英语翻译
Hawthorne was at this time a tall,strong,athletic young man,fond of outdoor games,but at the same time exceedingly shy.He entered the Athenean Society,a literary body composed of students,in which he took an active part; and there still exists a Latin essay of some merit,which he read there in his junior year.His classmate,Longfellow,entered the rival literary society,between which and the Athenean there was a lively competition and a severe separation; so that the two youths who were to bring the most renown to the class in after years saw little of each other.But Longfellow used to recall how Hawthorne would rise in the recitation room,standing slightly sidewise—an attitude due to his constitutional shyness—and read from the Roman classics translations which had a peculiar elegance and charm.He was evidently not content with a bald rendering of the original,but threw into his version of the Latin peculiar beauties of English style.
