　　银行存钱最安全
　　
　　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.
　　到了银行，必须先等前一个客户办理完了才轮到Amber。在开户头之前她又问了一些有关这方面的常识。
　　
　　Clerk: 下午好，小姐。我能为您效劳吗？
　　Lady: 你能帮我查一下我的账户吗？我的账号是……
　　Clerk: 请稍等一下。（将账号输入电脑）请问您的名字？
　　Lady: Barbara Winters.
　　Clerk: 这是您的余额。（递给她一张电脑打出来的条）
　　Lady: 谢谢。我想取150美元。
　　Clerk: ( 填一个存款单，让那位女士签名，手续完了后把钱给她 ) 可以了，小姐。
　　Lady: 谢谢。（她走了，现在该轮到Amber了）
　　Amber: 你好，我想开个户头。
　　Clerk: 好的，小姐。你想开现金户头还是支票户头？
　　Amber: 目前我只要一个一般户头。你能告诉我利息是多少吗？
　　Clerk: 小姐，现在的利率是4.5% 。你得去服务台申请一个新户头。（指着服务台）
　　Amber: 我知道了。谢谢。
