."
所以，光有天赋似乎不足以保证成功。虽然大量的努力和一点点运气起了作用，但毅力是关键。继续努力，最终你会读到“我们很高兴通知你……”
Main idea: Perseverance is the key to 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.

And many a fellow turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out; Don' give up though the pace seems slow-

(意指有时我们也没了解到命运多变性质)
只要坚持就胜利
有人却转身离去
脚步放慢没关系
但请千万别放弃
还差一击就胜利
Success is failure turned inside out-
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when yout're hardest hit-
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
反转之间定成败

"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.
“我们很遗憾地通知您…”这些是每个作家都害怕听到的话，但每个作家都很熟悉。出版商的回复回来了，作者急切地打开并阅读，当他们读到最后一句话时，他们的心沉了下来。你可能已经花了很多年放弃你的周末和空闲时间来写你一生的作品，但这是不够的。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许多非常成功的作家以前面临过退稿信。
Main idea: A lot of highly successful writers previously received rejection letters.
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". 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 rejecions, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global sucecss, with over 400 millon books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.
以罗琳为例。当她收到第一封拒绝信时，她决定这意味着她现在和她最喜欢的作家有了共同之处，并把它贴在了厨房的墙上。罗琳曾有几年只有很少的钱生活，她把所有的时间都花在写作上。当她最终完成她的第一本书时，她收到了出版商的评论，大意是“对儿童来说太难了”、“太长了”、“儿童不会对它感兴趣”。尽管如此，她还是坚持下来了。“在每个出版商拒绝我之前，我不会放弃，但我经常担心这会发生，”她后来写道。在总共十二次退稿后，一家出版商最终同意印刷500册她的第一本书，正如我们所知，《哈利·波特》在全球获得成功，售出了4亿多本书，并被翻译成70多种不同的语言。
Main idea:
Harry Potter became a global sucecss after Rowling received a total of 12 rejection letters.
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. 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.

伟大作品的作者常常不得不面对批评和拒绝。J.D .塞林格从高中开始写短篇小说，但后来费尽周折他的作品才得以出版。“我们觉得我们对中心人物不够了解”是他在为《麦田里的守望者》写的手稿中受到的批评。尽管遭到几家出版商的拒绝，J.D .塞林格还是不放弃。即使在第二次世界大战期间他在美国军队服役时，他也随身携带了《麦田里的守望者》的六章，并在整个战争期间为这部小说笔耕不辍。当它最终出版时，这本书立即成为畅销书，并继续销售数百万册。

Writers of great works often have had to face criticism along with rejection.
Perhaps the oveall 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. 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.

也许毅力的最高奖项应该颁给来自维多利亚时代的英国的三姐妹，她们梦想看到自己的文字出版。然而，这是一个不鼓励女性成为作家的时代。正如当时的桂冠诗人罗伯特·骚塞写给其中一位的信中所说:“文学不能成为女性生活的一部分，也不应该成为。”尽管如此，三姊妹并没有停止努力。他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册，三姊妹仍然没有放弃。他们开始写小说，今天夏洛蒂·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》被认为是世界文学的经典之作。事实上，在《简爱》的书里，我们可以找到这样的话:“我崇尚耐力、毅力、勤奋、才华；因为这些是人们实现伟大目标的手段...
Main idea:
Endurance, perseverance, industry, talent are the means by which men achieve great ends.
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..."
所以，光有天赋似乎不足以保证成功。虽然大量的努力和一点点运气起了作用，但毅力是关键。继续努力，最终你会读到“我们很高兴通知你……”

"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.

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". 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 rejecions, one publisher eventually agreed to print 500 copies of her first book, and as we know, Harry Potter became a global sucecss, with over 400 millon books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.

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.
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 millons of copies.
