《憨豆特工3》你知道闻名世界的“憨豆先生”其实是牛津博士吗？
《憨豆特工3》最近刚刚上映，这个英国国宝级喜剧大师，全世界几乎人人都认识的罗温·艾金森用15年的时间，塑造了这个“非典型特工”形象——憨豆特工。不管罗温·艾金森演什么喜剧角色，观众都会自然而然地想到憨豆。
"Johnny English 3" has just been released recently. This British national treasure comedy master, Rowan Atkinson, who is known by almost everyone all over the world, has spent 15 years creating this "atypical agent" image - Bean Agent. No matter what comedy role Rowan Atkinson plays, the audience will naturally think of Mr. Bean.
1955年1月6日，憨豆先生扮演者罗温·艾金森（Rowan Atkinson）出生。他是家中三兄弟最小的一个，小时候因为长相独特，经常受到同学的嘲笑，但这并不影响他成为学霸。他本科就读于纽卡斯尔大学电气工程专业，后来去牛津大学攻读硕士，最后竟取得了牛津大学电机工程博士学位。
On January 6, 1955, Mr. Bean was born as Rowan Atkinson. He is the youngest of the three brothers in his family. When he was young, he was often laughed at by his classmates because of his unique appearance, but this did not affect his becoming a hegemonic student. He studied electrical engineering at Newcastle University, then went to Oxford University for his master's degree, and finally got his doctorate in electrical engineering at Oxford University.
当演员只是机缘巧合。21岁时还在读硕士的他在爱丁堡艺术节上表演，被经纪人相中，两年后签约了英国著名的经纪公司。1990年，罗温·艾金森因出演《憨豆先生》而走红。《憨豆先生》的成功是炸裂式的，虽然在1990至1995年间只播出了14集，但是该剧横扫了英国电影和电视艺术奖、艾美奖等多个奖项，是90年代英国收视率最高的电视节目。
Being an actor is just a coincidence. At the age of 21, he was still a master's student performing at the Edinburgh Arts Festival. Among the brokers, he signed up with a famous British brokerage company two years later. In 1990, Rowan Atkinson became popular for his role in Mr Bean. Mr Bean's success is explosive. Although only 14 episodes were shown between 1990 and 1995, it swept through many awards, such as the British Film and Television Arts Award and Emmy Award. It was the highest-rated TV program in Britain in the 1990s.
这位作为世界喜剧大师的“憨豆先生”俘获了很多人的芳心，有趣的外表下住着一个有趣的灵魂。考试不去答题，却去和人比谁的铅笔更多、用电锯割开酒店的墙享用隔壁的浴室、边开车边刷牙换衣服......他就是同年里的恶作剧先锋。小时候每次认真看着他的这些把戏，都笑的肚子痛。
As a world comedy master, Mr. Bean captured many people's hearts. Under the interesting appearance, there lived an interesting soul. Instead of answering questions, he went to have more pencils than anyone else, cut the walls of the hotel with a saw, enjoyed the bathroom next door, brushed his teeth and changed his clothes while driving... He was the pioneer of pranks in the same year. Every time I watched his tricks carefully when I was a child, my stomach ached with laughter.
可是，戏外的Mr.Bean，罗温·艾金森63岁了。
实际上，罗温·艾金森在现实生活中是一个极其严肃的人。“很多人认为我能在舞台上让他们发笑，我就能在现实中让他们发笑。根本就不是那么回事。我本来是个相当安静，甚至有点乏味的人，只是碰巧成了演员而已。”难以想象，要演出那样行为怪异、毫无章法的呆子得下多大功夫。
But off-screen Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson, is 63 years old.
In fact, Rowan Atkinson is a very serious person in real life. "Many people think that if I can make them laugh on stage, I can make them laugh in reality. That's not the case at all. I was a rather quiet, even a little dull person, but I happened to be an actor. It's hard to imagine how hard it would take to perform such a weird, disorderly fool.
多年后，罗温评价憨豆：“他对社会怎么运行简直一无所知，笑点在于，他对问题独特又荒诞的处理方式，还有他在解决它们时，完全不考虑其他人的反应。”2015 年 9 月 4 日，为纪念《憨豆先生》开播 25 周年，罗温·艾金森带着他的小泰迪熊，开着那辆黄绿色的 MINI 亮相英国伦敦白金汉宫，重现《憨豆先生》片中的经典场景，再次唤起了大众的美好回忆。
Years later, Rowan commented on Bean: "He knows nothing about how society works. The laughing point is that he has a unique and absurd way of dealing with problems, and when he solves them, he completely ignores the reactions of others." On September 4, 2015, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson and his teddy bear drove the yellow-green MINI to Buckingham Palace in London, UK, to recreate the classic scenes in Mr. Bean, which once again aroused the good memories of the public.
这个牛津大学的高材生，虽然演了一辈子傻子，但现实中的他极具商业头脑，早在1986年他就与人合伙成立了Tiger Aspect Productions公司，公司旗下除了风靡世界的《憨豆先生》之外，还有其他电视剧集、电影、纪录片等，发展到今天，市值已达上亿英镑。
The top student of Oxford University, who has been a fool all his life, has a great business sense in reality. As early as 1986, he co-founded Tiger Aspect Productions. Besides Mr. Bean, which is popular in the world, there are other TV series, movies, documentaries and so on. Today, the market value has reached hundreds of millions of pounds.
赚了钱的艾金森没有忘记回馈社会，女儿进军唱片界，他只资助了一万英镑，但为非洲贫困地区他却捐款3亿美元，是个名符其实的慈善家。
Atkinson, who made money, did not forget to give back to society. His daughter entered the record industry. He only funded 10,000, but he donated 300 million to poor areas in Africa. He was a true philanthropist.
虽然艾金森已经63岁了，即使他越来越老，但人们心目中的憨豆永远年轻，正如他所说的：“憨豆是个有童真的人，他不会老，也不应该老。”
Although Atkinson is 63 years old, even though he is getting older and older, people think that Bean is always young, as he said: "Bean is a childlike person, he will not be old, nor should he be old."
