Getting married? Take the quiz first
想要结婚吗？先做“配对测试”吧！
A British family law firm is urging couples to take a "compatibility quiz" before getting married or deciding to live together.
英国一家家庭法律事务所建议情侣们在结婚或决定同居之前先做个“配对测试”。
Bross Bennett's compatibility test focuses on key questions about finances, family ties, children and aspirations that most couples struggle with and might have to answer anyway if their marriage breaks down and they end up divorcing.
布洛斯•贝内特事务所的“配对测试”主要考察金钱、家庭关系、孩子、以及志向等方面的关键问题。这些都是婚姻破裂，以离婚收场时，大多数夫妇都纠缠不休，又不得不面对的问题。
Partner Ruth Bross compared taking the quiz to the kind of considerations and research an employer might make before hiring someone.
事务所合伙人鲁思•布洛斯将做这项测试比作老板招聘员工前的考查。
"No one who is truly committed to a relationship will ever mind making the full and frank disclosure that is asked of them; if they do, you might like to ask yourself why," she said in an emailed statement containing the quiz.
她在谈到这项测试的一封邮件声明中说：“真正对两人的关系认真负责的人不会介意毫无保留而且坦诚地回答这些问题，如果他们介意的话，你就要问问自己为什么了。”
The quiz asks about assets and how each party would like to share them, what kind of relationships they have with their extended family and friends, whether they want children, their religious views, spending habits and career plans:
测试中提到的问题包括财产，以及每位家庭成员将如何分享这些；与亲友的关系如何；是否想要孩子；宗教信仰；消费习惯；以及职业规划等。
