特種儲蓄章程

Situation 21

情景 21

Sally Berklin wants information about the Savings Bond plan at the First National Bank.

薩利·伯克蘭在第一國民銀行想得知一些有關(guān)儲蓄債券章程的信息，

She is talking to the manager of the Savings Department .

她正在和儲蓄部門經(jīng)理談話。

Berklin:What do you mean about the Savings Bond plan?Is it possible for me to use that type of account ,too?

伯克蘭：您所說的儲蓄債券章程是什么意思?我是否也能使用這種帳戶呢?

Manager:Yes,of course .We offer it to all our customers.Our Savings Bond program offers our highest rate of interest for long-term savers.

經(jīng)理：當(dāng)然可以，我們向所有顧客提供這種帳戶。我們的儲蓄債券章程對長期存款儲戶提供最高利率。

Actually ,they are certificates of deposit for maturities of six to ten years ,

實(shí)際上它們是定期為6到10年的存單，

and are available in any amount from $5,000 to $100,000.

存款額從5，000美元到100，000美元的任何定期存單。

B:Oh,they are only for people with lots of money .

伯克蘭：哦，這個章程只是為那些很有錢的人設(shè)立的。

M:Well ,actually you'd be surprised at the number of middle-income people who use this program ,especially retired people.

經(jīng)理：實(shí)際上，相當(dāng)多的中等收入的人特別是退休的人都用這種章程，您會對其使用人數(shù)之多感到驚奇。

You see ,we pay accumulated interest by bank check every quarter.

您看，我們每個委度都以銀行支票的形式向顧客支付累計利息，

So they are almost like an investment plan .

因此，這些存款幾乎就是一筆投資規(guī)劃。

B:That sounds very nice.But what if I have to cash in the Savings Bond before maturity?

伯克蘭：聽起來真不錯，但是如果我不得不提前兌現(xiàn)儲蓄債券怎么辦?

M;Well,unfortunately ,you would incur a penalty ,as with any premature cancellation of a time deposit .

經(jīng)理：很遺憾，就象提前支取定期存款一樣，您得接受一定罰款。

But we encourage customers not to buy Savings Bonds unless they are reasonably sure they can hold them until matuity .

但是，我們希望顧客們十分確信有把握直到期滿才支取存款，再來購買儲蓄債券。

B;They sound like an excellent investment idea,especially the advantage of receiving earned interest every three months .

伯克蘭：聽起來這是個極好的投資辦法，特別是每3個月就能得到利息的好處。

I'll consider placing some of my savings in Savings Bonds as soon as I save enough.

等我把錢攢夠了，我馬一考慮把我的一部分積蓄換成儲蓄債券。
