是的，国内名校的MBA课程不一定比国外差，拥有机会而不去读实在是很可惜的，所以还是劝劝你表哥再好好考虑一下吧。

It is! Top domestic MBA programs are not necessarily any worse than foreign ones. It'd would be a real pity to have an opportunity to go study there but then not take it. So I still say you should encourage your cousin to think it over.

可是现在读MBA啊，就和当年读大学一样，很多人只是觉得MBA毕业了就意味着找到了金饭碗，所以才一窝蜂地去学。就算学费再贵，也有不少的人宁愿挤破头地去争取。我表哥对此则显得比较冷静，觉得还是真正能学到东西更为重要。
kěshì xiànzài dú MBA ā ，jiù hé dāngnián dú dàxué yīyàng ，hěn duō rén zhǐshì juéde MBA bìyè le jiù yìwèi zhe zhǎodào le jīnfànwǎn ，suǒyǐ cái yīwōfēng de qù xué 。jiùsuàn xuéfèi zài guì ，yě yǒu bù shǎo de rén nìngyuàn jǐ pò tóu de qù zhēngqǔ 。wǒ biǎogē duìcǐ zé xiǎnde bǐjiào lěngjìng ，juéde hái shì zhēnzhèng néng xuédào dōngxi gèng wéi zhòngyào 。
But studying for an MBA these days is like college used to be: a lot of people think that once they've graduated, it'll be like they've found a ``golden rice bowl." That's the only reason they rush blindly off to study. No matter how high the tuition is, there will always be a lot of people willing to go all out to get accepted. My cousin is actually pretty cool toward all this stuff. He thinks it's better to actually be able to learn something.

我也不知道。听我表哥说，虽然MBA号称高级管理人才的通道，很多人都觉得MBA毕业后通常能赚大钱，可是现在国内读工商管理硕士的人多如牛毛，反而显得这个证书没什么含金量了。更何况，学费还贵得吓死人。大概他真正想考的是国外的MBA。
wǒ yě bù zhīdào 。tīng wǒ biǎogē shuō ，suīrán MBA hàochēng gāojí guǎnlǐ réncái de tōngdào ，hěn duō rén dōu juéde MBA bìyè hòu tōngcháng néng zhuàn dàqián ，kěshì xiànzài guónèi dú gōngshāng guǎnlǐ shuòshì de rén duōrúniúmáo ，fǎnér xiǎnde zhège zhèngshū méishénme hánjīnliàng le 。gènghékuàng ，xuéfèi hái guì de hèsǐ rén 。dàgài tā zhēnzhèng xiǎng kǎo de shì guówài de MBA 。
I don't know. To hear my cousin tell it, although the MBA calls itself the route to high level management, and a lot of people think that after they graduate from an MBA program they'll be able to earn a lot of money, tons of people in China go to grad school in industrial and commercial management, so there's nothing too special about the degree. What's more, the tuition is frighteningly expensive. What he'd probably really like to try for is a foreign MBA.
