安吉丽娜·朱莉和布拉德·皮特婚姻告急？

 　　Angelina Jolie recently admitted that her life with Brad Pitt is far from a fairy tale, and that the Hollywood couple have their problems. The 40-year-old Oscar winner spoke¹ about their relationship in Vogue²'s November issue. She also clarified that their upcoming film, By The Sea, in which she stars with Pitt as a couple in the 1970s, "is not autobiographical."

　　安吉丽娜·朱莉近期坦承，她和布拉德·皮特的婚姻生活并不像童话故事那么美好，这对好莱坞夫妇也有他们自己的问题。现年40岁的奥斯卡得主朱莉在《服饰与美容》杂志（Vogue）11月刊中谈及他俩的关系。她还表示，虽然在新片《海岸情深》中二人再度合作，饰演一对生活在20世纪70年代的夫妇，但这并非他们婚姻生活“自传式”的写照。

　　"Brad and I have our issues, but if the characters were even remotely close to our problems we couldn't have made the film," Jolie told Vogue magazine in their November issue. "As artists we wanted something that took us out of our comfort zones. Just being raw actors. It's not the safest idea. But life is short."

　　“布拉德和我有我们自己的问题，但如果电影中角色的感情问题和我们有丝毫相关，我们就不会拍这部电影了，”朱莉在十一月号《Vogue》的采访中说道，“作为艺术家，我们也走出安逸，只做个新手。这不是最保险的做法，但生命短暂，要做的事还很多。” 作为艺术家，我们想要拍些更有挑战性的东西，而不只是表现自己。这不是最保险的想法，但生命短暂，值得一试。

　　Angelina Jolie directed the film, and the project marks the first time the couple has acted on screen together since 2005, when they fell in love on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

　　安吉丽娜·朱莉执导的这部电影标志着二人继《史密斯夫妇》后再度在银幕合作，2005年的《史密斯夫妇》是两人的定情之作。

　　Over the last few months, a possible divorce between the two Hollywood stars has often been spoken of. Citing a previous report from Hollywood Life, the magazine In Touch recently reported that one of the most stable marriages in Hollywood could come to an end. A source close to the famous couple allegedly revealed that Brad had filed for divorce from Angelina. The alleged³ reason is that the actor can no longer stand the pressure and control the actress has on him.

　　近几个月里，坊间一度传言这对好莱坞明星夫妇可能要离婚。美国的八卦杂志“接触”（intouch）最近引用了八卦网站“好莱坞生活”（Hollywood Life）此前的报道称，这对好莱坞感情最稳固的情侣之一可能要分道扬镳。一位与这对知名夫妇交好的知情人士称，因皮特受不了朱莉给他施加的压力和要控制她不让她给他施压，已向她提出离婚。

　　"He says she's controlled him from day one of their relationship," the source told the publication. "Although he liked her taking charge at first, he's come to resent the power he's allowed her to have over him."

　　“他说，从确立关系的第一天起她就一直束缚着他，”该消息人士说，“尽管最初他喜欢让她掌管一切，但渐渐地他开始厌恶这种被压迫的感觉。”

　　Furthermore, the drastic decrease in Angelina Jolie's weight is reportedly also causing problems in her marriage. A new report says the actor has given an ultimatum⁴ to his wife to seek help for her eating disorder⁵ or he will file for divorce. According to reports, Brad has tried for months to help Angelina with her weight loss battle, but it is believed that it is not helping⁶ at all. That's why this time, he has asked Jolie to seek intervention⁷ or else he will have no choice but to leave with their children.

　　此外，据悉，安吉丽娜·朱莉最近体重急剧下降，也成了他们婚姻问题的导火索。一项新的报告称，他给朱莉下了最后通牒，要求她寻求治疗饮食失调的方法，否则就要提出离婚。该报告还称，皮特几个月来一直试图帮助安吉丽娜同她的减重作斗争，但据说收效甚微。这就是为什么他这次才要求朱莉寻找其他方法，否则，他别无选择，只能带着孩子离开。

　　According to Star Pulse, the main concern about the mother of six is a reported "grave" health crisis that has left her down to a paltry⁸ 83 pounds.

　　据八卦网站“明星动态”（Star Pulse）消息称，这个六个孩子的母亲所面临的主要问题是“严峻的”健康危机，她现在体重已掉到不到83磅。

　　"She's always been thin, but it's never been this bad before. She's at an all-time low," said the source. "He's tried for months to help her, and Brad is at the end of his rope. He told her if she doesn't check into rehab for her eating disorder, he's leaving and taking the kids with him."

　　该消息人士说，“她一直很瘦，但从来没这么瘦过，这是她有史以来最轻的体重了。”皮特几个月来一直试图帮她，其实他也别无他法了。皮特告诉她，如果她不去康复中心治疗厌食症，他就要带着孩子离开她。

　　The tabloid⁹ suggested that Angelina and Brad have had serious fights about her alleged anorexia¹⁰ for nearly a year. The constant arguments have reportedly affected¹¹ the actor. However, a report from Gossip Cop claims to debunk¹² the allegation, calling the report "totally untrue."

　　该小报还认为，将近一年时间，朱莉和皮特都因为这个传闻中的厌食症打得不可开交。据悉，不断的争吵给皮特带来不小的影响。然而，网站“八卦警察”（Gossip Cop）对这一报道进行了反驳，称它“完全失实”。

　　The following text is an excerpt¹³ from Gossip Cop's report saying that the divorce rumors¹⁴ are false.

　　下面这段话摘自“八卦警察”对离婚传言进行辟谣的报道：

　　"This is all very dramatic and, more importantly, inaccurate¹⁵. The magazine has a shameful¹⁶ history of making up claims about the couple, and using Jolie's health and body to do so is the true 'all-time low.' A source close to the stars exclusively tells Gossip Cop the report is 'totally untrue,' not to mention despicable."

　　“这个说法很戏剧化，更重要的是，完全失实。这个杂志一直以来有着捏造关于皮特夫妇传言的黑历史，用朱莉的健康和身体状况来做噱头才是最可耻的。 一位与皮特夫妇交好的线人向Gossip Cop独家爆料，这个报道’完全是胡编乱造’， 而且低劣至极。”
