朱莉大談育兒經 感慨"當媽很累"

Forget being an A-list movie star: Angelina Jolie finds being a mother the tougher job.

拋開作爲好萊塢一線女星的身份，在安吉麗娜-朱莉看來，作爲一位母親纔是一份更具挑戰的工作。

The Oscar-winning actress raises six children, Maddox, nine, Pax, seven, Zahara, five, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne with partner Brad Pitt, and admits having such a large family can be quite hard and she often finds it more relaxing when she’s out at work.

這位獲得過奧斯卡獎女演員與伴侶布拉德-比特共同撫養有六個孩子，九歲的Maddox、七歲的Pax、五歲的Zahara、四歲的Shiloh以及一雙兩歲的雙胞胎Knox和Vivienne。對朱莉來說，操持這一大家子人的確不是件容易之事，在她看來，有時候在外工作反而成了一衆放鬆。

She said: “When me or Brad go away and work on films it gives us a bit of a break from the daily routine of being in the house and looking after the kids. You get spoiled on a film set and in some ways it’s easier to be working long hours on a movie than taking care of a large family just because you do get very tired at the end of the day.

她說：“有時候我或布拉德出去拍電影，這反而成了一種‘休息’的機會，它讓我們遠離日常生活起居和照看孩子們的這些事情。你在片場就不用擔心這些事情，所以在某種程度上來說，長時間的拍攝電影要比照看家務來得輕鬆不少，因爲對於後者來說，你每天都會累得精疲力竭。”

“I felt that way especially after the twins were born because the demands on your time are so great. It meant that Brad had to spend a lot more time with the other kids because mommy was too busy or tired.”

Although Angelina often finds being a mother-of-six exhausting, she knows how lucky she is to still have a successful career and the support of Brad.

“特別是在雙胞胎出生以後，我的時間就變得更加緊張了，這也就意味了布拉德不得不花更多的時間和其他的孩子呆在一起，因爲這對雙胞胎就已經夠我忙了。”

She added to Britain’s Hello! magazine: “I’m very grateful to be in a position where I can still work and enjoy that creative part of my life and not feel like I’m neglecting my responsibilities as a mother. I also love having a man like Brad who enjoys looking after the kids the way he does, because it’s a lot of work.”

儘管要帶六個孩子的確時間累人的活，但安吉麗娜還是慶幸自己有成功的事業，以及來自布拉德的支持。她告訴英國的《Hello！》雜誌：“我目前仍可工作並且享受這些充滿創意與靈感之事，與此同時可以肩負好做母親的責任，對此我非常感激感激。另外，有一個像布拉德這樣願意照顧孩子的伴侶真是件幸運的事，因爲那真不是件輕鬆的活兒。”
