What Was Brangelina?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie leaving dinner in Ho Chi Minh City in November 2006.
2006 年 11 月，布拉德·皮特和安吉丽娜·朱莉在胡志明市吃完晚餐后离开。
Photo: AFP via Getty Images At the June 2005 premiere of Mr. & Mrs. Smith , it didn’t matter that Brad Pitt was casually rocking a shock of peroxide-blond hair, distressed jeans, and a deep-brown leather jacket, all working hard to distract from his ecstasy of a smile.
照片：AFP via Getty Images 在 2005 年 6 月的《史密斯夫妇》首映式上，布拉德·皮特随意地摇晃着一头氧化金色的头发，穿着仿旧牛仔裤和深棕色皮夹克，这一切都在努力分散他那狂喜的微笑的注意力，但这并不重要。
He was a vision, and so was Angelina Jolie .
他是一个愿景，安吉丽娜·朱莉也是。
When she charged from the back of a limo in a black gown (also leather), tits hiked to the heavens, chestnut-brown hair slicked back off her face, it’s no wonder the crowd swelled in volume.
当她穿着黑色长袍（同样是皮革）从豪华轿车后座冲过来时，乳头高耸入云，栗棕色的头发从脸上滑落，难怪人群越来越多。
Pitt and Jolie never actually got that close to each other at the event; in most of the pictures taken of them, others fill the frame.
皮特和朱莉在这次活动中实际上从未如此亲密。在他们拍摄的大多数照片中，其他人都占据了画面。
But one photographer did manage to capture them together.
但一位摄影师确实成功地将它们捕捉到了。
Physically they remain apart, his body facing the opposite direction and awkwardly blocking half the shot.
从身体上看，他们保持分开，他的身体面向相反的方向，笨拙地挡住了一半的射门。
But her eyes, beaming his way, tell a story of closeness.
但她的眼睛向他投来光芒，讲述着一个亲密的故事。
Here are two heavenly bodies, each outshining everyone in their path, poised to become the greatest couple of the modern age.
这是两个天体，每个人都比他们道路上的每个人都耀眼，准备成为现代最伟大的情侣。
This was a different time in the history of stardom.
这是明星历史上的一个不同时期。
Social media wasn’t a compulsory platform upon which famous people could play out their lives as if they were at all relatable to ours.
社交媒体并不是一个强制性的平台，名人可以在上面展示他们的生活，就好像他们与我们的生活完全相关一样。
IP hadn’t yet become king, so studios still warred with one another over who could attract the most compelling names and faces rather than dusty franchise rights.
知识产权尚未成为王者，因此工作室仍在互相争斗，争论谁能吸引最引人注目的名字和面孔，而不是尘土飞扬的特许经营权。
Pitt and Jolie were actors, yes, and they were celebrities too, but they had each individually earned a label not every actor or celebrity can: movie star.
皮特和朱莉是演员，是的，他们也是名人，但他们每个人都获得了一个不是每个演员或名人都能获得的标签：电影明星。
It’s a distinction that refers to more than just sex appeal and charisma and points to a figure’s ability to, as film historian Jeanine Basinger puts it, make myth and ritual out of themselves.
正如电影历史学家珍妮·贝辛格（Jeanine Basinger）所说，这种区别不仅仅指的是性感和魅力，还指的是一个人物创造神话和仪式的能力。
A month before their show of prim civility at the premiere of their first movie together, Pitt and Jolie, clearly coupled up, would be featured on the cover of Us Weekly with Jolie’s young son Maddox on a Kenyan beach.
在他们的第一部电影首映式上表现出拘谨的礼貌之前一个月，皮特和朱莉显然是情侣，他们和朱莉的小儿子马多克斯在肯尼亚海滩一起出现在《美国周刊》的封面上。
The paparazzi photo added certainty to the rumors that their affair had begun on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, torpedoing Pitt’s “golden couple” marriage to Jennifer Aniston.
狗仔队的照片进一步证实了他们的恋情始于《史密斯夫妇》片场的谣言，破坏了皮特与詹妮弗·安妮斯顿的“黄金情侣”婚姻。
This was around the same time that the Sun ran a story that said “Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made so much noise during a hotel romp that other guests thought they had been attacked by wild animals.”
大约在同一时间，《太阳报》刊登了一篇报道，称“布拉德·皮特和安吉丽娜·朱莉在酒店嬉戏时发出如此大的噪音，其他客人都以为他们受到了野生动物的袭击。”

Photo: WireImage Whether people were fawning over their union, lambasting it, or cheekily sending it up with TEAM JOLIE shirts, as Paris Hilton once did, everyone was obsessed.
照片：WireImage 无论人们是奉承他们的工会、痛斥它，还是像帕丽斯·希尔顿 (Paris Hilton) 曾经那样厚颜无耻地用 TEAM JOLIE 衬衫送给他们，每个人都着迷。
They were two people seemingly at the peak of their beauty, influence, and power.
他们两个人似乎正处于美丽、影响力和权力的顶峰。
And part of the appeal was in how diametrically opposed their reputations were.
部分吸引力在于他们的声誉是多么截然相反。
He was the Missouri-raised, laid-back pretty boy who made it out to Hollywood.
他是一个在密苏里州长大、悠闲的漂亮男孩，后来闯入了好莱坞。
She was the wild child, and her relationship to the industry was inherited.
她是个野孩子，她与这个行业的关系是遗传的。
They seemed to inhabit such different worlds that parsing what exactly brought them together made them all the more intriguing.
他们似乎生活在如此不同的世界中，分析到底是什么让他们走到一起让他们变得更加有趣。
As a couple, Pitt and Jolie offered what all great stars do: a fantasy, as out of reach as it is alluring.
作为一对情侣，皮特和朱莉提供了所有伟大明星都会做的事情：一种遥不可及却又诱人的幻想。
In their decade-long union, they transformed from a lasciviously adulterous, sexed-up power couple to a more gently constructed, philanthropic team defined as much by their capacity for good as their astounding beauty and talent.
在他们长达十年的结合中，他们从一对淫荡、通奸、性感的权力夫妇转变为一个结构更加温和、慈善的团队，他们的行善能力和令人惊叹的美丽和才华同样重要。
Until the fantasy cracked in 2016, when Jolie announced she was filing for divorce after a plane ride during which Pitt allegedly injured Jolie and their children while on a drunken rampage.
直到2016年这个幻想破灭，当时朱莉在乘坐飞机时宣布提出离婚，据称皮特在乘坐飞机时醉酒横冲直撞，伤害了朱莉和他们的孩子。
Their separation has stretched on for years as they’ve fought over custody of their children; in recent months, their legal battles entered the public conversation, centered on their once-shared winery, with Jolie leveling more serious accusations of abuse at Pitt.
