 　　A: Foreign Currency Deposits Counter, yes. What can I do for you?

　　这是外汇存款柜台，您好。我能为您做些什么吗？

　　B: You see, I have these Euros, and of course they are of no use to me at the moment. So I'd like to save them in my account, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

　　你看，我有一些欧元，当然了，这些钱目前对我来说没什么用。所以 我想存到我的账户里，但我不知道怎么做。

　　A: OK. We offer 2 types of saving systems:Time Savings¹ and Demand Savings. With Time Savings your money cannot be withdrawn² for a certain period of time,but with Demand Savings your money is "on demand",you can withdraw at any time.

　　好的。我们提供两种储蓄方式：定期存款和活期存款。存定期的话， 您在一定的时间内不能取，存活期的话，您的钱是"活的"，随时可以取。

　　B: I see. What's the interest like on those?

　　我明白了。这些存款方式的利息是怎么样的？

　　A: There's quite a large difference. I mean, if you were to use demand deposit we could give you 0.13% interest, but for a time deposit, of say,1 year we would offer 0.82%.

　　有挺大的差异。就是说，如果你存活期的我们可以给您按0.13%的计息，但存定期的话，比如说一年期的，我们可以给您按0.82%计算。
