男人眼中的完美女人

    For years men and women have been getting married. They lay their wedding vows which bring them together as one. They promise to love and cherish each other until their last breath. When a man and a woman get married, it is one of the biggest decisions they will make in life. A man may select a woman because he, in his own eyes, sees her as the just-right wife for him. Every man has his own definition of what the just-right wife is.
    For instance, the millionaire man and the poor man both may define their just-right wife according to her physical qualities. A millionaire may describe his “just-right” wife as charming, beautiful, sexy, intelligent, and well developed. On the other hand, a poor man may define his just-right wife as pleasing, attractive, desirable, knowledgeable, and shapely. Both men describe their just-right wife by the same physical qualifies but use different words. The millionaire’s definition of the just-right wife is more elegant, whereas the poor man’s definition is a more common, everyday description.
    Although some men define the just-right wife by her physical qualities, other men describe their just-right wife by her athletic qualities. For example, the outdoors man may define his just-right wife as a woman who loves to fish, to camp, to hunt, and to water ski, whereas the inside sportsman may define his just-right wife as a woman who enjoys watching football, basketball, baseball, and wrestling. Both of these men define their just-right wife by her sports qualities but in two different atmospheres.
    Still, there are other men who have their definitions of the just-right wife. For instance, consider the fit man and the fat man. The fit man may describe his just-right wife as a woman who gets up every weekday morning at six o’clock and runs two to three miles. After running, she prepares breakfast, washes the dishes, takes the children to school, and then goes to work. After work, she arrives home, washes several loads of laundry, goes to exercise class, picks the children up from school on her way home, and then cooks dinner. After dinner, she cleans the kitchen, bathes the children, and puts them to bed.
     On the other hand, the fat man defines his just-right wife as a woman who gets up at eight o’clock in the morning, takes the children to McDonalds for breakfast, and drops them off at school. She then comes back home and lies on the couch watching soap operas all day. The children have to walk home from school in the afternoon. When they arrive at home, she instructs them to clean the house, do the laundry, and fix some hotdogs for dinner. Both men define their just-right wife with qualifies that they admire within themselves.
      Men from all nationalities also have their definition of the just-right wife. For example, the Italian man describes his woman as a woman who stands six feet one-inch tall with blonde hair and blue eyes, and who is well developed in the upper portion of her body. On the other hand, the French man may describe his ideal woman as a woman who stands only five feet three inches with brown hair and green eyes, and who is moderately built.
    Other nationalities, such as the German man and the Spanish man, may define their just-right wife as a woman who is fantastic and extraordinary. The German man may describe his ideal wife as a woman who likes to drive expensive-sports cars, a woman who visits a different foreign country every month and wears only the most expensive designer clothing, but the Spanish man may define his just-right wife as a woman who enjoys giving dinner parties every weekend, wearing a lot of jewelry, and drinking expensive wines.
     In addition to the other men’s definitions of the just-right wife, the bachelor also has a definition. He says that the just-right wife is someone else’s wife. He picks her up in a bar, takes her to his house, and takes her home in the morning. The bachelor has no real definition for the just-right wife. That is why he is still a bachelor.

   世世代代，男婚女嫁。他们在婚礼上山盟海誓，结为伉俪；他们发誓相亲相爱，至死不渝。男女结婚，这是他们人生中做出的最重要的决定之一。一个男人选择一位女人，可能是因为在他眼里她是他理想的妻子。每个男人对“理想”的妻子都有自己的定义。

    比如，百万富翁和穷人和可能都会根据女人的形体特征描绘他们理想的妻子。一个百万富翁兴许把自己心目中“理想”的妻子描绘为非常美丽、动人心魄、富有性感、头脑聪明、身材匀称的女人，而一个穷人可能将自己心中“理想”的老婆界定为招人喜欢、引入注目、诱发性欲、合乎心意、见多识广、有身条儿的女人，两者均依据相同的形体特征来描述白己心目中理想的妻子，但用词却不一样。富翁对理想妻子的描述文雅一些，而穷人的描述则是较为通俗的日常用语。
    虽然一些男人按照妻子的形体特征定义他们眼中理想的妻子，但也有一些男人根据妻子的运动爱好特性来定义自己心中满意的妻子。就拿喜爱户外运动的男人来说吧，他们认为理想的妻子应该是钓鱼、野营、狩猎和滑水运动的爱好者；而喜欢场地运动的男人也许将其称心如意的妻子确定为喜欢观赏橄榄球、篮球、棒球和摔跤比赛的女人。运动爱好特性是这两类男人定义理想妻子的共同标准，但他们各自的侧重范围却完全不同。
    当然，其他男人也有自己对理想妻子的定义。就以身体结实和体态臃肿这两类男人为例吧。身体壮实的男人会这样描述他的理想妻子：她每个工作日6点起床，晨跑两三英里，跑完后回家准备早饭，洗完碗盘后送孩子上学，再去上班。下班后回家洗几桶衣服，接着去健美班锻炼，锻炼之后，顺路从学校接孩子回家，到家后准备晚饭，晚饭后清理厨房，给孩子洗澡，最后安顿他们睡觉。
    而肥胖男人则认为理想妻子是：她早上8点起床，带孩子去麦当劳吃早餐，接着开车送他们到学校。然后回到家里，倒在沙发上看一整天的肥皂剧。下午，孩子们得白己步行回家。孩子们一回家，她就吩咐他们打扫房间，洗衣服，做几个热狗当作晚餐。这两种男人以自己所欣赏的特点作为衡量理想妻子的标准。
    不同民族的男人对理想的妻子都有自己的标准。比如意大利男人这样描述心中的理想女性：身高6英尺1英寸，金发碧眼，上身丰满协调，而法国男人可能将自己的理想女性描述为：身高5英尺3英寸，棕发，绿眼睛，体型匀称。
其他民族的男人，如德国男人和西班牙男人，或许认为完美的妻子应该是风度翩翩气质非凡的女人。德国男人兴许把自己心中理想的妻子描述为：她喜欢驾驶昂贵的跑车，每个月都去不同的国家观光。而且只穿最昂贵的名师设计的时装；而西班牙男人则认为，理想的太太喜欢每个周末都举办晚宴聚会，浑身珠光宝气，喝名贵的葡萄酒。
    对于理想妻子，除了上述几种定义之外，单身汉也有自己的一套说法。单身汉说，理想的妻子是别人的妻子。他在酒吧里和她调情，把她带回他的住所，第二天早上送她回家。由于单身汉对理想的妻子并没有一个真正的标准，所以，他至今仍是个单身汉。