由于争夺孩子的监护权，他们的分居已经持续了很多年。近几个月来，他们的法律斗争进入了公众视野，焦点集中在他们曾经共用的酒庄上，朱莉对皮特提出了更严重的虐待指控。
The divorce proceedings aren’t just a story of assets divided — they will test their respective places in the popular imagination.
离婚诉讼不仅仅是一个资产分割的故事——它们将考验各自在大众想象中的地位。
Because Brangelina was always just that: an enchantment that was shored up in the media, and that Pitt has been far better at maintaining in the long run.
因为布兰吉利娜一直就是这样：一种在媒体中得到支持的魅力，而从长远来看，皮特在维持这种魅力方面要好得多。
July 2005: A 60-page spread in W magazine.
2005 年 7 月：W 杂志上的 60 页跨页。
The image-making power of Brangelina was first exercised in the pages of a bombshell July 2005 issue of W magazine.
Brangelina 的形象塑造能力首次在 2005 年 7 月号的《W》杂志上展现出来。
Here was the start of a yearslong collaboration in media, spanning gossip rags and the refined pages of fashion magazines.

Slyly titled “Domestic Bliss,” the portfolio by photographer Steven Klein featured the couple in 1960s styling and chilly Douglas Sirk–esque color schemes.

A gaggle of blond children dutifully bow their heads to say grace at the dinner table with Pitt and Jolie framed as their acutely fashionable parents.

Tension simmers as she examines her immaculate manicure in a Luisa Beccaria silk dress; he broods over her shoulder in a Thom Browne suit.
当她穿着路易莎·贝卡里亚 (Luisa Beccaria) 丝绸连衣裙检查自己完美无瑕的指甲时，紧张气氛在酝酿。他穿着 Thom Browne 西装，在她肩头沉思。
She’s unconsciously supine, made to appear in a pill-addled haze, wearing a magenta Narciso Rodriguez wool and silk crêpe dress as he, in a suit sans jacket — as if he just got home and is not quite eager to clean her mess — kneels to scoop her up.
她无意识地仰卧着，看上去陷入了一片药丸迷蒙的迷雾中，穿着一件洋红色纳西索·罗德里格斯羊毛和丝绸绉纱连衣裙，而他穿着西装，没有夹克——好像他刚回到家，不太急于清理她的烂摊子——跪下把她抱起来。
Page after page of it.
一页又一页。
A gourmand’s dark thrill.
美食家的黑暗快感。
The W shoot, which Pitt reportedly had a hand in conceptualizing, is a study in harnessing the power of transgression.
据报道，《W》的拍摄是皮特参与构思的，这是一项利用越轨力量的研究。
Pitt goes darker, while Jolie plays into a refined side of her sultry image.
皮特变得更加阴暗，而朱莉则展现出她性感形象中精致的一面。
It felt bracing considering the images they had fashioned before.
考虑到他们之前塑造的形象，这让人感到振奋。
Before he met Jolie, Pitt was known for his casual cool onscreen; he was not just a heartthrob but the heartthrob in films as varied as his breakout, Thelma & Louise , and ’90s melodramas like Legends of the Fall .
在遇到朱莉之前，皮特以其银幕上的休闲酷而闻名。他不仅是万人迷，而且是各种电影中的万人迷，包括他的突破《塞尔玛与路易丝》，以及 90 年代的情节剧《秋季传奇》。
His relationship with sitcom sweetheart Aniston, whose California lifestyle and sun-kissed gorgeousness was and remains key to her beloved, approachable image, coincided with an increased lightness in his work in the late ’90s and early aughts with Ocean’s Eleven and The Mexican .
他与情景喜剧甜心安妮斯顿的关系，与他在 90 年代末和早期与《十一罗汉》和《墨西哥人》的作品中日益轻松的时期相吻合，安妮斯顿的加州生活方式和阳光下的美丽过去是、现在仍然是她深受喜爱、平易近人的形象的关键。
( Fight Club , with its homoerotic machismo and social commentary, was an outlier.)
（《搏击俱乐部》因其同性大男子主义和社会评论而成为一个例外。）
If Pitt was an idol beaming sunshine wherever he went, Jolie was all edge, wild and sexy and tactile.
如果说皮特是一个无论走到哪里都散发着阳光的偶像，那么朱莉就是一个锋芒毕露、狂野、性感、富有触觉的人。
The early imagery that comes to mind is from her life offscreen: a vial of blood dangling from her neck, those famous lips spread into a smile as she and second husband, Billy Bob Thornton — who ghosted fiancée Laura Dern to marry her — wax poetic on a red carpet about fucking in the back of the car on the way there.
脑海中浮现出的早期画面来自她银幕之外的生活：脖子上挂着一小瓶血，当她和第二任丈夫比利·鲍勃·松顿（Billy Bob Thornton）——他幽灵未婚妻劳拉·邓恩（Laura Dern）娶了她——在红地毯上充满诗意地谈论在去那里的路上在汽车后座做爱时，那双著名的嘴唇展开微笑。
It’s her swimming in a pool in her gown at a Golden Globes after-party in 1999.
这是 1999 年金球奖颁奖典礼后，她穿着礼服在泳池里游泳的照片。
It’s her nearly making out with her brother after winning an Oscar in 2000 before she was 25, decked in all black, a modern Morticia Addams.
2000 年，她赢得奥斯卡奖后，25 岁之前，她几乎和她的兄弟亲热，一身黑衣，就像现代的莫蒂西亚·亚当斯 (Morticia Addams)。
But Jolie also projected a depth that made her next moves both understandable and surprising.
但朱莉也表现出一种深度，使她的下一步行动既可以理解又令人惊讶。
By the time she met Pitt, she was turning a corner, having taken on the responsibilities of a UNHCR ambassador in 2001 and adopting her first son, Maddox, in 2002.
当她遇到皮特时，她正处于人生的转折点，她于 2001 年承担了联合国难民署大使的职责，并于 2002 年收养了她的第一个儿子马多克斯。
Jolie was a woman in the midst of an evolution.
朱莉是一位正处于变革之中的女性。
The W shoot would cement another idea of her that was already starting to form.
《W》的拍摄巩固了她已经开始形成的另一个想法。
Shortly before it came out, Pitt gave an interview with Diane Sawyer in which she grilled him about their relationship: “Did Angelina break up your marriage?” Sawyer asks bluntly.
在该书出版前不久，皮特接受了黛安·索耶的采访，黛安·索耶在采访中质问了他两人的关系：“安吉丽娜破坏了你的婚姻吗？”索耶直言不讳地问道。
Pitt responds with a swift “no” before Sawyer speaks to Jolie’s reputation: “Everyone says she’s a home-wrecker.” Pitt gets to the heart of the matter in his response: “It’s a good story.”
