(상식-039) (Celeb) Angelina Jolie

[Write 2 Speak]

Angelina was born in LA in 1976. She loved movies and started acting classes to follow her dream of movie stardom. She was rebellious and became a punk with dyed purple hair and tattoos. Her movie career took off in 1997 and within a few years she had won an Oscar. Her 2001 role as Lara Croft in the blockbuster “Tomb Raider” shot her to international fame. Angelina hasn’t limited her career to acting. She became involved in humanitarian work while filming in Cambodia. She is now a UN Goodwill Ambassador, visiting refugee camps in poor countries. She donates large sums of money to help the plight of underprivileged people. She has effectively used her stardom to highlight world problems.

Unfortunately, Jolie’s personal life has come to overshadow her other pursuits. The tabloids are obsessed with her relationships, especially the current one with Brad Pitt. The couple is now referred to not as Brad and Angelina but as “Brangelina”. The media seem more caught up with what they eat and drink than the important humanitarian work Angelina continues to do. Helping other people is what truly motivates Angelina. In 2001, she said: “We cannot close ourselves off…and ignore the fact that millions of people are out there suffering.” In addition to acting awards, she has received wide recognition for her humanitarian work. She became the first winner of the UN’s Citizen of the World Award. It seems likely more accolades will follow.

* 과거완료의 형태와 용법 
"had+과거분사"의 형태를 취하는 과거완료는 현재완료와 기본적인 용법은 같다.
다만 기준이 되는 시점이 다르다는 것 뿐이다. 즉, 현재완료가 현재를 기점으로 하여 그 이전부터 일어난 일이
현재에 미치는 상태를 나타내려는 것인 반면에 과거완료는 과거 어느 시점을 기준으로 하여 그 이전부터
일어난 일이 기준이 되는 과거 시점에 미친 영향을 나타내는 것이다. 의미는 현재완료와 같이
완료, 경험, 계속, 결과를 나타내며, 이외에 단순히 과거의 과거인 대과거를 나타내기도 한다.
