We Regret to Inform You①...
“We regret to inform you...”These are the words that every writer dreads receiving②，but words every writer knows well．The response from a publisher③ comes back and the writer eagerly opens and reads it，their hearts sinking[1] when they reach that final sentence④.You may have spent years giving up your weekends and free time⑤ 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 writers⑥ have previously faced rejection⑦.
[1]their hearts sinking是獨立主格結構，在句中作狀語。
Take for example⑧ J．K．Rowling．When she received her first rejection letter⑨，she decided that it meant she now had something in common with⑩ 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 [2]，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[3].
[2]句中的not...until...表示“直到……才……”。
[3]句中with over 400 million books sold and translated into more than seventy different languages是“with＋賓語＋賓語補足語”結構。
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 millions of copies .
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 .Even when the book sold only two copies，the sisters still didn't give up．They started writing novels，and today Charlotte Brontё's Jane Eyre，Emily Brontё's Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontё'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...”[4]
[4]本句是一個強調句，強調within the pages of Jane Eyre。by which引導定語從句，修飾先行詞means。
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...”
我們抱歉地通知您……
“我們抱歉地通知您……”這句話，對每個作家來說，既可怕又熟悉。出版商給了回信，作家急切地拆開來讀，但讀到這最后一句，心隨即跌落谷底。你可能已經花費數年，放棄了周末和空閑時間去創作你的畢生作品，但這往往還不夠。大家都明白，成功不是一朝一夕可以獲得的；但也許很多人都不知道，很多卓越的作家也都曾被拒稿。
J．K．羅琳就是其中一位。當她收到第一封拒稿信時，她決定把這看作是自己與最喜愛的作家之間有了共同之處，并把這封信貼在廚房的墻上。羅琳過了很多年拮據的生活，她把所有時間都用來寫作。當她終于完成第一本書時，出版商給出的評價卻是“對孩子來說太難理解”“太長”“孩子們不會感興趣”等等。盡管如此，她依然堅持不懈。“我不會放棄的，除非所有的出版商都拒絕我。不過我常常擔心這真的會發生。”她后來說。在收到12封拒稿信后，終于有家出版商同意將她的第一本書印刷500冊。我們都知道，《哈利·波特》后來在全球大獲成功，銷量超過4億冊，被翻譯成了70多種不同的語言。
在被回絕的同時還要遭受批評，這在那些寫出偉大作品的作家身上太常見了。J．D．塞林格從高中時就開始寫短篇小說了，但之后他的作品卻難以發表。“我們覺得自己無法充分理解中心人物。”這是《麥田里的守望者》的手稿受到的批評。即使被多家出版商回絕，J．D．塞林格也從未放棄。甚至在二戰期間，他在美國陸軍服役時，還隨身攜帶了《麥田里的守望者》一書的六章內容，繼續致力于這部小說的創作。最終，這本書一經出版，便立刻成為暢銷書，賣出了數百萬冊。
也許，堅持不懈的最高榮譽應該頒給來自英國維多利亞時代的三姐妹。她們夢想著看到自己的作品出版。然而，這是一個不鼓勵婦女成為作家的時代。當時的桂冠詩人，羅伯特·騷塞，在給她們其中一位的信中寫道：“文學不可能也不應該成為女人的事業。”盡管如此，三姐妹并沒有放棄嘗試。她們的應對方式是以男性名字為筆名寫了一本詩集。即使這本詩集只賣出了兩冊，但她們還是沒有放棄，轉而開始寫小說。如今，夏洛蒂·勃朗特的《簡·愛》、艾米莉·勃朗特的《呼嘯山莊》和安妮·勃朗特的《艾格妮絲·格雷》被認為是世界文學的經典之作。其實，這正印證了我們在《簡·愛》中讀到的：“我崇尚忍耐、堅毅、勤奮、天賦；因為只有依靠這些，人們才能實現宏大的目標……”
因此，僅靠天賦似乎不足以保證獲得成功。不懈的努力和一點點運氣固然很重要，但堅持不懈才是關鍵。堅持下去，你終會收到這樣的回復：“我們高興地通知您……”

因此，僅靠天賦似乎不足以保證獲得成功。不懈的努力和一點點運氣固然很重要，但堅持不懈才是關鍵。堅持下去，你終會收到這樣的回復：“我們高興地通知您……”