在索耶谈到朱莉的声誉之前，皮特迅速回答说“不”：“每个人都说她是一个家庭破坏者。”皮特在回应中触及了问题的核心：“这是一个好故事。”
The supposed love triangle, which continued to grace the pages of trashy magazines up until the divorce, reflects an age-old dynamic that Hollywood and tabloids love to juice, dating back to when Elizabeth Taylor married Eddie Fisher, severing his marriage with Debbie Reynolds: the sexy, dangerous “other woman,” the heartbroken blonde sweetheart, and the man somehow caught in the middle.
离婚前，所谓的三角恋一直出现在垃圾杂志的页面上，反映了好莱坞和小报喜欢渲染的一种古老的动态，可以追溯到伊丽莎白·泰勒与埃迪·费舍尔结婚时，切断了他与黛比·雷诺兹的婚姻：性感、危险的“另一个女人”，心碎的金发情人，以及不知何故夹在中间的男人。
The way Pitt and Jolie’s union was written about allowed people to project larger ideas about womanhood, desire, and America’s puritanical obsession with adultery.
皮特和朱莉的结合的描写方式让人们对女性气质、欲望和美国清教徒式的通奸痴迷产生了更大的想法。
But the tense dynamic with Aniston is actually the least interesting aspect of Pitt and Jolie’s relationship.
但与安妮斯顿的紧张关系实际上是皮特和朱莉关系中最无趣的方面。
What’s most compelling is how they elevated each other in the public eye.
最引人注目的是他们如何在公众眼中互相提升。
In many ways, they each offered the other a different kind of legitimacy and power.
在许多方面，他们各自为对方提供了不同类型的合法性和权力。
For him, it was the legitimacy of high-minded activism, the idea that he was deeper than his screen image, who chomped on food with gusto and had a light, almost breezy touch.
对他来说，这是高尚的激进主义的合法性，他比银幕形象更深刻，他津津有味地咀嚼着食物，动作轻快，几乎是轻快的。
For her, it’s less straightforward: The relationship reaffirmed that Jolie’s stardom was born of a private life made public.
对她来说，事情就没那么简单了：这段关系再次证明了朱莉的明星地位源于公开的私生活。
Pitt was a magnet for the ravenous press, and she gained a level of visibility she hadn’t quite inhabited before .
皮特吸引了贪婪的媒体，她获得了前所未有的知名度。
But it also bolstered her as an artist, a reciprocal dynamic that would persist throughout their relationship.
但这也支撑了她作为一名艺术家的地位，这种互惠的动力将在他们的整个关系中持续存在。
He became a producer-kingmaker who worked with modern auteurs; she started her career as a director .
他成为了一位与现代导演合作的制片人、造王者。她以导演的身份开始了她的职业生涯。
Together, they vaulted into an artistic, charitable second chapter.
他们一起进入了艺术、慈善的第二篇章。
We’re constantly in competition with each other,” Jolie told Vogue during a January 2007 cover-story interview.
我们一直在相互竞争，”朱莉在 2007 年 1 月的封面故事采访中告诉《Vogue》。
“We push each other to be better.
“我们互相督促对方变得更好。
Even if it’s just a better bike rider or a better pilot.” The article is a profile of Jolie, but the most crucial picture is the one Annie Leibovitz took of the couple together on an airstrip off Route 40 with a crew of 50.
即使只是一个更好的自行车骑手或更好的飞行员。”这篇文章是对朱莉的简介，但最重要的是安妮·莱博维茨 (Annie Leibovitz) 在 40 号公路旁的飞机跑道上拍摄的这对夫妇和 50 名机组人员一起拍摄的照片。
Jolie is in a Rag & Bone trench coat and leather pants, hair billowing off her face, eyes trained to the sandy ground, while Pitt, perched on a motorcycle, stares eagerly at her from behind a pair of sunglasses.
朱莉穿着 Rag & Bone 风衣和皮裤，头发从脸上飘扬，眼睛盯着沙地，而皮特坐在摩托车上，戴着墨镜，热切地盯着她。
Here are two millionaires racing each other on bikes and piloting airplanes for the vertiginous pleasure of it.
两位百万富翁骑着自行车和驾驶飞机相互竞赛，以获得令人眩晕的乐趣。
The allure of their partnership as it settled into its comfortable rhythms was that it was a symbiotic one — a rarity for heterosexual unions of this visibility.
当他们的伙伴关系适应了舒适的节奏时，其吸引力在于它是一种共生关系——对于这种可见度的异性结合来说是罕见的。
By this time, they had three kids — Maddox, Zahara, and Shiloh (Pax would join the family two months later) — and were embarking on a new phase in their public lives.
此时，他们已经有了三个孩子——马多克斯、扎哈拉和希洛（两个月后帕克斯加入了这个家庭）——并开始了他们公共生活的新阶段。
The cover story, in which Jolie opened up for the first time about her romance with Pitt, set the tone for their early years together.
在封面故事中，朱莉首次公开了她与皮特的恋情，为他们早年的相处定下了基调。
They were gallivanting adventurers (Jolie flew her own single-engine plane to the shoot and took both the feature writer and Leibovitz into the air).
他们是英勇的冒险家（朱莉驾驶自己的单引擎飞机前往拍摄，并将专题作家和莱博维茨都带到了空中）。
They were peripatetic, bouncing from India to Ethiopia back to Southern California.
他们四处漂泊，从印度到埃塞俄比亚，再到南加州。
They put their growing family first.
他们把成长中的家庭放在第一位。
They were hyperaware of how the flashing cameras crowded their lives but eager to use that attention to spotlight the causes that mattered to them.
他们非常清楚闪烁的摄像机如何挤满了他们的生活，但渴望利用这种注意力来关注对他们来说重要的原因。
The profile doesn’t foreground the specific work of their activism so much as the reasons that brought them to it — their family — as well as how it influenced their decisions as actors.
该简介并没有突出他们的行动主义的具体工作，而是强调了他们参与其中的原因——他们的家庭——以及它如何影响他们作为演员的决定。
Discussing her role in A Mighty Heart as the wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl, Jolie talks about her real-life friendship with the woman she plays: “We have a lot of things in common.
在谈到她在《强大的心》中饰演被杀记者丹尼尔·珀尔的妻子时，朱莉谈到了她与她所扮演的女人在现实生活中的友谊：“我们有很多共同点。
Mariane worked for many years in radio and journalism in different areas of migration.
玛丽安在不同移民地区从事广播和新闻工作多年。
So obviously my working with refugees …
很明显我与难民一起工作......
we have just great discussions about a lot of women’s issues and issues to do with children that we both care a lot about.”
