喜樂美語
  1. 1nB2/ˈbæŋkɪŋ/銀行業

    The business that banks do — keeping people's money safe, lending money, and moving money between people and companies — and also the whole industry that banks belong to.

    示範例句 · Example

    Leo's aunt works in banking, so she can explain how a loan works.

    逐字里歐的阿姨在銀行業工作，所以她可以解釋一筆貸款是怎麼運作的。

    「banking」講的是「銀行在做的那些事」——幫人保管存款、把錢借出去、幫人把錢轉來轉去——也可以指整個「銀行這一行」。它是不可數名詞，所以不說 a banking，也沒有複數。可以想成 bank 加上 -ing，把銀行做的全部工作包成一個字；所以 work in banking 是「在銀行業工作」，online banking 是「在網路上辦銀行的事」。

core核心畫面

You can picture everything banks actually do, taken together as one line of work: holding people's money safely, lending it out, and moving it between people and companies — and then the whole industry built on doing that.

可以想成把銀行在做的事整個打包成一個名字：替人保管錢、把錢借出去、在人跟公司之間把錢移來移去。這個字的畫面可以拉遠也可以拉近——拉近看是「辦銀行的那些事」（像網路轉帳、開戶），拉遠看就是由所有銀行組成的那一整個行業。
