British singer David Bowie died on Jan. 10 at the age of 69. The news was posted on the artist's official social media accounts.
英國歌手大衛(wèi)·鮑伊于1月10日逝世，享年69歲。消息發(fā)布在這位藝人的官方社交媒體賬號(hào)上。

Bowie, who was born David Robert Jones in Brixton, south London, scored his first hit in 1969 with the song "Space Oddity" and secured an enduring fanbase with his early albums "The Man Who Sold the World" and "Hunky Dory."
鮑伊原名大衛(wèi)·羅伯特·瓊斯，生于倫敦南部城市布里克斯頓，他1969年發(fā)行的第一首單曲《Space Oddity》獲得巨大反響，他早期發(fā)布的專輯《The Man Who Sold the World》和《Hunky Dory》也奠定了他廣大的粉絲基礎(chǔ)。

But the singer's breakthrough didn't happen until 1972, when he unveiled his androgynous alter ego, Ziggy Stardust, which catapulted him from "cult figure to rock icon."
但這位歌手直到1972年公開自己的“雙性人時(shí)代”時(shí)才取得重大突破，單曲《Ziggy Stardust》將他從人們心中的“邪惡形象推向搖滾偶像的巔峰”。

In 1975, he achieved his first No. 1 hit in the U.S. with the song "Fame," co-written by John Lennon.
1975年他與約翰·列儂共同創(chuàng)作的歌曲《Fame》讓他獲得了人生中第一個(gè)在美國排行榜第一名的位置。

Though best known for his music, Bowie also had a notable career on the silver screen, appearing in films such as "The Man Who Fell To Earth," "Basquiat," "The Prestige" and the cult-classic "Labyrinth," in which he starred as Jareth the Goblin King.
盡管鮑伊的音樂最為著名，但他也在熒幕上創(chuàng)下了不凡的業(yè)績，他曾參演過《天降財(cái)神》、《輕狂歲月》、《致命魔術(shù)》等電影，他還在經(jīng)典犯罪電影《魔幻迷宮》出演妖精國王賈內(nèi)斯。

Bowie was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 and given the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006. In 1997, he celebrated his 50th birthday, playing a sold-out show at Madison Square Gardens alongside the Foo Fighters, Billy Corgan, Lou Reed, Robert Smith and Frank Black.
鮑伊于1996年入駐搖滾名人堂，并且在2006年被授予格萊美終身成就獎(jiǎng)。1997年，他與噴火戰(zhàn)機(jī)樂隊(duì)在麥迪遜廣場花園進(jìn)行一場演出慶祝他50歲的生日，座無虛席。
