回复：09年6月《Q》杂志专访【翻译】【marilyn吧】

    "I love to paint," he says, then leads me to the room in which he does just that ("on my knees"). It is even more chaotic in here than his bedroom, half-finished canvases of nudes, former girlfriends and countless self-portraits strewn everywhere. Though he says that the art would has embraced his work on its own merit (individual paintings can sell for as much as $150,000), it is also true to say that opinion on his brushwork is divided. Charles Darwent, art critic at The Independent On Sunday, finds little to admire.
     “我爱作画。”他说，然后带我到他（“在我的膝盖上”）作画的房间。（译者注：指曼叔喜欢把画板放在膝盖上作画）这儿甚至比他的卧室更混乱，未完成的裸（忽略括号）体、前女友的画像和数不清的自画像散落在各处。虽然他说艺术将以它自己的价值来概括他的工作，（个别作品可以买到高达15万美元），但对他的画作的看法有分歧也是事实。Charles Darwent，这个《周日独立报》的艺术批评家，觉得没什么值得欣赏的地方。

     译者吐槽：这个破报纸或者是破杂志，我查都查不到

"The word 'dire' springs to mind," he offers."I suppose it's vaguely interesting that a medium as reputedly anodyne as watercolour is being used to portray metal monsters, but that's about it. How depressing that people pay good for them."
“‘可怕’这个词突然出现在我的脑海里，”他说道，“我认为用水彩这种有名的舒缓情绪的介质来描绘金属怪物是比较有趣的事，但仅此而已，人们为它们付出高价是多么令人沮丧的事。”

We close the door on his art and head back down to the living room, which he inhabits mostly alone now, kept company only by his cats. He reveals that he has few friends and wants desperately to fall in love again, but his heart has been broken too many times, most painfully by the burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese, whom he married in 2005 (she divorced him a year later, citing "irreconcilable differences"). Their coupling elevated him into a level of mainstream celebrity he could never be entirely comfortable with culminating, bizarrely, when their wedding photographs appeared in US Vogue. Presumably Hello! hasn't returned their calls.
我们关上了艺术室的门又回到客厅里，他现在主要是自己一个人生活，只有他的猫陪伴。他透漏他没有朋友并且拼命地想再次坠入爱河，但他的心已经被伤了太多次，其中最痛苦的是被2005年和他结婚的滑稽剧舞蹈演员Dita Von Teese所伤（她一年后以“不可调和的矛盾”为由与他离婚）。当美国《Vogue》杂志（想必是《Hello！》杂志没回他们的电话）刊登了他们的婚礼照片后，他们的结合使他上升为主流明星级别，奇怪的是，他并未由于达到顶点而感到完全舒适。
译者注：
1.《Vogue》杂志成立于1892年，是世界上历史悠久广受尊崇的一本时尚类杂志。已在15个国家出版，有较强影响力。
2. 《Hello！》是英国的一家名人杂志。

"I never wanted that; Dita did," he says, wincing, "Anyway, that's all old news. I don't have any hard feelings over her anymore. We've gained closure - or rather, I gave it to her."
“我从来不想那样做，但Dita想。”（译者注：指把婚礼照刊登在《Vogue》上）他躲闪地说，“不管怎么说，那些都是旧新闻了。我已不再对她有任何反感。我们已经结束了，或者说，我已经如她所愿的让这段感情结束了。”

    His most recent heartbreak is over Wood. When they started dating, she was 19, he was a recently divorced 38-year-old-man seemingly in the midst of an unseemly midlife crisis. Classic Lolita territory, in other words.
     他的最近一次心碎是由于Wood,他们约会的时候，她19岁，而他是一个刚离婚的男人，看起来处于不体面的中年危机之中。换句话说，是经典的《洛丽塔》桥段。
     译者注：《洛丽塔》叙述了一个中年男子与一个未成年少女的恋爱故事。男主角亨伯特是一个化了装的极端个人主义的艺术家。但男女主角最终未在一起，是一个悲剧故事。

He sighs deeply, and suddenly looks terribly lonely. Manson isn't good by himself. He forever requires a soul mate - preferably much younger than himself ("I've always had a desire to attach myself to innocence"). sometimes he brings back girls to the house. Not all of them, he grins, flee in abject horror.
他深深叹了口气，突然看起来特别孤独。曼森独自一人并不好。他永远都需要一个灵魂伴侣——最好是比他年轻得多（“我一直有一种把自己和单纯联系在一起的愿望”）。有时他会把女孩带回家里。不是所有的，他露齿一笑，在极度惊慌中（译者注：这个翻得不太准）逃离了话题。

   "Look, I am aware how this place must look to the outsider. It looks ridiculous and absurd. But it's supposed to be ironic. That's the role I'm playing, after all."
   And what role is that, precisely?
    He blinks rapidly, convinced the question is a foolish one.
    "Rock star, of course. What else?"
   “看，我知道外面的人会怎么看这个地方。它看起来可笑又荒诞。但它是带讽刺性的，毕竟那是我所扮演的角色”
   准确地说，是什么角色呢？
   他快速地眨了眨眼，相信这是个愚蠢的问题。
   “当然是摇滚明星了，还能是别的吗？”
