《成人主题》

MATURE THEMES

一对通过手机交友软件认识的年轻男女约在了时髦的北京太古里第一次见面。尴尬的约会中他俩撞见子一大群尖叫的女孩。引发这股骚动的不是別人,就是贾斯汀·比伯。在保镖的严密包围下,比伯正踩着滑板回他下榻的瑜舍酒店——这座日本建筑师隈研吾设计的玻璃房子是北京艺术名媛及其外国友人们的最爱。一种洛杉矶式的景观似乎空降在了这个北京的地标。尽管B宝粉丝们在用中文嘶吼,但语言无关紧要。一种类似的景观在安德鲁·德宾的《成人主题》一书中得到了更复杂的体现。

ON AN AWKWARD first date in Beijing＇s chic shopping district Taikoo Li, a young couple--introduced through a mobile dating app-- runs into a crowd of screaming girls. The object of this mania is none other than Justin Bieber, returning to his lodging at the Opposite House, the Kengo Kuma-designed glass box hotel favored by artsy types, on a skateboard, fully encircled by bodyguards. An image of LA seemingly overlays itself onto one of the quintessential Beijing neighborhoods; the fact that the Beliebers shout in Chinese is inconsequential.