我们刚刚就我们都非常关心的许多妇女问题和与儿童有关的问题进行了精彩的讨论。”

The public was well aware of how they leveraged their fame to support the causes dear to them; they reportedly earned $4 million for a People magazine cover of Shiloh in 2006, $2 million for a cover featuring Pax in 2007, and $14 million for a cover with the twins the following year.
公众很清楚他们如何利用自己的名声来支持他们所珍视的事业；据报道，2006 年，他们为《人物》杂志拍摄《Shiloh》封面，赚了 400 万美元；2007 年，为《Pax》拍摄封面，赚了 200 万美元；次年，为双胞胎拍摄封面，赚了 1,400 万美元。
(Around the same time, Pitt would pledge $5 million in matching donations to his Make It Right campaign, which sought to build sustainable housing in areas of New Orleans devastated by Hurricane Katrina.) If Vogue and Vanity Fair appreciated the luxurious scope of their globe-trotting partnership, People was crucial to the coverage of their sacrificial philanthropy.
（大约在同一时间，皮特承诺为他的“Make It Right”运动提供 500 万美元的等额捐款，该运动旨在在遭受卡特里娜飓风破坏的新奥尔良地区建造可持续住房。）如果说《Vogue》和《名利场》欣赏他们在全球范围内合作的奢华范围，那么《People》对于报道他们的牺牲性慈善事业至关重要。
At the 2008 Independent Spirit Awards, Jolie was nominated for Best Female Lead for her performance in A Mighty Heart.
在 2008 年独立精神奖上，朱莉凭借在《坚强的心》中的表演获得最佳女主角提名。
The film did poorly at the box office, but it was warmly received by critics and awards bodies.
该片票房成绩不佳，但受到评论家和颁奖机构的热烈欢迎。
Pitt produced the film under his Plan B shingle.
皮特在他的 B 计划下制作了这部电影。
(The production company was initially a joint Pitt-Aniston venture — she would reportedly retain only a minor stake after their divorce.
（该制作公司最初是皮特和安妮斯顿的合资企业——据报道，他们离婚后她只保留了少量股份。
Aniston had previously said she was excited about “nurturing” A Mighty Heart and that she was considering playing Mariane herself.) As Mariane, Jolie gives a gently forceful performance that demonstrates a perceptiveness and dramatic skill that she would only intermittently develop onscreen.
安妮斯顿此前曾表示，她对“培养”一颗强大的心感到兴奋，并正在考虑亲自扮演玛丽安。）饰演玛丽安的朱莉的表演温和而有力，展现了她在银幕上间歇性发展的洞察力和戏剧技巧。
In hindsight, it is easy to see what all the emotional grit and sharp acting overshadowed at the time.
事后看来，很容易看出当时所有的情感勇气和敏锐的表演都黯然失色。
In order to inhabit Mariane, Jolie wears a curly wig and dark contacts and has a slightly tanner skin tone to reflect that she is a light-skinned Black woman, born to an Afro-Cuban mother and Dutch father.
为了模仿玛丽安，朱莉戴着卷曲的假发和深色隐形眼镜，肤色略为棕褐色，以反映她是一位浅肤色的黑人女性，母亲是非裔古巴人，父亲是荷兰人。
This blackface — let’s name it what it is — was only critiqued and reframed in later years: Was this a family of delightful altruism or white saviorism?
这个黑脸——让我们管它叫什么吧——在后来的几年里才受到批评和重新定义：这是一个令人愉快的利他主义家庭还是白人救世主？
It is possible to hold two truths — that Jolie is a loving mother and that the adoption of children of color by rich white people is at best complicated and at worst exploitative.
有两个事实是可能的：朱莉是一位慈爱的母亲，富有的白人收养有色人种孩子，往好里说是复杂的，往坏了说是剥削性的。
But who could think about that?
但谁能想到这一点呢？
At the Indie Spirit Awards, wearing a simple black dress and gentle waves in her hair, Jolie revealed that she was pregnant.
在独立精神奖上，朱莉穿着简单的黑色连衣裙，头发梳着柔和的波浪，透露自己怀孕了。
Pitt, in aviators and a tan suit, looked like he’d taken a page from Robert Redford’s book.
皮特穿着飞行员墨镜和棕褐色西装，看上去就像是从罗伯特·雷德福的书中抄袭了一页。
They were two glittering supernovas in love.
他们是两个闪闪发光的热恋超新星。
Jolie went on to nab a Best Actress nomination for A Mighty Heart from the NAACP itself.
朱莉随后凭借《坚强的心》获得了全国有色人种协进会本身的最佳女演员提名。
February 26, 2012: The infamous leg moment at the Oscars.
2012 年 2 月 26 日：奥斯卡颁奖典礼上臭名昭著的腿部时刻。
Photo: WireImage The beginning of the end of Jolie and Pitt’s intertwined star personae became evident with a single pale leg jutting dramatically out of a black velvet Versace gown at the 2012 Academy Awards.
照片：WireImage 2012 年奥斯卡颁奖典礼上，朱莉和皮特交织在一起的明星形象的终结开始变得明显，一条苍白的腿从黑色天鹅绒范思哲礼服中戏剧性地伸出。
They were at the Oscars that year in support of Pitt’s Best Actor nomination for his gently affecting performance in Moneyball.
那一年，他们出席了奥斯卡颁奖典礼，支持皮特因在《点球成金》中温柔动人的表演而获得最佳男主角提名。
By that point, the couple had settled into a more domestic rhythm; they had the twins, and they would get engaged that year despite once stating they wouldn’t marry until everyone in the country could (they wed in 2014).
到那时，这对夫妇已经适应了更加家庭化的节奏。他们生下了双胞胎，并于当年订婚，尽管他们曾表示，除非全国所有人都可以结婚，否则他们不会结婚（他们于 2014 年结婚）。
Whatever sizzle bolstered their early relationship had been replaced by a more traditional vision of romance.
无论他们早期的关系有多么热闹，都已经被更传统的浪漫愿景所取代。
On the red carpet that day, Jolie positioned herself in photographs with an uncharacteristic lack of grace, her gown’s thigh-high slit calling attention to the way she stretched her leg out for dramatic effect.
那天在红地毯上，朱莉在照片中一反常态地缺乏优雅，她的礼服开叉高至大腿，让人注意到她伸展双腿以获得戏剧效果的方式。
An endless ream of memes lambasting the actress for seeming forced in her sexiness followed, placing her leg on a variety of figures or doubling it on the other side to make her look like a couture crab.
随之而来的是无数的表情包，指责这位女演员似乎被迫表现出性感，将她的腿放在各种人物上，或者在另一侧对折，让她看起来像一只时装螃蟹。
It was the first time she seemed like a punch line.
这是她第一次显得像个妙语。
The next year, Jolie wrote a New York Times op-ed about her decision to have a double mastectomy owing to a gene that increased her risk of breast cancer.
