世界名人简介 第6期:安吉丽娜·朱莉（在线收听） |
Angelina was born in LA in 1976. She loved movies and started acting classes to follow her dream of movie stardom. She was rebellious and became a punk with dyed purple hair and tattoos. Her movie career took offin 1997 and within a few years she had won an Oscar. Her 2001 role as Lara Croft in the blockbuster “TombRaider” shot her to international fame. 1976年，安吉丽娜出生于美国洛杉矶。她非常热爱电影，为了追寻她的明星梦，她开始了表演课程的学习。她非常叛逆，并把自己的头发染成了紫色，身上还纹了纹身，成为了朋克一族。她的演绎事业在1997年开始了飞腾，在短短几年时间里，她赢得了奥斯卡。2001年，她在电影“古墓丽影”中饰演的劳拉·克罗夫让成为了国际明星。
Angelina hasn’t limited her career to acting. She became involved in humanitarian work while filming in Cambodia. She is now a UN Goodwill Ambassador, visiting refugee camps in poor countries. She donates large sums of money to help the plight of underprivileged people. She has effectively used her stardom to highlight world problems.
安吉丽娜的事业并不只限于表演。在柬埔寨拍摄期间，她还干起了人道主义工作。目前，安吉丽娜成为了联合国高级难民署特使，前往了许多贫困国家的难民营。她还资助了许多生活窘困的人民。她有效地利用了自己的知名度来解决世界问题。
Unfortunately, Jolie’s personal life has come to overshadow her other pursuits. The tabloids are obsessedwith her relationships, especially the current one with Brad Pitt. The couple is now referred to not as Brad and Angelina but as “Brangelina”. The media seem more caught up with what they eat and drink than theimportant humanitarian work Angelina continues to do.
不幸的是，朱莉的个人生活让她的事业黯然失色。街头小报充斥着她的私人情感问题，特别是与布拉德·皮特的关系。如今，这对夫妻不再代表布拉德和安吉丽娜，而是“Brangelina”。每天似乎更关注他们的吃穿住行，而不是安吉丽娜的人道主义工作。
Helping other people is what truly motivates Angelina. In 2001, she said: “We cannot close ourselves off…and ignore the fact that millions of people are out there suffering.” In addition to acting awards, shehas received wide recognition for her humanitarian work. She became the first winner of the UN’s Citizen of the World Award. It seems likely more accolades will follow.
帮助其他人才真是安吉丽娜的动力所在。2001年，她说：“我们不能把自己封闭起来，忽视那些至今仍有上百万人生活悲惨的人民。”除了她所获得的表演奖项，她的人道主义工作也为她赢得了广泛的声誉。她还是首位获得联合国世界公民奖的得主。她所获得的荣誉似乎将不止这些。
