现代美国英语口语词典
银行日常会话
Daily Bank Speech
提示:
银行日常业务种类繁多,我们学习时要从最一般的业务术语开始。从银行职员角度来说最大量的就是存款、取款、兑换、记账、转账等等。对这些术语,要做到烂熟于胸,到正式会话时才能脱口而出。此外,还要熟悉一些常见的句型和表达方式,我们编排的每例的问候、陈述、或者发问都是最常用的句式,大部分句式后面还有一些语法说明。本章后面还附有短文《部分准备金》,请仔细阅读。
1、早上好,先生。您想要兑换吗?
Good morning, sir. Would you like to change money?
与顾客打招呼,首先当然要问好,然后转入正题。例如:
Good afternoon, madam. What can I do for you?
(下午好,太太。我能帮你的忙吗?)

5、您的存款余额是6000元人民币。

在金融上,“balance”一词有多种表达意义,分别为“平衡,差额,余额”等等,翻译时尤其要注意。如:
Please record the balance in ledge. (请记下这总账的余额。)
The balance of clearing is U.S.$20,000. (清算余额为2万美金。)