第二年，朱莉写了一篇《纽约时报》专栏文章，讲述了她因一种基因增加了患乳腺癌风险而决定进行双侧乳房切除术的决定。
It was nothing like the leg moment — she was congratulated by a handful of celebrities, and the article led to what doctors dubbed the “Angelina Jolie Effect,” a spike in the number of genetic testings for breast cancer.
这与腿部时刻完全不同——她受到了一些名人的祝贺，这篇文章导致了医生所谓的“安吉丽娜·朱莉效应”，即乳腺癌基因检测数量激增。
And yet both had a way of making her feel more human, more vulnerable, a cinematic god come down to earth.
然而，两者都有办法让她感觉更人性化，更脆弱，一个电影之神降临人间。
At the same time, Pitt was flying high.
与此同时，皮特也飞得很高。
He was building a career as a producer, transforming from a modestly well-regarded actor to a powerful arbiter of value in Hollywood.
他正在建立制片人的职业生涯，从一个受人尊敬的普通演员转变为好莱坞强大的价值仲裁者。
He’d been doing production work under Plan B, alongside producers Dede Gardner and co-president Jeremy Kleiner, since the early aughts.
从一开始，他就一直在 B 计划下与制片人 Dede Gardner 和联合总裁 Jeremy Kleiner 一起从事制作工作。
He would often produce works he was involved in as a star, including The Tree of Life, Moneyball, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly, and World War Z.
他经常创作自己作为明星参与的作品，包括《生命之树》、《点球成金》、《胆小鬼罗伯特·福特刺杀杰西·詹姆斯》、《轻轻杀死他们》和《僵尸世界大战》。
But it was Steve McQueen’s brutal 12 Years a Slave that would earn Pitt an Academy Award when it won for Best Picture in 2014.
但史蒂夫·麦奎因执导的残酷电影《为奴十二年》为皮特赢得了 2014 年奥斯卡最佳影片奖。
In the years after this win, Plan B began focusing on works by or about people of color, including Okja and Barry Jenkins’s tremendous Moonlight.
在这场胜利之后的几年里，B 计划开始关注有色人种的作品或关于有色人种的作品，包括玉子和巴里·詹金斯的精彩《月光男孩》。
This allowed Pitt to align himself with a coterie of highly talented Black and brown creatives and turned his work behind the scenes into a kind of extension of the activism he and Jolie had become known for.
这使得皮特能够与一群才华横溢的黑人和棕色人种创意人士结盟，并将他的幕后工作转变为他和朱莉闻名的激进主义的延伸。
“I can help in other ways,” he would tell GQ.
“我可以通过其他方式提供帮助，”他告诉 GQ。
“I just do better building a house for someone in New Orleans or getting certain movies to the screen that might not get made otherwise.”
“我最好为新奥尔良的某人建造一座房子，或者将某些原本可能无法制作的电影搬上银幕。”
As Pitt deepened his skills and visibility as a producer, Jolie’s career was entering a fraught period.
随着皮特作为制片人的技能和知名度不断加深，朱莉的职业生涯进入了一个充满忧虑的时期。
She directed her first feature, In the Land of Blood and Honey, about the Bosnian war.
她执导了她的第一部长片《血与蜜之地》，讲述波斯尼亚战争。
It was tepidly received at best.
它充其量只是不温不火。
“There’s a somewhat awkward instructional, at times almost proselytizing aspect to the story that seems of a piece with her laudable humanitarian work,” the New York Times critic Manohla Dargis wrote.
《纽约时报》评论家马诺拉·达吉斯 (Manohla Dargis) 写道：“这个故事有一种有点尴尬的指导意义，有时甚至几乎是在劝说他人改变信仰，这似乎与她值得称赞的人道主义工作很契合。”
By the time of her third feature film as a director, 2015’s Antonioni-esque ode to decayed glamour By the Sea, Jolie was seen not as an artist refining her craft in a new venue but as the pinnacle of pretension.
2015 年，朱莉担任导演的第三部故事片，即安东尼奥尼式的颂歌，颂扬衰败的魅力，到了《海边》时，朱莉不再被视为在新场所完善自己技艺的艺术家，而是被视为自命不凡的顶峰。
Set in the 1970s in the south of France, it follows a married couple as they vacation in the wake of a great, unexplained loss.
该剧以 20 世纪 70 年代的法国南部为背景，讲述了一对已婚夫妇在经历了一场无法解释的巨大损失后去度假的故事。
Roland (Pitt) is a writer intent on pickling himself while his wife, Vanessa (Jolie), a former dancer, pops pills.
罗兰（皮特饰）是一位作家，一心想自我净化，而他的妻子瓦妮莎（朱莉饰）曾是一名舞者，她正在服用药物。
They are sexually inert until they discover a peephole to the room next door, providing a view into the lives of newlyweds whose glinting warmth is the opposite of their shadowy complications.
他们在性方面是惰性的，直到他们发现隔壁房间的一个窥视孔，让他们能够看到新婚夫妇的生活，他们闪闪发光的温暖与他们阴暗的并发症相反。
“From anyone else, it would be mystifying as to how something so dull and inept got made by a major studio,” Rich Juzwiak argued in Gawker.
里奇·朱兹维亚克 (Rich Juzwiak) 在 Gawker 上表示：“从其他人的角度来看，一家大工作室是如何制作出如此乏味无能的作品的，这都会令人感到困惑。”
“From an A-lister, it makes sense.
“对于一位一线明星来说，这是有道理的。
Superstar entitlement — that which comes from within and without — is the only logical explanation for this horrendous movie.” Jolie was swiftly lambasted for considering her own relationship to beauty and motherhood as worthy of sustained artistic consideration.
超级明星的权利——来自内部和外部的权利——是这部可怕电影的唯一合乎逻辑的解释。”朱莉因为认为自己与美和母性的关系值得持续的艺术考虑而很快受到严厉批评。
The movie was seen as marking the death knell for the “celebrity vanity project.” Only the Times review from Dargis seemed interested in exploring what Jolie was doing as a director and actress.
这部电影被视为标志着“名人虚荣工程”的丧钟。只有《泰晤士报》的评论似乎对探索朱莉作为导演和演员所做的事情感兴趣。
That same year, The Big Short, the Adam McKay financial dramedy that Pitt co-starred in and produced under his Plan B banner, was released and would go on to rack up several Academy Award nominations.
同年，皮特与亚当·麦凯共同主演并在他的 B 计划旗下制作的金融喜剧《大空头》上映，并获得了多项奥斯卡金像奖提名。
2015: In By the Sea , directed by Jolie.
2015年：朱莉执导的《海边》。

照片：©Universal/Courtesy Everett Col/©Universal/Courtesy Everett Col 如果说史密斯夫妇是为 Brangelina 定下基调的轻食，那么《By the Sea》则展示了幻想结束后的样子。
In hindsight, the subject matter of the film — Pitt’s character’s alcoholism, Jolie’s character’s infertility — seems like an echo of the lives they were actually living at the time.
