    Situation 12
    情景 12
    John Anderson and Betty Rogers continue their discussion about the operation and organization of her bank .
    約翰·安德森和貝蒂·羅杰斯繼續(xù)談?wù)撚嘘P(guān)貝蒂所在銀行的業(yè)務(wù)和組織機構(gòu)。
    Anderson:Who is the highest officer of the bank ?
    安德森:誰是銀行中級的職員?
    Rogers:That's Mr.Sunderland ,our president .He is responsible to the Board of Directors,
    羅杰斯:我們的董事長森德先生,他負責董事會的工作。
    Which is elected by the stockholders.He is assisted by the senior vice-presidents ,
    是由全體股東選舉出來的。高級副董事長協(xié)助他進行工作,
    vice-presidents and assistant vice-presidents .
    還有副董事長和助理董事長。
    A;How many vice-presidents do you have ?
    安德森:你們有多少副董事長?
    R:There are quite a few .Usually each department is headed by a vice-president or an assistant cashier .
    羅杰斯:有不少呢,通常每個部門都有一個副董事長或者一個助理司庫作為領(lǐng)導,
    That's the lowest -ranking officer position in most banks.
    助理司庫是大多數(shù)銀行中主管級別中最低的一級。
    A:Aren't all department managers officers?
    安德森:并不是所有部門的經(jīng)理都是主管級的吧?
    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 .
    羅杰斯:對,不全是主管級。實際上主管人員這個名詞表示這個人得到了董事會授權(quán),代表銀行經(jīng)營某些業(yè)務(wù)的人。
    It doesn't necessarily represent his function in a department .
    這個詞并不一定表示他在一個部門的職權(quán)。
    For example ,my boss is not a bank officer ,he is chief teller .
    譬如說,我的上司并不是銀行的主管級人員,他是出納主任。
    If we were an officer ,his title would be assistant-cashier and chief-teller.
    如果他是主管級人員的話,他的職稱應(yīng)是助理司庫和出納主任。
    A:That sounds very confusing .Why don't banks just make all department managers officers?
    安德森:聽起來另人費解。為什么銀行不讓所有的部門經(jīng)理都成為主管級呢?
    R:It's part of the bank's system of assigning authority and responsibility .
    羅杰斯:這是標志權(quán)力和責任的銀行制度的部分內(nèi)容。
    After all,banks have special obligations to their depositors because we are handling their money ,not only our own.
    銀行對于它們我儲戶畢竟有著特殊的責任,因為我們正經(jīng)營著他們的錢,而不僅僅是我們自己的錢。
    A;That's right.And I am a depositor ,too.I've got $37.50 in my account.
    安德森:是的。我本人也是個儲戶,在我的帳戶里存著37美元50美分。
