銀行存錢最安全

At the bank， Amber must wait for another client before her turn. Then she gets some general account information before being directed to the right place for opening a new account.

Clerk: Good afternoon， Miss. What can I do for you?

Lady: Could you give me my account balance? My account number is ...

Clerk: Just a moment， please (enters the account number into the computer). Your name?

Lady: Barbara Winters.

Clerk: Here is your balance (hands her a computer printout).

Lady: Thank you. I want to make a withdrawal of $150.

Clerk: (fills in a withdrawal slip， gives it to the lady to sign， processes the withdrawal， and gives her the money).Here you go， Miss.

Lady: Thank you (she leaves， and now its Amber's turn).

Amber: Hello， I'd like to open an account， please.

Clerk: Yes， Miss. Would you like to open a savings account or a checking account?

Amber: Just a savings account for now. Can you tell me how much interest my money will earn?

Clerk: The current rate is 4.5%. You'll have to go to the Customer Service desk to apply for a new account， Miss (points to the Customer Service counter).

Amber: I see. Thank you.

到了銀行，必須先等前一個(gè)客戶辦理完了才輪到Amber。在開戶頭之前她又問了一些有關(guān)這方面的常識。

Clerk: 下午好，小姐。我能為您效勞嗎？

Lady: 你能幫我查一下我的賬戶嗎？我的賬號是……

Clerk: 請稍等一下。（將賬號輸入電腦）請問您的名字？

Lady: Barbara Winters.

Clerk: 這是您的余額。（遞給她一張電腦打出來的條）

Lady: 謝謝。我想取150美元。

Clerk: ( 填一個(gè)存款單，讓那位女士簽名，手續(xù)完了后把錢給她 ) 可以了，小姐。

Lady: 謝謝。（她走了，現(xiàn)在該輪到Amber了）

Amber: 你好，我想開個(gè)戶頭。

Clerk: 好的，小姐。你想開現(xiàn)金戶頭還是支票戶頭？

Amber: 目前我只要一個(gè)一般戶頭。你能告訴我利息是多少嗎？

Clerk: 小姐，現(xiàn)在的利率是4.5% 。你得去服務(wù)臺申請一個(gè)新戶頭。（指著服務(wù)臺）

Amber: 我知道了。謝謝。
