Question

高手翻译一下，拒绝机器翻译

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.

Answer 1

Hawthorne 曾经是一个高高壮壮的年轻小伙子，他喜欢户外运动，但是同时他又非常害羞。他加入Athenean，一个主要由学生构成的以文学为主体的社团，并且在其中担任很积极的角色；还有些好处就是还保留着拉丁文的散文，这些都是他在读大三的时候看过的。他的同学，Longfellow,加入可以和文学社团相竞争但是又具有独立性的社团；以至于两个年轻人都为班级增光添彩，但是经过时间的冲刷，对对方的记忆在慢慢减淡。但是Longfellow常常想起Hawthorne在教室背诵的情景，由于性格腼腆，他站着的时候，身体微微斜向一侧，但是在朗读古罗马译文时，却表现出了独特的优雅和魅力。那不仅仅是传达了这个文章本来的意思，更是把他个人英式的拉丁文的美感带入其中。

与上面那个人的翻译不一样.
