曼肥：David Bowiw永远地改变了我的生命

试着翻一下 各位见笑了
曼肥：“DB永远地改变了我的生命 每一首Bowie的歌对于我来说都是同他人交流的方式” 曼肥写到 “它就像镇静剂 一种激励 一封我永远不会再写的爱之信”
（这么翻有点儿怪）

The music community has been in shock since the announcement of David Bowie's death on Sunday. Marilyn Manson – a musician and performer who took to heart Bowie's flair for the theatrical and unorthodox – has written a poignant tribute to the late rock icon. His reflections, as told to Rolling Stone, show how Bowie's music "changed [his] life forever" starting with his first awestruck listen to "Diamond Dogs."

自从DB的死讯传来 整个音乐界都炸了 曼肥---一个音乐家 一个表演家 一个把DB在戏剧性和另类方面的天分铭记于心的人 为这位老一辈的摇滚偶像写了一封沉痛的悼词。他表示 就像他告诉滚石的那样 DB的音乐永久地改变了他的生命 这都开始于曼肥听到“diamond dogs”时的肃然起敬

以下是曼肥说的：
first introduction to David Bowie was watching "Ashes to Ashes" on MTV. I was confused and captivated.
我第一次入DB的坑是在MTV上看到了他的“Ashes to Ashed” 我那时很迷惑并且被他吸引住了

But it wasn't until my first real stay in Los Angeles, around 1997, that someone told me to take a moment to listen to something other than Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and Hunky Dory. So I went for a dizzying car ride through the Hollywood Hills and listened to "Diamond Dogs."
但是捏 直到1997年左右我才第一次真正的住在LA 那是一个人告诉我抽空去听一下DB的Aladdin Sane（1971年专辑）和 Hunky Dory（1973年专辑）然后我就找了一辆傻不拉几的车驶过好莱坞山去听diamond dogs

All of my nostalgia, instantly turned to awe. I was hearing him sing about fiction as a mask to show his naked soul. This changed my life forever.
Every song of his was a way for me to communicate to others. It was a sedative. An arousal. A love letter I could never have written.
我所有的思乡之情立刻转变成了敬畏之情 我听到他唱着的故事 就像一个面具一般展现了他不加修饰的灵魂 这永远改变了我
下一段同二楼

It has become and remains a soundtrack to a movie he painted with his voice and guitar.
He sang, "Hope, it's a cheap thing."
I don't need hope to know that he has found his way to the place that equals his untouchable, chameleon-genius beauty. The black star in space, that only HE belongs.

它已成为并保留成了一部他用自己声音和吉他来描绘的电影原声乐
他唱到 “希望这玩意儿是廉价的”
我不需要盼着去知道那个地方 DB已经建立了自己通往那里的路 那个与他的遥不可及、他变色龙天赋的美丽之处平行的地方----有着黑色星星的太空 那是只有他才属于的地方
