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,安吉麗娜出生于美國洛杉磯。她非常熱愛電影,為了追尋她的明星夢,她開始了表演課程的學習。她非常叛逆,并把自己的頭發染成了紫色,身上還紋了紋身,成為了朋克一族。她的演繹事業在1997年開始了飛騰,在短短幾年時間里,她贏得了奧斯卡。2001年,她在電影“古墓麗影”中飾演的勞拉·克羅夫讓成為了國際明星。
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.
安吉麗娜的事業并不只限于表演。在柬埔寨拍攝期間,她還干起了人道主義工作。目前,安吉麗娜成為了聯合國高級難民署特使,前往了許多貧困國家的難民營。她還資助了許多生活窘困的人民。她有效地利用了自己的知名度來解決世界問題。
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,朱莉的個人生活讓她的事業黯然失色。街頭小報充斥著她的私人情感問題,特別是與布拉德·皮特的關系。如今,這對夫妻不再代表布拉德和安吉麗娜,而是“Brangelina”。每天似乎更關注他們的吃穿住行,而不是安吉麗娜的人道主義工作。
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.
幫助其他人才真是安吉麗娜的動力所在。2001年,她說:“我們不能把自己封閉起來,忽視那些至今仍有上百萬人生活悲慘的人民。”除了她所獲得的表演獎項,她的人道主義工作也為她贏得了廣泛的聲譽。她還是首位獲得聯合國世界公民獎的得主。她所獲得的榮譽似乎將不止這些。
