问题我理所应当地是不能成为大作家的，因为我对文学不够虔诚。当作家，有的人是纯粹的一种热爱，有的人则是把文学当成了敲门砖。我属于后者。也就是说有的人天生是当作家的料，有的人却是因为生活上的原因所迫……我常常说，我不佩服那些在艰苦的环境中能奋斗的人，而佩服那些在安逸富足的条件下还能保持奋斗的人。苦难当然会逼迫人去奋斗，这是一种强大的动力。而有些人在优裕牛活中能不去玩乐不去享受，而能够苦苦地在写作，在我觉得他们的毅力简直不可思议。

选项

答案 It’s quite logical that I can never be a great writer, for I’m not devoted enough to literature. Some people choose to be a writer merely out of a passion for literature. Some, however, consider literature as a stepping-stone to success. I belong to the latter. I mean, some people are made for writing; some are forced to take to letters for one reason or another...
I often say that I don’t admire those who struggle in a tight corner, but those who keep forging ahead even in comfort and wealth. Hardship, of course, is a powerful motive, impelling people to spare no effort in their undertakings. Some people, however, though living a well-off life, don’t indulge in pleasure-seeking, but are engaged in the painstaking efforts of writing. Their will, to me, is incredible.

解析背景介绍
选自孙少山《我与小说》，见《八百米深处》，外语教育与研究出版社，中国文学出版社1999年出版。
难点解析
- 虔诚： “虔诚”除了可以译成“devoted”之外，还可以翻译成“pious”或者“devout”， “sincere”等。
- 敲门砖： “敲门砖”是个比喻，可以根据其意义翻译成“stepping stone”。
