【英音模仿秀】音乐画家鲍勃·迪伦

模仿文本：Bob Dylan singing about Rubin Carter the heavyweight boxer¹ who was wrongly convicted² of murder, before that we heard Sara, one of several musical portraits he made of his wife, and we start with Hollis Brown, a work of fiction, about a desperate farmer who kills his wife and kids. Those are just three of  the hundreds of Dylan's songs populated by a cast of real and imagined people. Often we know where they live and what they do, but what do they look like?

 

译文：鲍勃·迪伦正在唱的是被误判成杀人犯的如宾·卡特。第二首名叫《莎拉》，是鲍勃几首描写妻子的歌曲之一。第一首为霍利斯·布朗，是虚构出的故事，讲了一个绝望的农民杀死了自己的妻儿。迪伦以真实和虚构的人物为题材，创作了上百首歌曲，以上只是其中三首。通常，我们知道这些人物的住所和职业，但他们长什么样子？也许鲍勃·迪伦歌中一些人就在他即将在伦敦国家肖像美术馆里展出的12幅蜡笔肖像画里。和我在一起的是《新政治家》的“秘书”凯特·莫斯曼。凯特，我们都知道鲍勃·迪伦是一位出色的音乐肖像画家，他的蜡笔画水平如何？
