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

　　抛开作为好莱坞一线女星的身份，在安吉丽娜-朱莉看来，作为一位母亲才是一份更具挑战的工作。

　　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。

　　这位获得过奥斯卡奖女演员与伴侣布拉德-比特共同抚养有六个孩子，九岁的Maddox、七岁的Pax、五岁的Zahara、四岁的 Shiloh以及一双两岁的双胞胎Knox和Vivienne。对朱莉来说，操持这一大家子人的确不是件容易之事，在她看来，有时候在外工作反而成了一众放松。

　　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。

　　她说：“有时候我或布拉德出去拍电影，这反而成了一种‘休息’的机会，它让我们远离日常生活起居和照看孩子们的这些事情。你在片场就不用担心这些事情，所以在某种程度上来说，长时间的拍摄电影要比照看家务来得轻松不少，因为对于后者来说，你每天都会累得精疲力竭。”

　　“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。

　　“特别是在双胞胎出生以后，我的时间就变得更加紧张了，这也就意味了布拉德不得不花更多的时间和其他的孩子呆在一起，因为这对双胞胎就已经够我忙了。”

　　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。”

　　尽管要带六个孩子的确时间累人的活，但安吉丽娜还是庆幸自己有成功的事业，以及来自布拉德的支持。她告诉英国的《Hello！》杂志：“我目前仍可工作并且享受这些充满创意与灵感之事，与此同时可以肩负好做母亲的责任，对此我非常感激感激。另外，有一个像布拉德这样愿意照顾孩子的伴侣真是件幸运的事，因为那真不是件轻松的活儿。”
