Day Day Up
原文：
In this manner, Hester Prynne came to have a part to perform in the world. With her native energy of character, and rare capacity, it could not entirely cast her off, although it had set a mark upon her, more intolerable to a woman's heart than that which branded the brow of Cain. In all her intercourse with society, however, there was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it. Every gesture, every word, and even the silence of those with whom she came in contact, implied, and often expressed, that she was banished, and as much alone as if she inhabited another sphere, or communicated with the common by other organs and senses than the rest of human kind. She stood apart from mortal interests, yet close beside them, like a ghost that revisits the familiar fireside, and can no longer make itself seen or felt; no more smile with the household joy, nor mourn with the kindred sorrow; or, should it succeed in manifesting its forbidden sympathy, awakening only terror and horrible repugnance. These emotions, in fact, and its bitterest scorn besides, seemed to be the sole portion that she retained in the universal heart.

翻译要点：
capacity 接受力
mortal interests 人类所关心的，interests 关心的事
kindred 同宗的，同族的
repugnance 厌恶，恶心
With her native energy of character, and rare capacity, it could not entirely cast her off, although it had set a mark upon her, more intolerable to a woman's heart than that which branded the brow of Cain. 虽然她身上被刺了字，这标记对于一个女性来说比烫在该隐（圣经中亚当之子）额上的标记更加难堪，但她拥有天生坚强的个性与罕见的忍耐力，她不会被这个世界彻底抛弃。
译文按汉语习惯把although引导的让步部分提前；把修饰a mark 的more intolerable to... 形容词短语添加主语、谓语，独立成句；把主句推后，把代词it按汉语习惯换成实词“社会”做主语，with短语译成独立的句子表示原因。
Every gesture, every word, and even the silence of those with whom she came in contact, implied, and often expressed, that she was banished, and as much alone as if she inhabited another sphere, or communicated with the common by other organs and senses than the rest of human kind.
该句主要是顺译，但是把with whom定语从句提前，使主语靠近谓语；that引导的宾语从句主干为 she was banished and alone；as if 引导的是方式状语从句。
She stood apart from mortal interests, yet close beside them, like a ghost that revisits the familiar fireside, and can no longer make itself seen or felt; no more smile with the household joy, nor mourn with the kindred sorrow; or, should it succeed in manifesting its forbidden sympathy, awakening only terror and horrible repugnance.
要译出stood apart和close beside之间的逻辑关系，另外要明确like a ghost后面都是比喻，说的都是ghost。（参见译文）
