Opening a Bank Account

Next, please. May I help you, sir?

下一位，请。先生，有什么能帮您的吗？

Hello, yes, I’d like to open a bank account.

你好，是的，我想开一个银行账户。

Certainly, I can help you with that. What type of account would you like to open? A chequing or a savings account?

当然可以，我可以帮您办理。您想开哪种账户？支票账户还是储蓄账户？

What What features do they offer?

它们有什么功能？

Well, if you just take a look here, see, with our chequing account, you can have unlimited daily transactions for a small monthly fee, and our savings account has a higher interest rate, but you must carry a minimum balance of $10,000 dollars.

嗯，您看这里，我们的支票账户每月只需支付少量月费即可享受无限次日常交易，而储蓄账户利率更高，但必须保持一万美元的最低余额。

I see, well, I think I’m more interested in a chequing account; I like to have easy access to my money.

我明白了，嗯，我想我对支票账户更感兴趣；我喜欢能随时取用我的钱。

Alright, then, with this chequing account you’ll be issued a debit card and a cheque book. Will you require overdraft protection? There is an extra fee for that.

好的，那么办理这个支票账户后，您会收到一张借记卡和一本支票簿。您需要透支保护吗？这项服务需要额外收费。

No, that won’t be necessary.

不，不需要。

In that case, I’ll get you to fill out this paperwork; I’ll need your social insurance number, and two pieces of government ID. If you could just sign here, and here, and here; we’ll be all set. Would you like to make a deposit today?

这样的话，我请您填写一下这些表格；我需要您的社会保险号以及两份政府签发的身份证件。请您在这里、这里和这里签名；这样就可以了。今天您要存款吗？

Yes, I’d like to deposit one billion dollars.

是的，我想存十亿美元。