事后看来，这部电影的主题——皮特饰演的角色酗酒，朱莉饰演的不孕不育——似乎是他们当时实际生活的回声。
There is a piercing sequence in which Pitt and Jolie, decked in white, dance until she becomes possessed with a sense of abandon; her image splinters across a host of mirrors poised above the dance floor.
有一个令人心碎的场景，皮特和朱莉穿着白色的衣服跳舞，直到她产生一种被遗弃的感觉；她的形象分裂在舞池上方的许多镜子上。
Compared to the scintillating sexual heat they demonstrated on the dance floors in Mr. & Mrs. Smith, when their titular characters also danced in off-white attire , marking the beginning of their romance, this is a melancholy vision.
与《史密斯夫妇》中他们在舞池中展现出的闪烁性欲相比，当时他们的主角也穿着米白色的服装跳舞，标志着他们浪漫的开始，这是一种忧郁的景象。
It is the only time Pitt has been directed by a woman in his more than 30 years as a star.
这是皮特30多年来唯一一次由女性执导。
On September 20, 2016, the world learned that Jolie had filed for divorce from Pitt because of “irreconcilable differences.” Here is what we knew then: The FBI reviewed an incident in which Pitt allegedly got verbally and physically abusive with one of his children on the couple’s plane (the agency did not file charges).
2016年9月20日，全世界得知朱莉因“不可调和的分歧”而向皮特提出离婚。以下是我们当时所知道的情况：联邦调查局审查了一起事件，据称皮特在这对夫妇的飞机上对他的一个孩子进行了言语和身体虐待（该机构没有提出指控）。
In a follow-up People article, titled “Brad’s Side of the Story,” an unnamed source said Pitt did not hurt his children.
在《人物》杂志后续一篇题为“布拉德的故事”的文章中，一位不愿透露姓名的消息人士表示，皮特没有伤害他的孩子。
By the end of 2016, they reached a temporary agreement in which she maintained physical custody.
2016 年底，他们达成了一项临时协议，保留她的实际监护权。
They would also undergo individual counseling, and Pitt would voluntarily take drug and alcohol tests.
他们还将接受个人咨询，皮特将自愿接受药物和酒精测试。
Pitt and Jolie have spent the time since then locked in a tense battle over the custody of their six children.
从那时起，皮特和朱莉就六个孩子的监护权陷入了紧张的斗争。
Here is what we know now: After the flight back in 2016, Jolie told FBI investigators that Pitt had grabbed her by the head, shaken her, yelled at her, and pushed her into the bathroom wall.
我们现在知道的是：2016年乘飞机返回后，朱莉告诉联邦调查局调查人员，皮特抓住她的头，摇晃她，对她大喊大叫，并将她推到浴室的墙上。
He allegedly choked one of the kids and hit another in the face.
据称，他掐住了其中一个孩子的脖子，并打了另一个孩子的脸。
At one point, Jolie said, he poured beer on her and the children.
朱莉说，有一次，他把啤酒倒在了她和孩子们身上。
Per the redacted FBI report, covered in the Los Angeles Times, one of her children asked, “Are you okay, Mommy?” Pitt allegedly yelled, “No, Mommy’s not okay.
根据《洛杉矶时报》报道的经过编辑的联邦调查局报告，她的一个孩子问道：“妈妈，你还好吗？”据称皮特大喊：“不，妈妈不好。
She’s ruining this family.” Jolie said his behavior had made her feel “scared” and “like a hostage.”
她正在毁掉这个家庭。”朱莉说，他的行为让她感到“害怕”和“像人质”。
These disturbing details came to light in a countersuit Jolie filed against Pitt, who, in February, sued Jolie for selling her shares of Château Miraval — the French winery the couple co-owned — to the Stoli Group, saying they had an informal agreement that she wouldn’t.
这些令人不安的细节在朱莉对皮特提起的反诉讼中曝光。皮特在二月份起诉朱莉将她在米拉瓦尔酒庄（这对夫妇共同拥有的法国酒庄）的股份出售给斯托利集团，称他们有一份非正式协议，但她不会这样做。
Jolie says they never had such an agreement and that she sold her stake only because their talks broke down over a nondisclosure agreement Pitt had asked her to sign that would have contractually prohibited her from speaking outside of court about his alleged physical and emotional abuse of their children.
朱莉表示，他们从未达成过这样的协议，她出售自己的股份只是因为皮特要求她签署一份保密协议，他们的谈判破裂了，该协议将禁止她在法庭外谈论皮特涉嫌对孩子进行身体和精神虐待的情况。
Pitt now wants a jury trial for the Miraval lawsuit, which would place more details of their divorce in the court of public opinion.
皮特现在希望对米拉瓦尔诉讼进行陪审团审判，这将把他们离婚的更多细节提交给公众舆论法庭。
Jolie has filed a separate lawsuit to understand why the FBI decided not to press charges against Pitt for the plane incident back in 2016.
朱莉已单独提起诉讼，以了解为什么联邦调查局决定不对皮特提起 2016 年飞机事件的指控。
Meanwhile, Pitt’s “allies” told The Daily Mail Jolie had required a similar NDA and was mounting a “disinformation” campaign against him.
与此同时，皮特的“盟友”告诉《每日邮报》，朱莉也要求类似的保密协议，并正在对他发起“虚假信息”运动。
When a celebrity breakup plays out this publicly, the media becomes another weapon in the arsenal.
当名人的分手公开化时，媒体就成为武器库中的另一个武器。
In the immediate aftermath of their split, Pitt and Jolie headed to the glossy pages of the magazines that once adored them.
分手后，皮特和朱莉立即转向曾经崇拜他们的杂志的光鲜版面。
Pitt’s moment came first, in a May 2017 issue of GQ.
皮特的时刻首先出现在 2017 年 5 月的《GQ》杂志上。
The piece is framed as a “raw conversation” with a heartbroken star who is redefining his life in the wake of a monumental loss.
这篇文章被描述为与一位心碎的明星的“原始对话”，这位明星在经历了巨大的损失后正在重新定义自己的生活。
It isn’t wholly what he said that made an imprint on the culture so much as a single image from the shoot by photographer Ryan McGinley.
摄影师瑞安·麦金利 (Ryan McGinley) 拍摄的一张照片给文化留下了深刻的印记，但他所说的并不完全是这样。
(Pitt collaborated with the magazine and photographer on scouting potential destinations for the shoot, which took place in a variety of national parks.)
（皮特与杂志和摄影师合作寻找潜在的拍摄地点，拍摄地点在各个国家公园。）

In a close-up set against the pale azure sky of the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, Pitt is rendered unguarded.
在卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园淡蓝色天空的特写镜头中，皮特毫无防备。
Decked in a rust-colored Bottega Veneta suit jacket and sweater with a slim silver chain tucked underneath, he stands chin up, his lips parted as if about to speak.
他穿着铁锈色的 Bottega Veneta 西装外套和毛衣，里面藏着一条细长的银色链条，他昂着下巴站着，嘴唇张开，好像要说话。
But it’s his eyes that do the true work — brimming with tears about to fall.
但真正起作用的是他的眼睛——眼里充满了即将落下的泪水。
This, the photograph suggests, is a man come undone.
照片表明，这是一个被毁掉的人。
He would go on to work with GQ in 2019 for his Once Upon a Time in Hollywood …
2019 年，他继续与《GQ》合作拍摄《好莱坞往事》……
press tour and again in 2022 for a profile written by novelist Ottessa Moshfegh.
新闻发布会，并于 2022 年再次为小说家 Ottessa Moshfegh 撰写的简介进行宣传。
A few themes recur in all three.
一些主题在这三部影片中都重复出现。
His relationship to his children, represented in the 2017 piece by the bikes and other childlike detritus that dot his solemn Craftsman home in the Hollywood Hills.
他与孩子们的关系在 2017 年的作品中以自行车和其他孩子气的碎物为代表，这些碎片点缀着他位于好莱坞山庄严的工匠之家。
His decision to quit alcohol and weed.
他决定戒酒和戒烟。
“For me this period has been about looking at my weaknesses and failures and owning my side of the street,” Pitt says.
“对我来说，这段时间是关于审视自己的弱点和失败，并拥有自己的那一边，”皮特说。
And finally, his love of art and building things with his hands.
最后，他对艺术和用双手建造事物的热爱。
In the age of the relatable star, Pitt made an intelligent shift toward such expectations.
在明星时代，皮特明智地转向了这种期望。
Here is Hollywood’s most golden god brought closer to our atmosphere.
这里是好莱坞最金的神，拉近了我们的气氛。
Jolie’s September 2017 Vanity Fair cover profile by Evgenia Peretz accomplished the opposite.
叶夫根尼娅·佩雷茨 (Evgenia Peretz) 为朱莉拍摄的 2017 年 9 月《名利场》杂志封面人物简介却恰恰相反。
In the photo shoot, she’s as gorgeous as ever.
照片中的她一如既往的美丽。
In one image, she sits on the Warner Bros.
在一张照片中，她坐在华纳兄弟的电影院里。
studio lot in a director’s chair.
工作室里的导演椅上。
Decked in a crisp white shirt and riding boots as the studio bustles around her in the background, she stares directly at the camera as if daring it to a challenge.
她穿着清爽的白衬衫和马靴，背景中的工作室在她周围忙碌，她直视镜头，仿佛敢于接受挑战。
The profile depicts Jolie as a woman seeking to take control of her own life, from her decision to have a mastectomy to prioritizing the Cambodian people in adapting Loung Ung’s 2000 memoir of the Khmer Rouge genocide, First They Killed My Father.
该简介将朱莉描绘成一个寻求掌控自己生活的女性，从她决定进行乳房切除术，到改编 Loung Ung 2000 年关于红色高棉种族灭绝的回忆录《他们首先杀了我的父亲》时优先考虑柬埔寨人民。
But what came to dominate the narrative wasn’t her dedication to her politics and artistry.
但主导叙事的并不是她对政治和艺术的奉献。
It was a detail about how the film was cast.
这是关于电影如何选角的细节。
“To cast the children in the film, Jolie looked at orphanages, circuses, and slum schools, specifically seeking children who had experienced hardship,” Peretz writes.
“为了让孩子们出演电影，朱莉考察了孤儿院、马戏团和贫民窟学校，专门寻找经历过苦难的孩子，”佩雷茨写道。
“In order to find their lead, to play young Loung Ung, the casting directors set up a game, rather disturbing in its realism: they put money on the table and asked the child to think of something she needed the money for, and then to snatch it away.
“为了找到主角，扮演年轻的Loung Ung，选角导演设计了一个游戏，其真实性相当令人不安：他们把钱放在桌子上，让孩子想想她需要钱做什么，然后把钱抢走。
The director would pretend to catch the child, and the child would have to come up with a lie.” After readers and reporters expressed concern over the casting practice, Jolie contacted Vanity Fair, arguing that Peretz had framed it incorrectly and hoping the magazine would retract the material and run a correction.
导演会假装抓住孩子，孩子就必须编出一个谎言。”在读者和记者对选角做法表示担忧后，朱莉联系了《名利场》，认为佩雷茨的框架不正确，并希望该杂志撤回该材料并进行更正。
Vanity Fair stood by the profile after reviewing the audiotapes from the interview, casting doubt on Jolie’s philanthropic efforts.
《名利场》在查看了采访录音带后坚持了这一观点，对朱莉的慈善努力表示怀疑。
Pitt struggles with his own credibility in that area, though it hasn’t stuck as much to him as it has to her.
皮特在这方面与自己的信誉作斗争，尽管这对他来说没有像对她那么重要。
He just settled a class-action lawsuit for $20.5 million brought by the inhabitants of the Make It Right campaign’s shoddy housing, which was prone to leaks, rot, and other major structural problems, after years of criticism from Black residents in New Orleans’s Lower Ninth Ward for the way his organization has materially wrecked their lives.
他刚刚以 2050 万美元和解了由“Make It Right”运动的劣质住房的居民提起的集体诉讼，这些住房容易出现渗漏、腐烂和其他重大结构问题，此前新奥尔良下九区的黑人居民多年来一直批评他的组织严重破坏了他们的生活。
In the years since the profile and the antecedent divorce, Jolie has continued to struggle to find her audience.
自从有了个人资料和离婚之后的这些年里，朱莉一直在努力寻找她的观众。
Her 2021 films — the muscular action-drama Those Who Wish Me Dead and the tepid Marvel epic Eternals — failed to capture the imagination of viewers or critics.
她 2021 年的电影——肌肉动作片《那些希望我死的人》和不温不火的漫威史诗片《永恒族》——未能抓住观众或评论家的想象力。
In many ways, she is coasting on residual star power, seemingly ambivalent about acting and more interested in directorial efforts.
在很多方面，她都依靠着残余的明星力量，似乎对表演很矛盾，而对导演工作更感兴趣。
She has been far more guarded about her life in recent years, complicating audiences’ ability to project and connect.
近年来，她对自己的生活更加谨慎，这使观众的投射和联系能力变得更加复杂。
The most resonant image she’s committed to screen of late is bound up in her single motherhood: her line dancing on TikTok while dropping her daughter Zahara off at Spelman for the new school year.
