W:I can't tell you that,can I ?If I told you about some of our secret precautions ,they wouldn't be secret any more .

韋恩：這個我不能告訴你了，對嗎?如果我把我們的一些秘密防備措施都告訴你，這些就不再是秘密措施了。

F:Yes, I guess you're right .And I'll never rob a bank,so I'll never have the chance to find out about all your secrets to prevent robberies.

朋友：是的，我想你是對的。我是絕對不會搶銀行的，因此，我也絕不會有機(jī)會去發(fā)現(xiàn)你們防盜的全部秘密措施了。

Banking and Computers

銀行與計算機(jī)

Betty Rogers, a teller at the First National Bank,is explaining the bank's computer system to one of her customers .

第一國民銀行的出納員貝蒂·羅杰斯正在向一位顧客解釋銀行的計算機(jī)系統(tǒng)。

Customers:What do you mean by the term on-line system?

顧客：“聯(lián)機(jī)系統(tǒng)”這個詞是什么意思?

Rogers:Basically ,it means that all our branches are connected to our central computer system,Sir .

羅杰斯：基本上講，它的含義是說，我們所有的分機(jī)都與我們的中央計算機(jī)設(shè)備相聯(lián)系，先生。

This permits us to process transactions right away .

這就使得我們能當(dāng)即處理各項業(yè)務(wù)交易。

C:Do you mean that deposits and withdrawals are posted to my account immediately ?

顧客：您是說，存款和取款能夠馬上過帳到我的帳戶上嗎?

R:Yes,we process cash transactions as soon as they take place .Check deposits are credited ,subject to collection .

羅杰斯：是的，對于現(xiàn)金交易，我們當(dāng)時就可以處理，而支票儲蓄就要把款項經(jīng)托收后才可劃入貨方。

C:You mean that I can't draw against a deposit by check until the proceeds are collected from the bank on which the check is drawn?

顧客：您是說，只有從開票行取回款項之后，我才能用支票兌換現(xiàn)金。

R:Yes,that's right .But it only takes overnight for any bank in the city and just a day or two for banks outside the city .

羅杰斯：是這樣的，但是對于市內(nèi)的任何一個銀行來說，這只需要花費隔夜的時間，而對于外地銀行，也只需一、兩天時間就可取回款項。

C:Do you keep all savings account records on computer?

顧客：你們把所有儲蓄帳戶記錄都保存在計算機(jī)中嗎?
