回复：2009《YRB》杂志专访【翻译】

“It’s always about being yourself,” he said. “That’s what I am. That’s what everyone should be…But you can look at things from many different angles.”
“它总是关于做你自己，”他说。“那就是我是谁。那就是每个人应该是谁……但你可以从不同的角度看待事物。”

One wonders of that’s the reason so many people dismiss Manson, almost as a different generation dismissed Andy Warhol. Yes, he covers his shyness with outrageous antics-and in fairness has earned millions of dollars in the process-but he also doesn’t make apologies for his choices. The same was reportedly true of Warhol.
真不知道那就是如此多的人反感曼森的原因，几乎就像是另一代反感Andy Warhol一样。是的，他用离谱的夸张动作来掩盖羞涩——在这过程中正当地赚取了百万美元——而且他并没有为他的种种选择道歉。与报道中的真正的Warhol一样。
译者注：Andy Warhol（安迪•沃霍尔）（1928-1987）波普艺术的领袖人物，电影制片人、作家、摇滚乐作曲者、出版商，他的画与电影都个人风格浓重。尤其是电影创作，有兴趣的同学可以百度一下，全是敏*感*词，我就不贴了……
赠Andy Warhol及其作品一张



“I am all about standing up and being who you are,” he said. ”At that point(when Dita left) I had almost given up, and that scared the shit out of me. It was one weird time in my life…”
“我一直努力站起来成为你这样的人”他说。“在那个时候（Dita离开的时候）我几乎放弃了，我怕的要SHI。那是我人生中一段荒诞的时间。”
译者吐槽：如果你觉得这一段翻译的太混乱，好吧，它真的很混乱，我也没太看懂……

Just one listen to the 15-track disc, and you can almost feel his pain, his frustrations and his rebirth. But don’t think this album is some emo disc. The High End Of Low is Manson at his high-energy metal best with graphic lyrics on tracks such as “I Have To Look Up Just To See Hell.”
“You can take me,
The grave can take me,
I love you damaged,
I need human wreckage,
I have to look up just to see hell.”
只需听听《15》这首歌，你几乎就可以感到他的痛苦、他的失意和他的重生。但不要以为这张专辑是那种EMO的碟子。《The High End Of Low》是曼森富有高能量的金属作品，最好的是歌曲那生动的歌词，比如《I Have To Look Up Just To See Hell》（《我须仰望，方见地狱》）
“你可以带走我，
坟墓可以带走我，
我爱受伤的你，
我需人的残骸，
我须仰望，方见地狱。”
译者注:EMO指情绪硬核（又译情绪摇滚），特点是大量运用吉他的八度和声，歌词抽象，唱法常在低吟、黑嗓中往复，乐队成员比较情绪化。（根据百度百科整理）

If you think of this album as Manson’s therapist you have the right idea. And that’s fine with Manson.
“I can laugh about myself once the points are made,” he said. ”It doesn’t bother me.”
如果你把这专辑看作是曼森的治疗师，你的看法是对的。它真的对曼森有好处。
“一旦这些想法出现，我会笑话我自己，”他说。“它不会影响我。”
译者吐槽：还是没看懂他想表达什么……

“Anything can be misinterpreted. People can look at Christ on a cross and say this is murder…” Manson said to O’Reilly. “I respect you for challenging me, and that’s why I came on the show.”
“任何事情都可以被曲解。人们看见耶稣钉在十字架上然后说这是谋杀……”曼森对O’Reilly说。“我因为你挑战我而尊敬你，这就是为什么我会来这个节目。”

Everyone who has an inkling about Manson’s work-and many that likely don’t –knows that it’s often full of profanity, which Manson has said is sometimes necessary to use as a tool to make a point. This album-which includes a song titled “Arma-goddamn-mother****in-geddon”-is no different. What’s interesting is that Manson doesn’t use profanity when he converses, but does in lyrics. He considers it a tool to make a point and, again, entice people to listen to his message.
每个对曼森的作品有些许了解（很多人可能没有）的人都知道那是充满脏话的，曼森说这种脏话是有时为了表明一种看法所必需的工具。这张专辑（包括一首叫做《Arma-godd*mn-motherf*ckin-geddon》的歌）也不例外。有趣的是，曼森在交谈时不说脏话，在歌词里却说。他认为这是表明一种观点的工具，并且再一次吸引人们聆听他的讯息。


Consider the aforementioned song with lyrics that include:
“First you try to **** it,
Then you try to eat it.
If it hasn’t learned your name,
You better kill it before they see it.”
Taken out of context it’s just profanity, but put it into the song filled with catchy hooks and an infectious beat, and it works.
想起前面提到的带有这样歌词的歌包括：
“首先你试着干了它，
然后你试着吃了它。
如果它还未记得你的名字，
在他们看见它前杀了它，”
从内容中单独取出来，它就只是脏话，但如果把它放进充满有吸引力和感染力的节奏的歌里，它就会起作用。

“I just live for the simple pleasures wherever they come from, but you have to be yourself, accept yourself,” said Manson calling the record proof of his resurrection. ”Life has to be fulfilling or you die. And I don’t want to die.”
“我只是为了不知从何而来的简单的乐趣而活，但你必须做你自己，接受你自己，”曼森称这张专辑是他复活的证明，“要么充实生活，要么死，我还不想死。”

全文完。
还是那句：我英语水平有限，翻译不通的地方大家大概看看应该也能懂，有错误的地方欢迎指正。
