2月底，當某論壇上剛剛出現(xiàn)關(guān)于“犀利哥(Brother Sharp)”的帖子時，網(wǎng)友爭相追捧其放蕩不羈的混搭風(fēng)范。而時間到了本月初，當人們還在紛紛猜測其身世之謎時，他的親人已經(jīng)帶他走上了回家路。讓我們回顧一下犀利哥走紅網(wǎng)絡(luò)的經(jīng)過。
The photograph shows a starkly handsome Chinese man walking with a model's measured gait, and wearing a rag-tag but well co-ordinated overcoat on top of a leather jacket. His eyes peer into the middle distance, in what one fan described as "a deep and penetrating way", and he strides confidently forward.
照片中的他面龐英俊，步態(tài)有如模特一般；身穿真皮夾克外套一件大衣，看似衣衫襤褸，實則搭配合理。他的目光正視著遠方，一個粉絲稱其是“擁有具有穿透力的深邃目光”，而他往前的步伐充滿著自信。
But this is no catwalk model. This is a homeless man in the city of Ningbo. And now a band of web followers are calling him the coolest man in China.
但是，這不是在T型臺走秀，這的的確確是寧波市的一個無家可歸者。現(xiàn)在，大量的網(wǎng)絡(luò)追隨者把他稱為中國最酷的男人。
His good looks and bohemian dress sense have won him thousands of online fans after a resident of Ningbo posted a picture online. Web users in China have called him the "Beggar Prince", the "Handsome Vagabond", and, most often, "Brother Sharp".
當一位寧波市民將他的照片上傳到網(wǎng)上后，他英俊的外表和波西米亞風(fēng)格的穿著就為他贏得了大量的網(wǎng)絡(luò)粉絲。中國的網(wǎng)民們稱其為“乞丐王子”、“英俊的流浪漢”，當然，最流行的稱呼是“犀利哥”。
He is 5ft 8in, around 35 years old, and always has a cigarette between his fingers. He also appears to have a fondness for women's clothes, which has only served to fuel his status as a fashion icon. His good looks are reminiscent of popular Asian actors like Takeshi Kaneshiro or the Oscar- nominated Ken Watanabe.
他身高約1米73，年齡約35歲，手上總有一根香煙。他好像對女性服裝情有獨鐘，這也讓他時尚偶像的地位大幅攀升。他英俊的外表與金城武以及獲得奧斯卡提名的日本演員渡邊謙頗有幾分類似。
One particularly striking picture juxtaposes Brother Sharp's with a model showing the latest Dolce & Gabbana collection. "Look at him wrinkle his brow... nothing needs to be said... sexy...", ran one comment on the Tianya site.
在一張頗為引人注目的照片中，網(wǎng)友將犀利哥同身著Dolce & Gabbana最新款服裝的模特拼在一起。天涯網(wǎng)友評論到：“看著他皺起雙眉……啥都不必說了……真是性感……”
Another wrote: "He doesn't really look like a beggar, more like a vagabond. The quality of this person's tops are all not bad, a down jacket, cotton jacket, even a leather jacket inside, and though they're a bit dirty, they're all in good condition, not the kind that beggars find from the trash."
還有網(wǎng)友寫到：“他看上去真的不像一個乞丐，更像是一個流浪漢。這人上半身的穿著質(zhì)量都不差，羽絨夾克，棉背心，里面甚至還穿了件皮夾克。盡管它們有點臟了，但并無破損，不像是乞丐從垃圾堆里撿來的。”
The suggestion that homelessness can be cool chimes with a fashion trend that many have considered tasteless: in January, the designer Vivienne Westwood presented a "homeless chic" show in which models were styled to look like rough sleepers, a move prefigured by Ben Stiller's satirical film Zoolander, which featured a similar show called Derelicte.
這種“流浪美學(xué)”正應(yīng)了某種曾被認為“乏味”的時尚趨勢：今年一月，設(shè)計師Vivienne Westwood為人們獻上了一場名為“流浪美學(xué)”的時裝秀，在該秀中模特都被打扮成亂糟糟，睡眼惺忪的樣子；而本?斯蒂勒主演的喜劇電影《Zoolander》中亦有一場名為Derelicte的類似的秀。
But anyone with similar designs on Brother Sharp's sartorial tips is out of luck. His identity remains a secret, and social workers in Ningbo say they want to keep it that way. "Homeless people are vulnerable. It is incorrect to use them for entertainment purposes," said one worker at a homeless centre in Ningbo. Brother Sharp is said to appear mentally disturbed when approached on the street.
但并非所有人都如此幸運，任何盲目模仿犀利哥著裝品位的人都可能會“東施效顰”。他的身份仍然是個秘密，寧波的社會工作者說他們不會透露。“無家可歸的人很容易受傷害。出于娛樂的目的來炒作他們是錯誤的。”據(jù)說，當人們在街頭接近犀利哥時，他會表現(xiàn)出一定程度的精神障礙。
