男人应该娶什么样的老婆?
Alpha-wives
"Alpha-wives" are prime "breadwinners" at home.
“阿尔法老婆”是家里的主要经济支柱。
The alpha-wife is desired for her intelligence and her power as a top money earner. She's independent and savvy. Her looks, though certainly visible, are secondary.
男人想得到阿尔法老婆是因为她聪慧,而且很能挣钱。她既独立又精明。虽然阿尔法老婆长相也不差,但相貌并不是男人选择她的首要原因。
在过去,靠女人赚钱曾被视为对男性自尊的打击,但是随着“阿尔法老婆”越来越多,社会成见已经慢慢改变。在经济不景气的形势下,家有“阿尔法老婆”也是一件让人庆幸的事情。
Trophy wife 花瓶老婆
The trophy wife was wanted for her youth, beauty, and body. She earned nothing on her own and truthfully wasn't someone who was sought after for her brains.
男人想从花瓶老婆那里得到的是青春、美貌和身体。她自己不挣钱,说实话男人也不是因为她有脑子才追求她的。
Lever women 杠杆女
The term “lever women” refers to wives or girlfriends who play their advantages to the full to help their husbands or boyfriends succeed in careers. Such women are compared to levers to lift their husbands or boyfriends.
“杠杆女”指充分发挥自己的优势和特长帮助老公或男友在事业上取得成功的女性。这样的女性就像一根杠杆一样,可以把他们的老公或男友给“撬”起来。
