Wang:
I would like to open an account.

我要开立一个账户。
Clerk:
A deposit account or a current account?

没有支票的存款帐户还是有支票的活期存款帐户?
Wang:
Er, I am not sure. You see, I have monthly remittances sent to me from China and I would like to have the money paid into an account.

哦,我也拿不定主意。你知道,中国每个月有汇款寄给我,我要把它存入帐户。
Clerk:
Then you’d better open a current account. The bank will give you a cheque book and you can take money out when you like.

那么你还是开立一个有支票的活期存款账户为好。银行将给你一本支票薄,你随时可以取出存款。
Wang:
Fine. What do I have to do?

好的,我该办些什么手续呢?
Clerk:
Just fill in this form. Do you have any means of identification on you?

只要填一下这张表格。你是否带有身份证明文件?
Wang:
Will my passport do?

我的护照可以吗?
Clerk:
Sure.

当然可以。
