那你今年要失望了，他拍了一部武侠传奇片，完全颠覆了以往的风格。我真不明白为什么中国导演现在一窝蜂地去拍这类电影。还是王家卫坚持自我，不同题材都能拍得非常有自己的个性。

Well, this year you are going to be disappointed because he shot a medieval period style film instead. It's completely different from his previous style. I really don't understand why all the Chinese directors are flocking to this type of film now. Wang Kar-wai has stayed true to himself. He can make movies about different themes that all have his own personal ``stamp."

大概很多人都像你这么想吧，所以一到十一黄金周，大家都一窝蜂地出去旅游，结果不仅交通变得十分拥挤，机票车票很难预定，而且旅游胜地也是人山人海，根本无法真正地享受旅游的乐趣。对我来说，旅游高峰期的时候出去玩，简直是受罪。

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。

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.
