朱莉1.2億買心形小島 慶皮特50歲生日

Their love for one another has never been in doubt, but Angelina Jolie has apparently reinforced the depth of her feelings for Brad Pitt by buying him his very own heart shaped island.

雖然安吉麗娜·朱莉與布拉德·皮特這對影壇佳人從未對彼此的愛有過懷疑，但朱莉顯然是要增進與愛人的感情，在皮特50歲生日來臨之際，朱莉爲他買下了一座心形小島。

The actress has reportedly paid £12.2 million for secluded Petra as Brad prepares to celebrate his 50th birthday on December 18.

據報道稱，由於布拉德·皮特打算在12月18日慶祝自己50歲生日，安吉麗娜·朱莉斥資1220萬英鎊（約1.2億人民幣）爲其在僻靜的佩特拉買下了這座小島。

Angelina is understood to have snapped up the island, located some 50-miles away from New York City, after discovering its two sprawling properties were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, Brad’s favourite architect.

這座心形小島位於紐約北部，距離海岸線50英里外。外界認爲，安吉麗娜在得知島上兩處豪宅的設計者爲布拉德·皮特最鍾愛的著名建築師弗蘭克·勞埃德·賴特時，就購入了這座小島。

A source told The Mirror: ‘The house is perfect for romantic getaways or as a family retreat.

一位知情人士向《鏡報》透露：“這所房子非常適合二人浪漫度假或家庭出遊。

‘It’s very private. And Angelina knows the fact the island is in the shape of a heart will mean so much to him.’

“它很私密，並且安吉麗娜認爲這個心形狀的小島對皮特來說意義也會很大。”

Petra’s original cottage was erected in 1950, while its larger property was built from one of Wright’s blueprints in 2008 – 48-years after his death.

佩特拉原有的平房建於1950年，而其中較大的一座建於2008年，是在賴特去世48年後按其圖紙建造的。

The home boasts panoramic views of the surrounding area, ceilings panelled with the finest mahogany and skylights that afford the property plenty of natural lighting.

在島上的這座豪宅中，可以欣賞到周邊地區的全景，天花板鑲板用的是最好的紅木，並且配有可以充分自然採光的天窗。

An open porch, complete with a carved wooden bench, gives the owner breath-taking views of the surrounding area, while beneath the building’s stone foundations disappear into the water.

開放式的門廊配上雕花木椅，能讓人欣賞到令人歎爲觀止的美景，而房子的地基則深入到水中。

The finer details of its intricate design will not be lost on architecture fan Brad, who once admitted that Frank Lloyd Wright ‘changed his life’.

對於建築愛好者布拉德·皮特來說，他也會喜歡這座建築複雜設計中極爲精美的細節。他曾經承認，弗蘭克·勞埃德·賴特“改變了他的一生 ”。

Angelina has previously treated him to a tour of the late architect’s home, Fallingwater, in 2006.

在2006年，安吉麗娜也曾與布拉德·皮特一同參觀這位已故建築師位於流水別墅的家。

Angelina is currently in Australia while she directs her new film, and she’s understood to have rented a property in Vaucluse, New South Wales.

安吉麗娜目前正在澳大利亞執導她的新片，目前租住在新南威爾士州沃克呂茲省的一座別墅。
