英语热词：男士们该娶什么型的老婆呢？

 　　这两天，宝宝离婚事件引得大家都在讨论，男士们该娶什么样的老婆。于是，就有人说，娶妻娶贤娶德不娶色。其实，这个问题本不该由别人来提供意见，自己心里想要娶什么样的老婆就只有自己知道。

　　有些人就喜欢家里有个漂亮的妻子充门面，有些人想要有人分担经济压力，可能有个女强人老婆。还有些家庭，妻子为丈夫提供各种支持，帮助丈夫在事业上进步。

　　我们今天就来说说这三种类型的老婆。

　　Alpha-wives 阿尔法老婆

　　"Alpha-wives" are prime "breadwinners" at home.

　　“阿尔法老婆”是家里的主要经济支柱。

　　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。
