4 What words and expressions from the passage have you used to tell these stories
Language points
Para. 1
"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.
1. dread doing sth 惧怕做某事
2. one’s heart sinks 心情沉重
Para. 2
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".
3. take...for example 以...为例
4. have...in common 有...共同之处
5. survive on 靠...生存
Para. 2
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 success, with over 400 millon books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages.
6. turn down 拒绝；调小
7. a total of 总数为
Para. 3
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.
8. all too aften 太多时候；太过频繁
9. struggle to do sth 努力做某事
Para. 4
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." Nevertheless the sisters didn't stop trying. Their response was to write a book of poems under male names.
10. dream of doing sth 梦想做某事
11. in print 刊印；出版
Para. 4
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...
12. give up 放弃
13. be regarded as 被认为是
Para. 5
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..."
