為什么全世界那么多人想到哈佛讀MBA？什么是案例教學(xué)法
來聽今天的講解:
A: Bravo！
好極了 ！
B: Hey, John, what made you so excited?
梅，約翰，是什么讓你這么興奮？
A: The markets closed strongly last week. The S&P 500 finished up 0.74%, while the DJIA rose 0.65% and the NASDAQ gained 0.19%.
上周股票市場強(qiáng)勢收盤。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾500指數(shù)收盤0.74%,道瓊斯工業(yè)平均指數(shù)(DJIA )上漲0.65 % ,納斯達(dá)克指數(shù)增進(jìn)0.19 %。
B: What are you talking about?
你在說什么呢？
A: The stock markets.
股票市場。
B: Did the markets rebound? But, are you speculating in the stock market?
股市反彈了嗎？你在投資股票嗎？
A:Of course not. I’m just interested in economy and business.
當(dāng)然不是。我只是對經(jīng)濟(jì)和商業(yè)感興趣而已。
B: You always surprise me. Hello, Mr. All-round.
你總是讓我吃驚。你好，全能先生！
A: I told you I，ll study business administration for my master degree.
我跟你說過我碩士會讀工商管理專業(yè)。
B: Did you? (Han thinks for a while.) Oh, yes, you did. Business administration is promising.
是嗎？（ 梅梅想了一會。)哦，是的，你說過。工商管理很有前途。
A: Not all the time. Due to the financial crisis, a lot of people on Wall Street have lost their jobs.
也并不總是這樣的。由于金融危機(jī)，華爾街的很多人都失業(yè)了。
B: Indeed. As far as I know, in the first half of 2007, the Chinese stock market was still the bull market. Then in the second half year, it plunged and became a bear market.
是的。據(jù)我所知，在2007車前半車，中國的股市還是牛市，但到了后半年，股市就開始下跌變成了熊市。
A: Things are getting better now. So I’m still bullish on business administration.
現(xiàn)在情況有所好轉(zhuǎn)。所以我仍然看好工商管理專業(yè)。
B: MBA is very popular now. What’s so good about it?
MBA現(xiàn)在非常流行。它有什么好的呀？
A: I don’t know how other people see it, I want to learn it out of interest.
我不知道其他人怎么看待工商管理，我是出于興趣才想學(xué)它的。
B: But a lot of people just follow the crowd, believing that MBA can bring them status and money.
但是許多人僅僅是隨大流，認(rèn)為MBA能帶給他們地位和金錢。
A: That may be an important reason why so many people all over the world want to study Harvard’s MBA,
這可能是為什么全世界那么多人想到哈佛讀MBA的一個重要原因吧。
B: Why Harvard? I’m not saying it’s not good. I heard that it is only ranked third in the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings 2010 and in Forbes Best Business Schools. It is even rank I4tb in Wall Street Journal MBA Rankings.
為什么是哈佛？我不是說哈佛不好。我聽說哈佛的MBA在《金融時報》2010年全球MBA排名和福布斯最佳商學(xué)院中只排第3,甚至在《華爾街日報》MBA排名 中只排第14位。
A: I never believe in those alleged rankings. I only believe that Harvard Business School is the founder of MBA and the case method which is used worldwide.
我從來不相信這些所謂的排名。我只相信哈佛商學(xué)院是MBA和全世界都在用的案例教學(xué)法的奠基者。
B: What’s the case method?
什么是案例教學(xué)法？
A: That is to say, professors provide a case for you to study. It is more materialized, rather than purely theoretical.
就是敎?zhǔn)诮o你一個案例讓你去研究。案例是更實體化的，而不是純理論的。
B:Oh, I see. Nevertheless, I admire those people, including you, needless to say. It must be demanding to finish MBA study at Harvard.
哦，我明白了。我羨慕那些人，不用說也包括你啦。在哈佛大學(xué)完成MBA學(xué)業(yè)的要求一定很高。
A: How to say. It’s quite odd that in the first year, students will be burdened with courses that lead you nowhere. In the second year, however, life will be surprisingly easy.
怎么說呢。很奮怪，第一年課程很多讓你設(shè)時間做其他事，但是第二年生活就變得很輕松。
B: How does it happen?
為什么呢？
A: Almost 75% of the tasks are compressed to be finished in the first year. Then 20% are left to the first semester of the second year. By the last semester few tasks are left.
大約75%的學(xué)習(xí)都被壓縮在第一年完成。還有20 %安排在第二年的第一學(xué)期，最后一個學(xué)期就剩下很少的工作了。
B: That is really unbalanced. So，only two years?
這也太不平衡了。這么說學(xué)習(xí)時間只有兩年嗎？
A:Yes, but in these two years, students have to analyze more than 800 cases, about one case each day.
是的。但在這兩年里，學(xué)生必須要分析800多個案例，差不多每天一個。
B: Given the imbalance of the tasks, students of the first year will work around the clock.
考慮到學(xué)習(xí)安排的不平衡，學(xué)生在第一年得夜以繼日地工作吧。
A: They do. They often stay up until one or two in the morning and go to class at eight, or sleep even less.
是這樣的。學(xué)生經(jīng)常熬夜到半夜一兩點(diǎn)，早上八點(diǎn)又要去上課,有的睡眠時間更少。
B: No pains, no gains.
一分耕転，一分收獲嘛。
A: Then in class, they have to be prepared for the questions from professors.
在課堂上，他們還要準(zhǔn)備回答教授的問題。
B: I can say “sorry” or “pass”.
可以說“對不起，我不會”或者"放棄”呀。
A: That’s a big no-no. If you pass twice, you’ll never receive your degree. Three times, sorry, you go home.
這可是大忌。如果你放棄兩次，就永遠(yuǎn)別想拿到學(xué)位。放棄三次，對不起，回家吧。
B: Oh, My God! That’s quite different from Chinese universities. Are all American graduate colleges like this?
哦，天哪！這和中國的大學(xué)太不一樣了。所有的美國研究生院都是這樣的嗎？
A: Not really. But they definitely demand more from students. It’s good for students.
不見得。但是對學(xué)生的要求確實很高。這對學(xué)生有好處。
