What's Your Blood Type? (2)

你的血型是什麼？（2）

Blood is divided into four groups: A, B, AB, and O. Nomi had lots of neat ideas about these groups. For example, if you're type A, you have a green thumb. If you plant flowers, they should bloom beautifully. If you're type B, you love animals.

Nomi also focused on romance. He said that the most successful romances were between AB women and men with type B blood.

Lots of people debate Nomi's ideas about blood types. Some think that blood type says nothing about who you truly are. What do you think?

血型分成四類：A 型、B 型、AB 型和 O 型。能見有許多關於這四個血型的絕佳想法。比方說，如果你是 A 型，你會精於園藝，如果種花，花應該會開得很美。如果你是 B 型的人則喜愛動物。

能見也著重在愛情方面。他說，最成功的愛情是出現在 AB 型女人和 B 型男人之間。

很多人爭辯能見對於血型的看法，有些人認為血型無法說明真實的自己。您認為呢？


plant	v.	栽種

bloom	v.	開花；生長茂盛

focus	v.	集中（注意）
