  The Alpha

  女强人

  You are fiercely independent. You don’t just have a job but a career, and no one has ever accused you of not having your act together. You definitely want love in your life but guys have such weak egos that they’re usually intimidated by your success.

  你很独立,而且很强悍。你不止有一份工作,还有一份事业,而且从来没有人说你做得不够好。你确实也渴望得到爱情,但是这些男人的自尊心真是太弱了,你的成功让他们望而却步。

  What’s a girl to do? So, you just keep focusing on work, going on the occasional date when you can fit it in, hoping something will work out one of these days. And if not, oh well, work is already basically the love of your life anyway.

  做女人怎么这么难?所以,你也没办法,你只能把精力都放在工作上,然后偶尔约约会、希望能有点什么进展。而如果最终也没能找到合适的人,好吧,至少你还能把工作当成一生挚爱。

  If you’re her, remember: Your life is what you make it. If you want love, you have to make room for it. It’s that simple.

  如果你是这样的女生,请记住:生活是靠自己来塑造的。如果你想要爱情,那你就得为它腾出精力。就这么简单。

  The Clock Watcher

  大龄危机

  You want a baby. In fact, you want a baby so badly that you don’t even care about the guy.

  你想要孩子。事实上,你实在太想要孩子了,以至于你都不在乎和什么样的男人生。

  As long as he has good DNA and a job, you’re down to get knocked up.

  只要他DNA还行,然后有份工作,你就觉得能接受。

  Sure, it would be nice to fall in love too but whatever — at this point, as long as you get some sperm that can swim, you’re cool.

  当然,如果能找到爱情就更好了,但在如今这个节骨眼上,只要能生孩子你就不介意。

  If you’re her, remember: We get it. But it’s not cool to go around having unprotected sex with the hope of finding yourself preggers. It’s actually kind of messed up.

  如果你是这样的女生,请记住:我们理解你的感受。但随便找个人生孩子真的不合适。你那是在毁掉自己的生活。

  The Mess

  拎不清

  You don’t know what you want. As long as you’ve had a few drinks, you’re happy and open to anything and anyone.

  你不知道自己想要什么。只要喝上几杯,你就觉得一切都挺好、所有人都挺好。

  Sure, you often end up in compromising situations — puking in the street, waking up at some random’s house, stumbling home in a daze — but that’s what you do when you’re young, right?

  诚然,你常常发现自己很颓废——吐在街上啊,在不认识的人家里醒来啊,跌跌撞撞走回家啊——但年轻不就是这样吗?

  If you’re her, remember: Being young is awesome but squandering that time in a haze of booze is not. And the guys you’re attracting — not the good ones. Get yourself together.

  如果你是这样的女生,请记住:年轻是一件很美妙的事,但把它浪费在酒精里就不是了。而且你现在这个样子能吸引来的男人也都不是什么好人。还是振作起来吧。
