Marnie turned sixteen last month. She got her first real job at a shop. Now she wanted to open a bank account.
玛妮上个月满了十六岁。她在一家商店找到了人生第一份正式工作。现在她想开一个银行账户。
She walked into the bank near her house. A man at the desk smiled at her. His name tag said Fenwick.
她走进家附近的银行。柜台后的一位男士对她微笑。他的名牌上写着芬威克。
"I want to save my money," Marnie said. "Can you help me?"
“我想存钱，”玛妮说，“您能帮我吗？”
"Of course," Fenwick said. "We have two accounts for you."
“当然可以，”芬威克说，“我们有两种账户适合你。”
He showed her the first account on his screen. "This one has no fees at all. You can take out cash any day."
他在屏幕上给她看第一种账户。“这种完全没有手续费。你每天都可以取现金。”
Then he showed her the second account. "This one pays you a little extra each month. But you can only visit the bank once a week."
接着他给她看第二种账户。“这种每个月会多给你一点利息。不过你每周只能来银行一次。”
Marnie thought for a minute. She liked to buy small things on weekends. She also wanted her money to grow slowly.
玛妮想了一会儿。她喜欢周末买些小东西，也希望自己的钱能慢慢增加。
"I take out cash a lot," she said. "The first account fits my life."
“我经常取现金，”她说，“第一种账户更适合我的生活。”
Fenwick nodded and printed some papers. Marnie signed her name three times. He gave her a new bank card.
芬威克点点头，打印了几份文件。玛妮签了三次名。他给了她一张新的银行卡。
"Welcome to the bank," Fenwick said. Marnie put the card in her wallet. She walked out and texted her mom the news.
“欢迎成为我们的客户。”芬威克说。玛妮把卡放进钱包，走出银行，给妈妈发短信报告了这个消息。
