大卫·鲍威音乐影视代表作回顾

Pop star. Songwriter. Record producer. Multi-instrumentalist. Actor. Artist ... Legendary British art-rock icon David Bowie -- who has died aged 69 -- was all these and so much more.

大明星、作曲者、音乐制作人、多乐器演奏家、演员、艺术家。英国艺术摇滚殿堂级的传奇偶像大卫·鲍威的角色远远不止这些，遗憾的是，他已不在世间，享年69岁。

In a prolific career spanning more than four decades, Bowie amassed a huge catalog of music, his unrelenting evolution keeping him relevant to new generations of fans.

大卫·鲍威的演艺生涯四十年不衰，他实属多产艺人，音乐作品量多又丰富，他对艺术的不懈创新使他身边永远簇拥着新生代粉丝。

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.

大卫·鲍威同时也是一名演员，20世纪70年代末至80年代初期是他表演生涯的鼎盛时期。他与许多大牌导演有过合作，例如大卫·林奇，马丁·斯科塞斯和吉姆·汉森。之后，他主要出演客串角色——以副业的角度来看，他算做的不错了。

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.

让我们一起回顾大卫·鲍威的著名歌曲和那些令人难忘的电影角色，以此纪念这位陨落的巨星。特别是在前几周发布的《拉撒路》，这是他最后一支献声的歌曲。

BOWIE THE MUSIC SUPERSTAR

音乐巨星鲍威

'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."

这是第一首虚拟宇航员汤姆少校为主角的歌曲，发行数周后，人类首次登月成功。《尘归尘，土归土》和《你好，太空男孩》是他之后创作的同主题歌曲。

'Ziggy Stardust' (1972)

《梦幻杰基》（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.

“杰基是弹着吉他的火星救世主。”鲍威曾如是说。“杰基星辰”算得上是鲍威个性中最令人难忘的一面。《梦幻杰基》是迷惑摇滚经久不衰的符号之一。在《杰基星尘和火星蜘蛛的盛衰》这张专辑中，鲍维化身为梦幻杰基，讲述自己的故事，专辑获得了突破性的巨大成功，一直以来，连续位居最佳专辑榜单之列。

'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.

这是鲍威最后一支迷惑摇滚风格的单曲，与《梦幻杰基》和《美国骗局》这类歌曲，还有颜色鲜艳的紧身衣和霓虹橙胭脂鱼发型形成了独特的鲍威风格。

'Fame' (1975)

《名声》（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.

这是鲍威在美国爆红的一首歌，1975年9月在公告牌百强单曲榜排名第一。伴唱是他的新朋友——约翰·列侬。

'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.

鲍威称，这首歌的创作灵感来源于柏林墙边相逢的一对恋人。几年后，他交代这对为大众所好奇的恋人正是他的制作人托尼·维斯孔蒂和他的德国女友。1987年，他在墙边表演了这首曲目，两年之后，柏林墙倒塌。

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

《地球上的和平》，又名《小鼓手》，与平·克劳斯贝合作

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.

鲍威的合作伙伴中大牌云集，包括皇后乐队和米克·贾格尔，他也因此而闻名。这次和平·克劳斯贝合作的特殊二重唱原先是为克劳斯贝的电视专题片《平·克劳斯贝的快乐传统圣诞》而录制。据其中一个作曲者伊恩·弗雷泽透露，那时鲍威说，“我真讨厌这首歌，就没有别的什么能给我唱的吗？”但这首歌却成为了流行文化中的经典曲目。

'Ashes to Ashes' (1980)

《尘归尘，土归土》（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.

这首歌讲的是鲍维塑造的传奇人物汤姆少校的故事——变为瘾君子的他如今神志不清，飘到别的星球上去了。

'Let's Dance' (1983)

《让我们跳起来》（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“新浪漫主义”（《尘归尘，土归土》时期）的三年之后，鲍威又决定转变风格，重塑自我。《让我们跳起来》 的制作人是来自迪斯科乐队Chic的尼尔·罗杰斯，他精通80年代的歌曲风格，这首歌相较于鲍威以前的作品更加积极，更加乐观。

'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."

这是鲍威发行的最后一首歌曲，现在看来，这首歌好似在预示他自己的死亡。在凄美的歌词中，有一句“仰望天际，我仿若置身天堂”。他的老朋友兼制作人托尼·维斯孔蒂称，鲍威将他的死也创作成了艺术，他几天前发布的新专辑《黑芒之星》就好似他送给世人的“告别礼物”。

BOWIE ON SCREEN

荧幕上的鲍威

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

《天外来客》（1976），尼古拉斯·罗伊格执导

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.

鲍威从该电影角色中突破自我，他骨瘦如柴，雌雄同体的外形完美塑造了一个为拯救濒亡的星球，来地球寻找水源的外星人。尼古拉斯·罗伊格导演的这部电影如今已成为了科幻流派的经典作品。

'Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence' (1983) Nagisa Oshima

《圣诞快乐，劳伦斯先生》（1983），大岛渚执导

In a widely acclaimed performance, Bowie plays a rebellious POW in a Japanese prisoner of war camp in this WWII drama with homoerotic undertones.

鲍威的表演生涯收获了一片赞誉，在二战电影中，鲍维还扮演了在日本战俘营中一位桀骜不驯，有同性恋倾向的战俘。

Labyrinth (1986) Jim Henson

《魔幻迷宫》（1986），吉姆·汉森执导

For an entire generation, "Labyrinth" not Ziggy Stardust was their introduction to the appeal of David Bowie. As the androgynous Goblin King who was at once threatening and sexually alluring, Bowie added a dangerous, adult edge to this fantasy film filled with puppets.

对一代粉丝来说，提到鲍威，首先说出的不是《梦幻杰基》而是《魔幻迷宫》。他扮演了一位雌雄同体的妖王，威胁和性诱共施，给这部遍地人偶的奇幻电影增添了一抹危险的成人色彩。

'The Last Temptation of Christ' (1988) Martin Scorsese

《基督最后的诱惑》（1988），马丁·斯科塞斯执导

Originally another musician, Sting, was to play the role of Pontius Pilate in Scorsese's controversial but critically acclaimed drama about Jesus' struggle with temptation during his life. Bowie was cast after Sting turned the role down.

斯科塞斯的这部戏剧饱受争议和批判，讲述的是耶稣在生命中与诱惑作斗争的故事，电影原先是定的另一位音乐人斯汀来出演本丢·彼拉多一角。斯汀拒演后，该角色由鲍威扮演。
