347　Customer Appreciation Day 感谢顾客日

I have several accounts at a bank. When I entered to deposit a sizable check, I noticed that streamers and balloons filled the lobby. I didn't stop to see what the celebration was about. At the counter, the teller said a hold would be placed on my check because there wasn't enough money in my account to cover it. I argued that with all my accounts combined, there were more than enough funds. The teller went to speak with the manager. She returned, with a sour face, and curtly informed me she would go ahead and credit the check to my account. As I left, I asked her, “By the way, why is the bank decorated?” Under her breath she said, “It's customer appreciation day.”

我在一家银行里开有几个账户。当我到银行里去存一张大面额支票的时候，我看到大厅里布满了彩带和气球。我没停下来看看这是庆祝什么。在柜台上，出纳员对我说，因为我账户里的钱数少于支票面额，所以支票需要压一段时间才可以动用。我争辩说，把我几个账户加在一起，钱数就超过支票面额了。那个出纳员就进去找经理。她拉长了脸回来，生硬地说她会把支票上的钱数加到我的账户上。我即将离开的时候问她：“顺便问一下，银行为什么装扮得这么漂亮？”她小声地说：“今天是感谢顾客日。”
