One of only two men to be named Sexiest Man Alive twice by People magazine, actor George Clooney has certainly made a name for himself as a global heartthrob. After first sending television audiences into a swoon with his soft, doe-like eyes and million-dollar smile on the hit sitcom ER, Clooney rose quickly to become one of Hollywood’s biggest draws and top box-office earners. Indeed, his starring role in the blockbuster Ocean’s Eleven is credited with helping that film gross an estimated US$444 million worldwide.

影星喬治.克隆尼是唯一兩位兩度被《時人》雜誌譽為「最性感男星」的名人之一,他毫無疑問已成為令全球影迷神魂顛倒的性格巨星。克隆尼先是在熱門電視影集《急診室的春天》中以溫柔、無邪的雙眼以及價值千金的笑容令觀眾為之傾倒,之後迅速竄紅成為好萊塢的超人氣影星與最佳票房保證。的確,他在強檔片《瞞天過海》中的角色估計幫助該片的全球票房進帳四億四千四百萬美元。 |

However, Clooney has proven over his years in the spotlight that he is more than just a pretty face. Soon after capturing the hearts of his fans, the actor wrote, directed, and starred in the Oscar-winning film Good Night and Good Luck in a bid to capture their conscience. This film tells the story of a newsman who uses his notoriety to challenge the wrongs he sees in his country, and in many ways, the film says a lot about Clooney himself. Using his stardom and the cameras that follow him wherever he goes, Clooney these days draws attention to the troubles facing our world, most notably the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan. |
然而,克隆尼在從影期間證明自己不只是靠俊俏的外型。在擁有廣大影迷的愛戴之後,克隆尼旋即自編自導自演了這部勇奪奧斯卡獎的電影《晚安,祝你好運》,試圖喚起人們的良知。這部電影探討一位新聞從業人員利用其狼藉的聲名來挑戰國內不仁不義之事,這部片在很多方面都是克隆尼本人的寫照。克隆尼現在利用他的明星身分及如影隨形的攝影機,來讓我們正視這個世界所面臨的問題,尤其是蘇丹達佛地區的人道主義危機。 |

Over 200,000 people have died since Sudanese ethnic tribes revolted against the government in 2003 and were forced to escape to Darfur. At least two million people have lost their homes. For those now living there, life is a nightmare—a constant struggle against starvation, disease, and violent attacks. |

二○○三年蘇丹部落反抗政府並被迫逃到達佛之後已有超過二十萬人喪生,至少有兩百萬人流離失所。對現居該地的人來說,生活是場惡夢——得不斷努力掙脫飢荒、疾病與猛烈的戰火。 |
