威尔-布鲁克教授

　　In a bid to gain insights into the life of pop-icon David Bowie, a London-based professor is spending a year living like the British star.

　　为深入了解流行偶像大卫-鲍威，伦敦一位教授模仿这位英国明星生活了一年。

　　Will Brooker, who teaches film and cultural studies at Kingston University, came up with the idea for the unusual project in order to experience specific moments of Bowie’s super-successful career. He will be adopting the same eating habits, reading the same books, and visiting the same places as Bowie did.

　　这位教授名为威尔-布鲁克，任职于金斯顿大学，教授电影与文化研究专业。为了体验鲍威辉煌生涯的特殊时刻，他想到了这个与众不同的项目。他将采用鲍威的饮食习惯、读鲍威读过的书、去鲍威去过的地方。

　　Brooker chose the late ’60s as his starting point, and has been through the musician’s 1974 Philadelphia soul period- with orange hair and blue eye shadow.

　　布鲁克选择了上世纪60年代末期鲍威出道至1974年费城灵魂时期的造型——橘色的头发和蓝色眼影。

　　Brooker does most of his makeup himself, with occasional help from professional artists. Over the past few months, he’s amassed “quite a collection” of makeup.

　　大部分妆都是布鲁克自己所画，偶尔他也会寻求职业艺术家的帮助。过去几个月，他攒了“很多”化妆品。

　　For the authentic Bowie experience, Brooker has also subjected himself to sleep deprivation and claims that on some weekends he has only consumed red peppers and milk. He only listens to music and watches films that Bowie did during that particular period of his life.

　　为了真正体验鲍威的生活，布鲁克剥夺了自己的睡眠时间并称自己有几周的食物只有红辣椒和牛奶。此外，他听的音乐、看的电影也与鲍威某段时间一样。

　　So to simulate the experience of using illegal substances, Brooker drinks an entire six-pack of energy drinks in the weekends. “It made me very jumpy,” he said. “The thought that kept returning to me was: how did Bowie survive the ’70s?

　　为了模仿鲍威使用非法药品的经历，布鲁克周末会喝整整6瓶能量饮料。“这让我变得神经兮兮，”他说。“我脑海中总是萦绕着一个想法：鲍威在70年代是怎么活下来的？”

　　“It’s fortunate that I’m going through his career chronologically,” he said. “ Because I think by ’83 he was pretty clean. I think I’ll get a tan, get fit, get my hair changed again, get my teeth whitened.”

　　“我体验了他整个生涯还是挺幸运的，”他说。“因为我觉得到1983年他就变得很整洁了。我觉得我会去晒太阳、健身、换个发型、美白牙齿。”

　　Brooker revealed that he has always felt an affinity for Bowie, even during his teenage years.

　　布鲁克透露道早在少年时期开始，他就一直喜爱着鲍威。

　　He isn’t sure how Bowie himself would feel about the unusual project. “I hope he would be interested in and amused by my research,” he said.

　　他不知道鲍威本人对这个与众不同的项目有何看法。“我希望他会对我的研究感兴趣并感到开心，”他说。(杨茜)
