流行风--杠杆女Vs. 经适男

       娶妻当娶“杠杆女”，嫁人要嫁“经适男”，最近这话在网络和现实生活中都很流行。这“杠杆女”和“经适男”到底指什么样的人呢？

    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 that 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。

       “经济适用男”相貌过目即忘；性格温和，发了工资会给老婆一部分；有责任感，认真工作，月薪不高，有支付住房首付的能力；很顾家，从事平凡职业的男人。

    More and more women are seeking a “budget husband” instead of wealthy men, just as home buyers now look for budget houses rather than villas during the economic crisis. Although not earning huge sums, neither do budget husbands have bad habits such as drinking, smoking or gambling.

       现在越来越多的女性不再想着找“金龟婿”了，而是倾向于找“经济适用男”（简称“经适男”）做老公。这个趋势跟经济危机时期，买房的人不再考虑买别墅，而是四处搜寻经济适用房的情况很类似。
