A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
拒绝
Rejection
I am the luckiest novelist in the world. I was a first-time novelist who wasn't awash in rejection slips, whose manuscript didn't disappear in slush piles. I have had a wonderful time.
我是世界上最幸运的小说家。我是第一次写小说,没有被退稿单淹没,手稿也没有消失在烂泥堆里。我度过了一段美好的时光。
I think that you have to believe in your destiny; that you will succeed, you will meet a lot of rejection and it is not always a straight path, there will be detours - so enjoy the view.
我认为你必须相信你的命运;你会成功,你会遇到很多拒绝,它并不总是一条笔直的道路,会有弯路——所以享受风景吧。
People could rationally decide that prolonged relationships take up too much time and effort and that they'd much rather do other kinds of things. But most people are afraid of rejection.
人们可以理性地认为,长期的恋爱关系占用了太多的时间和精力,他们宁愿做其他事情。但是大多数人害怕被拒绝。
At this point in my career, I don't have to deal with audition rejections. So I get my rejection from other things. My children can make me feel rejected. They can humble you pretty quick.
在我职业生涯的这个阶段,我不需要处理试镜的拒绝。所以我从其他事情中得到了拒绝。我的孩子会让我感到被排斥。他们能很快让你变得谦逊。
I had immediate success in the sense that I sold something right off the bat. I thought it was going to be a piece of cake and it really wasn't. I have drawers full of - or I did have - drawers full of rejection slips.
我立刻就成功了,因为我马上就卖出去了一些东西。我原以为会是小菜一碟,但事实并非如此。我的抽屉里——或者我确实有——装满了退稿单。
As actors, we deal with rejection so much more than any other business. So I don't care how much of a genius you are, if you don't have the propensity to be able to get back up every time you get knocked down, then you're not going to survive.
作为演员,我们处理拒绝比处理其他任何事情都要多。所以我不在乎你有多天才,如果你没有在每次被打倒的时候都能站起来的倾向,那么你就活不下去了。
Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Everyone confuse these things with love, but in reality, love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again.
每个人都说爱是痛苦的,但事实并非如此。孤独很伤我的心。拒绝伤害。失去一个人疼。每个人都把这些事情和爱混淆了,但在现实中,爱是这个世界上唯一能掩盖所有的痛苦,让我们再次感到美好的东西。
The thing about stand-ups is you can't really get good unless you're failing in front of a large number of people. That makes stand-up comedy unique: you need a tremendous amount of reserve within you to take the rejection from the audience, and without it, you can't do anything.
单口相声的问题是,除非你在很多人面前失败,否则你不可能真正做好。这使得单口喜剧独一无二:你需要内心有巨大的储备来接受观众的拒绝,没有它,你什么也做不了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
An objection is not a rejection; it is simply a request for more information.
反对不是拒绝;这仅仅是对更多信息的请求。
I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.
我把拒绝看作是有人在我耳边吹响号角,唤醒我,让我继续前进,而不是退缩。
My parents didn't want me to be an actor. They didn't think I could take the rejection, and I have to say they were probably right.
我父母不想让我当演员。他们认为我不能接受他们的拒绝,我不得不说他们可能是对的。
Actors search for rejection. If they don't get it they reject themselves.
演员寻找拒绝。如果他们没有得到它,他们拒绝自己。
Beware of allowing a tactless word, rebuttal, a rejection to obliterate the whole sky.
要小心,不要让一句不得体的话、一句反驳的话、一句拒绝的话毁掉整个天空。
