音樂偶像大衛鮑威逝世 音樂影視代表作回顧

As an actor, his career flourished from the late 1970s to the early 1980s -- and he worked with great directors including David Lynch, Martin Scorsese and Jim Henson. Latterly, he mainly acted in cameos -- not bad for a side career.

大衛·鮑威同時也是一名演員,20世紀70年代末至80年代初期是他表演生涯的鼎盛時期。他與許多大牌導演有過合作,例如大衛·林奇,馬丁·斯科塞斯和吉姆·漢森。之後,他主要出演客串角色——以副業的角度來看,他算做的不錯了。

In honor of a fallen star, here are some of Bowie's most memorable songs and film roles -- including his final haunting word in "Lazarus," released just a few weeks ago.

讓我們一起回顧大衛·鮑威的著名歌曲和那些令人難忘的電影角色,以此紀念這位隕落的巨星。特別是在前幾周發佈的《拉撒路》,這是他最後一支獻聲的歌曲。

BOWIE THE MUSIC SUPERSTAR

音樂巨星鮑威

'Space Oddity' (1969)

《太空怪人》(1969)

The first song to feature fictional astronaut Major Tom, released just weeks before the first Moon landing. Later songs included "Ashes to Ashes" and "Hallo Spaceboy."

這是第一首虛擬宇航員湯姆少校爲主角的歌曲,發行數週後,人類首次登月成功。《塵歸塵,土歸土》和《你好,太空男孩》是他之後創作的同主題歌曲。

'Ziggy Stardust' (1972)

《夢幻傑基》(1972)

"Ziggy was my Martian messiah who twanged a guitar," Bowie once said of perhaps his most memorable alter ego, Ziggy Stardust -- who remains one of the enduring symbols of glam rock. The concept album that tells his story 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' was Bowie's breakthrough hit and is consistently ranked one of the greatest records of all time.

“傑基是彈着吉他的火星救世主。”鮑威曾如是說。“傑基星辰”算得上是鮑威個性中最令人難忘的一面。《夢幻傑基》是迷惑搖滾經久不衰的符號之一。在《傑基星塵和火星蜘蛛的盛衰》這張專輯中,鮑維化身爲夢幻傑基,講述自己的故事,專輯獲得了突破性的巨大成功,一直以來,連續位居最佳專輯榜單之列。

'Rebel Rebel' (1974)

《反叛者,反叛者》(1974)

This was Bowie's last single in the glam rock style that had been his trademark with songs like "Ziggy Stardust" and "Jean Genie" -- and extravagant brightly colored skintight jumpsuits and neon orange mullet.

這是鮑威最後一支迷惑搖滾風格的單曲,與《夢幻傑基》和《美國騙局》這類歌曲,還有顏色鮮豔的緊身衣和霓虹橙胭脂魚髮型形成了獨特的鮑威風格。

'Fame' (1975)

《名聲》(1975)

This is the song that made Bowie huge in the US -- reaching number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September of 1975. His new friend, John Lennon, sings backing vocals.

這是鮑威在美國爆紅的一首歌,1975年9月在公告牌百強單曲榜排名第一。伴唱是他的新朋友——約翰·列儂。

'Heroes' (1977)

《英雄》(1977)

Bowie said the song was inspired by a pair of lovers by the Berlin Wall. Years later, he admitted that the lovers in question were his producer Tony Visconti and his German girlfriend. He performed the song at the wall in 1987, two years before it fell.

鮑威稱,這首歌的創作靈感來源於柏林牆邊相逢的一對戀人。幾年後,他交代這對爲大衆所好奇的戀人正是他的製作人託尼·維斯孔蒂和他的德國女友。1987年,他在牆邊表演了這首曲目,兩年之後,柏林牆倒塌。

'Peace on Earth/The Little Drummer Boy' (1977) with Bing Crosby

《地球上的和平》,又名《小鼓手》,與平·克勞斯貝合作

Bowie was noted for his collaborations, including with Queen and Mick Jagger. This bizarre duet with Bing Crosby was originally recorded for the crooner's TV special "Bing Crosby's Merrie Old Christmas." At the time Bowie said, "I hate this song. Is there something else I could sing?" according to one of the song's writers Ian Fraser. But it's since become a pop culture classic.

鮑威的合作伙伴中大牌雲集,包括皇后樂隊和米克·賈格爾,他也因此而聞名。這次和平·克勞斯貝合作的特殊二重唱原先是爲克勞斯貝的電視專題片《平·克勞斯貝的快樂傳統聖誕》而錄製。據其中一個作曲者伊恩·弗雷澤透露,那時鮑威說,“我真討厭這首歌,就沒有別的什麼能給我唱的嗎?”但這首歌卻成爲了流行文化中的經典曲目。

'Ashes to Ashes' (1980)

《塵歸塵,土歸土》(1980)

The big reveal in this song is what happened to Bowie's legendary character Major Tom -- now a junkie, strung out and drifting to the stars.

這首歌講的是鮑維塑造的傳奇人物湯姆少校的故事——變爲癮君子的他如今神志不清,飄到別的星球上去了。

'Let's Dance' (1983)

《讓我們跳起來》(1983)

Ever-changing, Bowie reinvents himself again three years after his New Romantic period, which included songs like "Ashes to Ashes." Much more upbeat that his previous work, "Let's Dance" was produced by Nile Rogers of the disco band Chic, who was responsible for its slick '80s vibe.

在他的“新浪漫主義”(《塵歸塵,土歸土》時期)的三年之後,鮑威又決定轉變風格,重塑自我。《讓我們跳起來》 的製作人是來自迪斯科樂隊Chic的尼爾·羅傑斯,他精通80年代的歌曲風格,這首歌相較於鮑威以前的作品更加積極,更加樂觀。

'Lazarus' (2015)

《拉撒路》(2015)

The last song Bowie released, now a haunting final word from a man who knew he was dying. The line "Look up here, I'm in heaven," is among the poignant lyrics. Long-time friend and producer Tony Visconti said he turned his death into a work of art, describing his new album "Blackstar," released a few days ago, as "his parting gift."

這是鮑威發行的最後一首歌曲,現在看來,這首歌好似在預示他自己的死亡。在悽美的歌詞中,有一句“仰望天際,我仿若置身天堂”。他的老朋友兼製作人託尼·維斯孔蒂稱,鮑威將他的死也創作成了藝術,他幾天前發佈的新專輯《黑芒之星》就好似他送給世人的“告別禮物”。

BOWIE ON SCREEN

熒幕上的鮑威

'The Man who Fell to Earth' (1976) Nicolas Roeg

《天外來客》(1976),尼古拉斯·羅伊格執導

Bowie's breakout film role saw him use his skeletal, androgynous appearance to unsettling effect as an alien who comes to Earth to get water for his dying planet. Director Nicolas Roeg's film is today considered a visionary classic of the sci-fi genre.

鮑威從該電影角色中突破自我,他骨瘦如柴,雌雄同體的外形完美塑造了一個爲拯救瀕亡的星球,來地球尋找水源的外星人。尼古拉斯·羅伊格導演的這部電影如今已成爲了科幻流派的經典作品。