她最近在荧幕上最能引起共鸣的形象与她的单身母亲有关：她在 TikTok 上跳舞，同时送女儿扎哈拉 (Zahara) 去斯佩尔曼 (Spelman) 学校迎接新学年。
Pitt hasn’t been seen publicly with his children since the divorce.
离婚后，皮特就没有和孩子们一起公开露面。
Meanwhile, his power as a producer and actor has only become further enshrined.
与此同时，他作为制片人和演员的权力只会变得更加神圣。
He won his first acting Oscar for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood …
他凭借《好莱坞往事》赢得了他的第一个奥斯卡最佳男演员奖……
in 2020.
2020年。
This year, he stars in Damien Chazelle’s Jazz Age drama, Babylon, as a megastar inspired by the likes of John Gilbert and Clark Gable, and he’s a producer on three films: Women Talking, the Sarah Polley–helmed adaptation about women reckoning with the aftermath of assaults; Blonde, Andrew Dominik’s divisive, fictional take on the life of mid-century icon Marilyn Monroe; and She Said, the ripped-from-the-headlines newsroom drama detailing how two New York Times reporters wrote the story that took down Harvey Weinstein.
今年，他在达米安·查泽雷 (Damien Chazelle) 执导的爵士时代剧情片《巴比伦》(Babylon) 中饰演一位受约翰·吉尔伯特 (John Gilbert) 和克拉克·盖博 (Clark Gable) 等人启发的巨星，同时他还是三部电影的制片人：《女人在说话》 (Women Talking)，由莎拉·波利 (Sarah Polley) 执导，讲述了女性如何面对袭击后果的故事； 《金发女郎》是安德鲁·多米尼克对中世纪偶像玛丽莲·梦露的生活进行的充满争议的虚构演绎； 《她说》是一部从头条新闻中摘录的剧情片，详细介绍了两名《纽约时报》记者如何撰写推翻哈维·韦恩斯坦的故事。
(Pitt himself has worked with Weinstein on two films; Jolie, who had been assaulted by the producer, said in a 2021 Guardian profile, “I never associated or worked with him again.
（皮特本人曾与韦恩斯坦合作过两部电影；曾被制片人殴打的朱莉在 2021 年卫报的简介中表示，“我再也没有与他交往或合作过。
It was hard for me when Brad did.”) In recent months, Pitt has upped his press game.
布拉德这样做对我来说很难。”）最近几个月，皮特加强了他的新闻报道力度。
He’s been on the cover of Billboard illuminating his love of art by reestablishing a recording studio at Miraval and in the Financial Times flanked by friends, Los Angeles–based artist Thomas Houseago and musician Nick Cave, talking about using art to heal.
他登上了《公告牌》封面，在 Miraval 重建了录音室，彰显了他对艺术的热爱；《金融时报》则在朋友洛杉矶艺术家托马斯·豪斯亚戈 (Thomas Houseago) 和音乐家尼克·凯夫 (Nick Cave) 的陪伴下谈论如何利用艺术来治愈疾病。
He’s lent his image to a variety of pursuits that reflect a more tender masculinity, including a new skin-care line (which uses ingredients from the Miraval vineyard).
他将自己的形象融入到各种反映更温柔男性气质的追求中，包括新的护肤系列（使用来自 Miraval 葡萄园的成分）。
In June, he played the role of the chummy ex you can still be friends with in a Goop interview by his onetime fiancée Gwyneth Paltrow to market his new cashmere-clothing business.
6 月，他在 Goop 接受他的未婚妻格温妮丝·帕特洛 (Gwyneth Paltrow) 采访时扮演了一位亲密的前任，你仍然可以和他成为朋友，以营销他的新羊绒服装业务。
In it, he spoke with soft reverence for Paltrow’s late father.
在信中，他对帕特洛已故的父亲表达了柔和的敬意。
For Pitt, the abuse allegations, despite their severity and growing conversations about them online, have yet to make a dent.
对于皮特来说，尽管虐待指控很严重，而且网上有关这些指控的讨论也越来越多，但尚未产生任何影响。
Meanwhile, people are already questioning Jolie’s motives, as NBC News discovered after reviewing hundreds of online comments about the case on YouTube, TikTok, and Twitter expressing skepticism about her accusations.
与此同时，人们已经在质疑朱莉的动机，NBC 新闻在查看 YouTube、TikTok 和 Twitter 上数百条对此案的在线评论后发现，这些评论对她的指控表示怀疑。
Perhaps this is what happens when a star known primarily for her private life actually becomes private: Other people set the narrative for you.
也许这就是当一位主要以私生活闻名的明星实际上变得私密时会发生的情况：其他人为你讲述故事。

It’s hard not to notice how the current moment is replaying early images we associate with Brangelina — Jolie as the bad influence, Pitt as the innocent charmer caught in the drama.
很难不注意到当前时刻是如何重播我们与布兰吉利娜联系在一起的早期形象——朱莉是坏影响，皮特是戏剧中的无辜魅力者。
During his awards campaign for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood …
在他的《好莱坞往事》颁奖活动中……
, Pitt tapped into one of the most intoxicating powers in Hollywood’s arsenal: nostalgia.
在这部影片中，皮特利用了好莱坞武器库中最令人陶醉的力量之一：怀旧之情。
Throughout, he was gregarious, light on his feet, and as charismatic as ever, giving speeches so smooth people wondered if he had writers.
自始至终，他都很合群，脚步轻盈，魅力一如既往，演讲如此流畅，人们怀疑他是否有作家。
Then, at the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards, he reconnected with Aniston, surrounded by the cameras and flashing bulbs of a hungry public.
然后，在 2020 年美国演员工会奖颁奖典礼上，他与安妮斯顿重新取得了联系，周围是饥饿的公众的摄像机和闪光灯。
The exes beamed with approval when they won their respective awards.
当他们获得各自的奖项时，前任们都露出了认可的笑容。
Photographers captured a reunion Vogue would deem “tender”; backstage, they smiled giddily at each other as he held his statuette, both of them in profile.
摄影师捕捉到了《Vogue》杂志认为“温柔”的重聚；在后台，当他拿着他的小雕像时，他们互相微笑着，两人都是侧面。
But it’s another image of them that truly cinches the success of his campaign, not only for his Oscar win but for the public’s heart: Pitt in stark profile, Aniston with her back to the camera, walking away from him but with her hand still on his chest.
但真正决定他竞选成功的却是他们的另一张照片，不仅是为了他赢得奥斯卡奖，也是为了公众的心：皮特的轮廓鲜明，安妮斯顿背对着镜头，从他身边走开，但她的手仍然放在他的胸前。
He’s holding her there.
他把她抱在那里。
It’s a fantasy of the man who did the work.
这是做这项工作的人的幻想。
