解答:
Mostly As 多选a者 You are a Twit. You live it up in style and love it. Life is for living--not hanging about for a decent man to show up. And if one does, he'll have to fit in with you. 你是Twit。你活出了自我并且喜欢这样的生活。生活就是生活,而不是浪费时间空等白马王子的出现。而一旦他出现,你们就一拍即合。
Mostly Bs 多选b者 The complete opposite of a Twit. You crave commitment, heaps of babies and to live happily ever after--you're a romantic at heart. The most important thing is finding a soul mate, getting married, setting up home then churning out lots of children. 你和Twit一点都沾不上边。你有一颗浪漫的心,你渴望承诺,期待着生一堆宝宝,和心上人过着幸福快乐的日子。对你来说,最重要的事情就是找到灵魂的伴侣,结婚、安家,然后生一堆孩子。
Mostly Cs 多选c者 You're a realist. Your husband is your best mate, you have a great life with a couple of kids and get through the bad patches together. Laughter is the best medicine when life does get tough. 你很务实。你的丈夫是你的知己,你会和家人携手克服困难。面对艰难的生活,你也能一笑置之。
