Rogers:That's Mr.Sunderland ,our president .He is responsible to the Board of Directors, 罗杰斯：我们的董事长森德先生，他负责董事会的工作。 Which is elected by the stockholders.He is assisted by the senior vicepresidents , 是由全体股东选举出来的。高级副董事长协助他进行工作， vice-presidents and assistant vice-presidents . 还有副董事长和助理董事长。 A;How many vice-presidents do you have ? 安德森：你们有多少副董事长? R:There are quite a few .Usually each department is headed by a vicepresident or an assistant cashier . 罗杰斯：有不少呢，通常每个部门都有一个副董事长或者一个助理司库 作为领导， That's the lowest -ranking officer position in most banks. 助理司库是大多数银行中主管级别中最低的一级。 A:Aren't all department managers officers? 安德森：并不是所有部门的经理都是主管级的吧? R;No,not all of them are .Actually ,the word officer means a person authorized by the Board of directors to represent the bank in certain dealings . 罗杰斯：对，不全是主管级。实际上主管人员这个名词表示这个人得到 了董事会授权，代表银行经营某些业务的人。 It doesn't necessarily represent his function in a department . 这个词并不一定表示他在一个部门的职权。 For example ,my boss is not a bank officer ,he is chief teller . 譬如说，我的上司并不是银行的主管级人员，他是出纳主任。 If we were an officer ,his title would be assistant-cashier and chiefteller. 如果他是主管级人员的话，他的职称应是助理司库和出纳主任。 A:That sounds very confusing .Why don't banks just make all department managers officers? 安德森：听起来另人费解。为什么银行不让所有的部门经理都成为主管 级呢? R:It's part of the bank's system of assigning authority and responsibility . 罗杰斯：这是标志权力和责任的银行制度的部分内容。 After all,banks have special obligations to their depositors because we are handling their money ,not only our own. 银行对于它们我储户毕竟有着特殊的责任，因为我们正经营着他们的钱 ， 而不仅仅是我们自己的钱。 A;That's right.And I am a depositor ,too.I've got $37.50 in my account. 安德森：是的。我本人也是个储户，在我的帐户里存着 37 美元 50 美分。 关于银行业务情景对话二： John Anderson's girl-friend ,Betty Rogers ,is a teller at the First National Bank. 约翰·安德森的女友贝蒂·罗杰斯是第一国民银行的出纳员。 She is explaining the operation and organization of the bank to John. 她正给约翰解释银行的业务和组织。 Rogers:Our bank is organized into a number of departments ,each of which is responsible for a particular area of business. 罗杰斯：我们的银行分成许多部门，每一部门都负责某一特定的业务。 For example ,the Trust Department handles investments ,the Collateral Department keeps loan records and pledged securities , 譬如说，信托部门从事投资，证券担保部门负责保存贷款记录和抵押有 价证券， and the Real Estate Department handles mortgage oans on real estate. 不动产部门负责不动产方面的抵押贷款。 Anderson:What department are you in ?You 're a teller ,aren't you? 安德森：您在哪个部门?您是一位出纳员吧?

R:No,that's the job of the General Ledger Department .That's the department that is the central bookkeeper for the bank . 罗杰斯：不，那是总帐部门的工作，那个部门就是银行的中央簿记处。 Of course ,modern banks keep such records in computers instead of in ledgers. 当然了，现代银行把这样一些记录保存在计算机里而不是保存在总帐簿 中。
