David Bowie was one of the most influential musicians of his time, constantly re-inventing his persona and sound, from the 1960s hippy of Space Oddity, through Ziggy Stardust and the Thin White Duke to his later incarnation as a soulful rocker.
在他所在的年代里,大衛(wèi)·鮑伊是最有影響力的音樂人之一,他的形象和曲風(fēng)都不斷地改變,從二十世紀(jì)60年代嬉皮士風(fēng)的《Space Oddity》,到后來他作為抒情搖滾歌手的代表作《Ziggy Stardust》和《Thin White Duke》。
Where before, artists and groups either evolved their musical style and appearance or remained unchanging, David Bowie seemed to be in permanent revolution.
此前的的藝術(shù)家和群體要么發(fā)展自己的音樂風(fēng)格和形象,要么保持不變。而大衛(wèi)·鮑伊似乎永遠(yuǎn)在變革。
Just as he blazed a trail through the world of rock'n'roll, David Bowie gave financial markets something they had never seen before—pop bonds.
大衛(wèi)·鮑伊在搖滾世界突破創(chuàng)新的同時,也給金融市場留下了一個前所未有的事物——名人債券。
