史密斯：我不明白你所說的商業(yè)銀行是什么意思，湯姆，所有銀行不都是一樣的嗎?

Brown :No ,there are different types of banks ,Mary .

布郎：不是的，有著各種不同類型的銀行，瑪麗。

Usually the word bank refers only to the commercial banks like the one I work for .

通常講“銀行”這個詞僅僅是指商業(yè)銀行，就象我工作的這家銀行一樣。

They're the banks that offer a full range of checking and savings-account services and make all kinds of loans .

這種銀行提供支票和儲蓄全套的服務(wù)，并從事各種類型的貸款事宜。

史密斯：噢，那么還有哪些類型的銀行呢?

B:The second large category is called the Savings and Loan Association or the Building and Loan Association .

Some people call them Savings Banks,but they are technically not banks .

一些人稱它們?yōu)閮π钽y行。但是，從法律上講，它們并不是銀行，

史密斯：“互助儲蓄銀行”是怎么回事?業(yè)務(wù)內(nèi)容是什么呢?

Usually they specialize in mortgages ,too.

通常，它們也是專門從事抵押業(yè)務(wù)。

S:Why don't they offer checking accounts like your bank does ?

史密斯：它們?yōu)槭裁床幌竽銈兊你y行一樣提供支票帳戶服務(wù)呢?

B:They are organized for different purposes and they don't have the authority to offer checking accouts.
