1.You are walking to your boyfriend/girlfriend's house. There are two roads to get there. One is a straight path which takes you there quickly, but is very plain and boring. The other is curvy and full of wonderful sights on the way, but takes quite a while to reach your loved one's house.
你正走向你男友/女友的住处。摆在面前的有两条路。一条是条笔直的大路,很快就能到达目的地,但是平坦而无趣。另一条路十分曲折,沿途的风光很好,但是到达你爱人的住处恐怕要花好一会。

Analysis
结果分析
1.The roads represent your attitude towards falling in love. If you chose the short one, you fall in love quickly and easily.
路的选择代表了你坠入爱河的态度。如果你选了短的那条路,你很容易也很轻易就会坠入爱河。
If you chose the long one, you take your time and do not fall in love easily.
如果你选了长的那条路,你喜欢慢慢来,而且不会轻易爱上别人。
2. The number of red roses represent how much you expect to give in a relationship. The number of white roses represent how much you expect in a relationship. Therefore, if a person chose all red with one white, he/she gives 90% in the relationship but expects to receive only 10% back.
红玫瑰的数量代表了你在一段恋爱关系中付出多少。白玫瑰的数量代表你希望在一段关系里获得多少。因此,如果一个人在这束花里只选了一朵白玫瑰,剩下的都是红玫瑰的话,他/她在一段感情里会付出90%的精力,而只求10%的回报。
3.This question shows your attitude in handling relationship problems. If you asked the maid to get your loved one, then you may beat around the bush, maybe asking a third party to intervene3. Avoidance of problems runs high.
这个问题显示了你处理恋爱问题的态度。如果你让女仆去告诉你的爱人,那么你可能说话旁敲侧击,也可能让第三方出面干涉。逃避问题只会越来越麻烦。
If you went and got your loved one yourself, then you are pretty direct. If there is a problem, you confront4 it and deal with it. You want to work it out right away.
如果你直接去找你亲爱的,那么你就是个很直爽的人了。如果发生问题,你会去直面它,解决它。你想要直截了当的解决掉。
4.The placement of the roses indicates how often you'd like to see your boyfriend/girlfriend. Placing the roses on the bed means you need lots of reassurance5 in the relationship, and you'd want to see your loved one every day, if possible.
你放玫瑰的位置透露了你多久想见男友/女友一次。把玫瑰放在床上意味着你在一段感情里需要很多的安全感,如果可能的话你想天天都见到你的爱人。
Placing the roses by the window show that you don't expect or need to see your loved one too often.
把玫瑰放到窗沿说明你不希望,或者说不需要经常和你的爱人见面。
5. Finding6 your boyfriend/ girlfriend asleep: You accept your loved one the way they are.
发现你的男友/女友还睡着:你接受你爱人原本的样子。
Finding them awake: You expect him/her to change for you.
发现他们醒着:你希望他/她会为你而改变。
6.The short and long roads now represent how long you stay in love. If you chose the short one, you fall out of love easily.
这里的长短路代表了你想保持恋爱多久。如果你选了短的那条,你很容易放弃恋爱。
If you chose the long one, you tend to stay in love for a long time.
如果你选择了长的那条,你倾向于长时间的保持恋爱关系。
