Unit 16 Angelina Jolie
第16单元 安吉丽娜·朱莉

Most people are familiar with the movie star Angelina Jolie. Her stunning features, casual look and glowing personality are hard to miss even if you are not a tabloid reader or a movie buff; she just stands out; it is as simple as that.

大多数人都听过电影明星安吉丽娜·朱莉的名字，即使小报读者或者电影迷，也很难不注意到她出色的容貌，自然风和古道热肠。简单来说，她就是这么的引人注目。

Perhaps the reason why she stands out from the rest of the celebrity crowd is that she has the inner beauty that shines so bright. This glow we see is her good heart and desire to help underprivileged people.

也许她之所以能比其他名人引人注目的原因，是因为她的内心也美得夺目，这份灿烂来自于她有一副好心肠且渴望帮助穷人。

Becoming an UN ambassador a few years ago gave her the opportunity to travel around the world helping refugees. Most people wouldn't choose to leave their lavish lifestyle to live in tents and eat simple foods like rice, but for Angelina Jolie it's not a problem. She finds its easy to sacrifice her life of luxury to be with people who need help.

她几年前成为联合国大使，这让她有机会环游世界帮助难民。大部分人不愿意选择离开奢侈繁华的生活，住在帐篷，吃着稻米之类的简单食物；但对于安吉丽娜·朱莉来说并不是问题，她觉得牺牲奢侈的生活，与那些需要帮助的人在一起并不难。

Taking her humanitarian efforts one step further, she adopted a Cambodian boy named Maddox. More than just a movie star, Angelina Jolie is a shining star to people around the world.

她更进一步落实人道主义，认养了一个名叫梅铎斯的柬埔寨男孩。对于全世界的人来说，安吉丽娜·朱莉并不只是电影明星，而是闪耀的巨星。
