Part1SomethingAbouttheBank银行相关背景知识
    随着国际间政治、经济、文化等各个领域交流的不断扩大，国内改革开放政策的日益深入，银行在人们的日常生活中作用越来越大。不管是在国内依旧在国外，同银行打交道差不多成为人们生活中司空见惯的事。
    西方国家的银行体系专门发达，其数量之多，效率之高，服务范畴之广，无不让人感到现代文明带给人们的种种方便和优越。电脑已运用于各项银行业务，储户可在全国各地同一银行支行办理各项业务。而且所有的银行都设有自动存取机，确实是auto-bank，设在银行门口，各个街区的要紧大街，地铁站，超市旁。假如你外出不方便携带大笔款项，只需将你的存折或银行信用卡随身带上，就能随时随地存取现款了。如此既方便又安全。
    先来了解一下国外银行的一些业务常识。第一，去银行之前，先要了解银行的营业时刻。英
美银行一样在早上9：30开始营业，下午4点关门。每周五天工作制，周六周日休息。到了银行，先填存款或取款单。不管有几个人，都要自觉排队。在不人存款或取款时，你必须站在离他一两米远的地点等后，千万不要围在窗口或不人身旁。听到营业员叫时，再过去办理业务。如：I'd like to withdraw $300 from my account. 我想取300元钞票。或者I want to deposit $ 200 in my account. 我想存200美元。假如你想在这家银行开户，就能够如此讲：May I open an account here, please? 我想开户。营业员就会咨询：What type of account? 开哪一类的账户？
    英美银行业务又专门多种，如：活期存款账户，确实是：checking account；定期账户，term/fixed deposit 等等。在国外短期居留的人一样来讲办一个储蓄帐户就行了。这种账户既方便、安全又实惠，因为能获得一定的利息收入，其他形式的账户一样没有利息，而且每当你开出一张支票，银行还要扣你的服务费，也确实是service charge. 储蓄帐户又两种要紧形式，一种是(daily interest) savings account /current account. 相当于我国的活期储蓄，能够随时支取，而且有利息。另一种是premium savings account或term (fixed) deposit, 相当于我国的定期储蓄，利息是最高的。
    还有一点确实是在办理开户手续时，营业员一定会让你留下亲笔签名，signature，这是今后核对的重要依据，因此签名最好是信手写来，不要一笔一划，以防被不人仿照，给自己造成经济缺失。
    办完开户手续后，一样来讲定期储蓄当场就可拿到存单。活期储蓄一样先给一本临时存折，过一两周后就会收到银行寄给你的塑料卡，这张卡上用钢印打有你的名字和账号，你就能够用它办理你的存取款业务了。为了安全起见，你应该记住你的存折密码，然后将其销毁，以防不测。

Part 2 Open An Account 开设银行账户 
Dialogue Script 1 对话原文 1
Peter: Hi, Jenny. You look kind of worried. What's the matter?
Jenny: Oh, so good to see you! I just got my first scholarship payment.
Peter: That's great.
Jenny: Yes, but instead of cash, I got a check. I don't know what to do with it. I can't buy anything with a check, can I?
Peter: No, you can't. First, you need to deposit the check in a bank, then pay your bills by check and get some cash with your ATM card.
Jenny: But I don't have either check or an ATM card. It's so inconvenient!
Peter: It isn't. Everything is managed by a computer network. If you open an account in a local bank, you can deposit or get money from any ATM all over the city or the country; or even around the world, for that matter. We have three or four ATM machines right here on the campus. You can even get free software from the bank and pay your bills online. So it's
actually very convenient.
Jenny: I really appreciate the information. I'll go to open an account right now.
Peter: Don't forget to take your social security card. You do have one, don't you?
Jenny: Yes, I do. As soon as I arrived in the States, a friend helped me apply for one from the social security office, but I never knew what it was for.
Peter: It's for identification. When you picked up your paycheck, didn't they ask for your social security number?
Jenny: Oh, yes, they did. But I couldn't remember the number so I had to fish around in my bag to find the card.
Peter: Well, I'd learn the number by heart if I were you. You'll need it pretty soon.
Jenny: OK, I see.
Peter: Good luck at the bank. See you later.
Jenny: Thanks for your help, bye.
讲解：
2. 因为Jenny收到的是一张支票，而不是现金。支票是check, 现金是cash, 是一个统称。其中还包括bills 或notes, 指钞票，纸币。coins指硬币。例如：Excuse me, but I've no cash on me. Can I pay by check? 对不起，我周围没带现钞票，能不能用支票支付？cash那个词不仅能够做名词，还能够做动词，表示“兑换或兑现，把…换成现款”，例如：I'd like to cash this check. 我想兑现这张支票。确实是把支票上的数目兑换成现金。
3. 如此的支票是不能用来直截了当买东西的，Jenny就不明白如何办了，I don't know what to do with it. What to do with something和 how to deal with something都表示“如何处理某事”，然而动词一个用的是do,一个用的是deal, 大伙儿要注意区分了。
4. Peter 告诉Jenny讲要先把支票存在银行里，然后用支票付账或用自动提款卡提取现金。deposit，储蓄，存放。例如：She deposited her money in the bank. 她把钞票存在银行里。 那取款确实是withdraw，例如：He withdrew $500 from his bank account yesterday. 他昨天从银行账户里提了500美金。
5. ATM card, 自动提款机卡，ATM 是自动提款机，也确实是automatic teller machine的开头字母缩写。teller, 确实是在银行窗口工作的营业员。Jenny既没有支票也没有自动提款机卡，因为她觉得这两样东西都不是专门方便。然而Peter却不如此认为，因为只要在一个银行开了户，就能够在全市、全国甚至全世界的联网支行里存取款。open an account, 确实是开户，close an account, 确实是销户。
