It came back three weeks later with a form rejection slip attached.

三个星期后，稿子被退了回来，附带了一张退稿条。

There was no sudden golden flood of magazine sales, but the number of personal notes on the rejection slips went up fast.

并非是许多杂志突然争相来买我的稿子，而是我收到有个人色彩的退稿信很快就多了起来。

If you can't, you're going to collect a lot of rejection slips and perhaps explore a career in the fascinating world of telemarketing.

如果你做不到，你将会收到一大堆退稿信，也许该去试试电信销售这份有前途的职业。

During their circulation they collected, all told, thirty-one rejection slips, headstones for the packages that he would find lying like dead bodies at his door.

在他们流通的过程中，他们总共收集了三十一张拒收单，这些都是包裹的墓碑，他会发现这些包裹像尸体一样躺在他家门口。

When I got the rejection slip from AHMM, I pounded a nail into the wall above the Webcor, wrote “Happy Stamps” on the rejection slip, and poked it onto the nail.

收到《希区柯克》的退稿条以后，我在墙上留声机上面的位置敲了个钉子，在条子上写了“欢乐礼券”的字样，然后把条子挂到钉子上。

By the time I was fourteen (and shaving twice a week whether I needed to or not) the nail in my wall would no longer support the weight of the rejection slips impaled upon it.

到我十四岁的时候（不管需要不需要，这时我已经每周刮两次脸），我墙上的钉子已经承受不了太多退稿信的重量，我另换了一个大钉子，继续写。

He looks for satisfaction for his ego in the outside world when it has been bruised because of a rejection slip.Torrents of energy, both constructive and aggressive, suddenly are let loose where he works, and woe to all around.

当他的自我因一次退稿的事件而感到受伤时，他就会向外寻求补偿。能量的狂潮，极具建设性和侵略性，突然在他工作的地方被释放出来，哀鸿遍野。

I replaced the nail with a spike and went on writing. By the time I was sixteen I'd begun to get rejection slips with handwritten notes a little more encouraging than the advice to stop using staples and start using paperclips.

到我十六岁的时候，已经开始收到手写的退稿信，内容比“勿装订，用曲别针”之类的建议更令人鼓舞。

The editor quite conceivably agreed with him. He returned the manuscript with a rejection slip. Anthony sent it off elsewhere and began another story. The second one was called " The Little Open Doors" ; it was written in three days.

可以想象，编辑同意他的看法。他用退稿单退回了手稿。安东尼把它送到别处，开始了另一个故事。第二个叫做“敞开的小门”；它是在三天内写成的。
