嗯，一个文化节目上说的。不过盛唐时期社会风气很开明，李白也不是出生在中原地区，可能他觉得倒插门不算什么丢脸的事情。何况还有利于实现他的政治理想。

Yeah, a culture show said so. However, the social customs during the golden age of the Tang Dynasty were very open. Li Bai wasn't born in the central area of China, so perhaps he thought that living in his wife's home wasn't a loss of face. Moreover, it was beneficial in helping him achieve his political ambitions.

大概在国内，炒股已经成为大众最方便和易于接受的投资赚钱的方式之一吧。再加上前几年中国股市一路走红，让很多人对股市有一个误解，以为炒股总是会赢的。更何况以前政府过多地干预股市，让很多人觉得有政府撑腰怎么可能亏本呢，于是越来越多的人开始盲目追捧。

Probably it's because in China, speculating in stocks has already become one of the easiest and best-accepted ways to invest and make money. Plus, in the past few years, the Chinese stock market has always been on the rise. That's given a lot of people a misconception about the stock market-- that when you play the stocks, you'll always win. Even more, the government used to interfere too much in the stock market, which made a lot of people think that if it has a government guarantee, it couldn't lose money. So more and more people have started to blindly trying to get rich.

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.
