In the year just ended， four of Japan’s top 10 best-sellers were about how blood type determines personality. The series—one each for types B， O， A， and AB—has combined sales of well over five million copies.

As defined by the books， type As are sensitive 3)perfectionists but overanxious; type Bs are cheerful but 4)eccentric and selfish; Os are curious， generous but 5)stubborn; and ABs are arty but mysterious and 6)unpredictable.

All that may sound like a 7)horoscope， but the public doesn’t seem to care.

Even Prime Minister Taro Aso seems to consider it important enough to reveal in his official profile on the Web. He’s an A. His rival， 8)opposition leader Ichiro Ozawa， is a B. Matchmaking agencies provide blood-type 9)compatibility tests， and some companies make decisions about 10)assignments based on employees’ blood types.

血型決定性格?

在日本，“你是什么型?”這句話并不僅僅是閑聊的話題。從找對象到找工作，這個問題可能在各種各樣的事情上都至關重要。

這個“型”，日本人指的是血型，再多的科學解密也無法阻止“血型表明一切”這種觀念的廣為流傳。

在剛剛過去的一年里，日本前十位的暢銷書中就有四本是講述血型如何決定性格的。這一系列的書——每本講一種血型:B型、O型、A型和AB型——總計銷量遠超五百萬本。

就如書上所說，A型的人是敏感的完美主義者，但卻過分焦慮;B型的人樂觀開朗但又古怪自私;O型的人充滿好奇，慷慨大方但固執;而AB型的人很有藝術氣質，但神秘而難以捉摸。

所有這些聽起來就像是占星術，但公眾似乎并不介意。

甚至連日本首相麻生太郎也似乎覺得它很重要，并將自己的血型公布在其官方網頁的個人簡介中。他是A型。而他的對手，反對黨領袖小澤一郎則是B型。婚介機構提供血型匹配測試，有的公司還根據雇員的血型去分配工作任務。
