1--I can't seem to progress up the career ladder no matter how hard I try and I have been here for 2 years already!
2--Well, have you thought of getting an MBA? I heard it does wonders in getting you to the top.
1--An MBA, hey. . . well my degree wasn't in business, the business schools won't be interested in me.
2--Nonsense! The business schools measure your ability through a test called GMAT.
1--GMAT? What does that stand for and what will the test contain? GMAT?
1--Graduate Management Admission Test, it contains three parts: Analytical Writing Assessment, the Quantitative section, and the Verbal section. Not only does the test mark you on the number of questions answered but also on the difficulty.
1--Okay, this sounds a little tough, how am I supposed to practice for this?
2--Up to you, you could have a one on one session with a tutor or group sessions, you can also use free or private computer software. Going to church might help as well!
1--No matter what I do, I'm going to ace this test and go on to become a corporate fat cat!
2--Umm.That's the spirit!

譯文:
1--我已經(jīng)在這里工作2年了,似乎我怎么努力也沒有晉升的機(jī)會(huì)。
2--嗯,你想過考MBA嗎?我聽說(shuō)如果你想到高層,這個(gè)很有用。
1--工商管理學(xué)碩士……嘿,我不是在經(jīng)商,所以商學(xué)院不會(huì)錄取我的。
2--胡說(shuō)!商學(xué)院通過GMAT來(lái)測(cè)試你的能力。
1--這個(gè)考試具體是什么意思呢?
2--研究生管理專業(yè)入學(xué)考試。他包括三個(gè)部分:分析寫作評(píng)價(jià),數(shù)學(xué)部分,和語(yǔ)文部分。測(cè)試打分不僅看你答題的數(shù)量還包括難度。
1--好的,這聽起來(lái)有點(diǎn)難,但是我真的應(yīng)該試著去考嗎?
2--取決于你自己,你可以請(qǐng)老師一對(duì)一進(jìn)行指導(dǎo),也可以參加小組,或者使用電腦軟件。去教堂可能也會(huì)對(duì)你有所幫助!
1--不管我做了什么,我都會(huì)努力取得好成績(jī),向高層進(jìn)軍。
2--嗯,要的就是這種精神!
