Passage 1

Banks also provide international collection rvices by acting

as agents for drafts drawn by exporters and others obligated to

make payment to them. In collecting international items, banks

act only as agents. That is, they will advance all or a percentage

of the pending collection, but they do not accept any liability if

collection problems occur. The drawer must return any advances

if drafts are not honored. Banks do not take title to drafts when

they collect them. They make their profits in the transactions

solely from collection fees.

银行还在开立汇票的出口商和应向出口商偿付的其他各方面充当

代理，来提供国际托收服务。在进行国际项目托收时，银行只作为代

理人行事。也就是说，他们会垫付全部或某一百分比的托收款项，但

如果发生托收问题他们不承担任何责任。如果汇票遭到拒付，出票人

必须退还垫款。银行在进行托收时并不对汇票享有所有权，它们只是

从这些交易的托收手续费中获利。

International collections may be clean, that is, the collection

is made without accompanying or attached documentation.

Checks, traveler’s checks, and money orders are collected

cleanly. Collections that involve documentation are more

complicated and more common in international transactions.

Examples of the of types of transactions are sight and time

drafts generated by letters of credit.

国际托收可以是光票，即没有跟附的或附加的单证。支票、旅行

支票和汇款单都是光票托收。跟单托收更为复杂且多用于国际交易中。

例如，由信用证产生的即期和远期汇票就是跟单托收。

Passage 2

There has been an incread u of electronic transfer

systems within and among major countries and financial center

of the world. For example, the Society for World-wide Interbank

Financial Telecommunications, an electronic message system,

was established in the late 1970s as a cooperative who more

than 4000 members are the world’s leading banks. SWIFT

transfers instructions for as many as 2 500 000 daily financial

transactions at a cost of 29 1/2$ each. Although SWIFT does not

directly transfer funds, it does provide a safe, rapid low-cost

means of facilitating international funds flows. Given the

computer innovations being applied to electronic funds transfers.

SWIFT-like institutions will increa the productivity of

international banking. It is expected that stockbrokers may soon

be admitted to membership in SWIFT since banks are rapidly

moving into the brokerage business.

在各个大国和金融中心内部以及它们相互之间，电子资金划拨系

统的使用有了很大的增长。例如，环球银行金融电讯协会（SWIFT），

一种电子信息系统，就是一个1970年代末成立的合作型组织，其

4000多家成员包括全世界的各个大银行。SWIFT每天为多达250万

笔的金融交易传输指令，每笔指令仅收费29.5美分。尽管SWIFT并不

直接划拨资金，但它的确提供了一种安全.快速.低成本的便于国际资金

流动的手段。如果电脑的革新应用于电子资金划拨，SWIFT类型的机

构将使国际银行业的产出有所增长。不久股票经纪人即可望获准加入

SWIFT，因为银行正在迅速地介入经纪人业务。

When you buy insurance, you enter into a written agreement

with insurance company. This agreement is called a policy. The

person who buys insurance is the policyholder. According to the

agreement the insurance company promis to pay the

policyholders if certain types of loss occur. The policy states

exactly what loss the company will pay for. For this protection,

the policyholder makes regular payments to the insurance

company. Each payment is called a premium.

你买了保险就和保险公司签了书面协议。这种协议叫保险单。购

买保险的人是投保人（保单持有人）。根据这个协议，保险公司承诺

在某些损失发生时向保单持有人付款。保险单明确规定保险公司将为

哪些损失付款。为了得到这种保障，投保人定期向保险公司缴费，每

次所缴的钱款叫做保险费。

Page2

Property insurance provides protection against possible

financial loss resulting from damages to the policyholder’s

property. For example, a homeowner can buy insurance against

loss resulting from fire and lightning, windstorm, explosion,

riot, aircraft and vandalism(恶意破坏). Liability insurance protects

against financial loss resulting from injures to other persons or

damages to their property. Injuries or property damages

resulting from an automobile accident are examples. Life

insurance, of cour protects against financial loss resulting

from a person’s death. Health insurance protects against

financial loss resulting from illness or accident.

财产保险为投保人因财产损失而造成的经济损失提供保障。比方

说，私房屋主可以购买保险以防火灾、雷击、风暴、爆炸、骚乱、飞

机以及恶意破坏所造成的损失。责任保险为因伤害他人或损坏他人财

物而造成的财务损失提供保障。车祸所引起的伤残或财产损坏就是这

种例子。人寿保险当然是对一个人的死亡所造成的财务损失所提供的

保障。健康保险则为疾病或事故所引起的经济损失提供保障。

Debentures and uncured notes can be discerned from

other forms of debt finance in that the funds are sought from

the public at large. In contrast other forms of debt finance need

the company to approach individual lending institutions to

obtain the funds. As with a public issue of shares, raising finance

through a debenture or note issue requires the preparation of

prospectus. Lenders will be advid about the term and

conditions of the issue, the maturity date and interest rates. It is

common for interest to be paid mi-annually, although some

finance companies choo to pay quarterly.

债券和无担保证券可区别于其他形式的债务资金筹措：债券和无

担保证券的资金来源于广大的民众，而其他形式的举债筹资要求公司

于每个放款机构打交道来获取自己。至于公开发行股票，用发行债券

和无担保证券的办法筹措资金，则要求准备公开说明书，告知贷方证

券发行的期限.发行条件.到期日以及利率等。利息通常半年一付，但有

些金融公司愿意按季度支付。

Interest is usually a fixed sum calculated on the par or

nominal value of the curity and will be paid throughout the

term of the issue, without regard to changes in market rates of

interest. The amount regularly paid as interest is known as the

“coupon rate”, which will be clo to the market or effective

rate of interest at the time of issue. Interest rates may fluctuate

over the term of issue. When the changes occur, the market will

discount future “coupon rate” payments at the market’s

required rate of return to determine the price of the curity. This

required rate of return is called the “yield to maturity”.

利息通常是以证券的面值或名义价值计算的固定金额。利息在整

个发行期内支付，而且不考虑市场利率。作为利息定期支付的金额通

常被称为“息票利率”。这种利率和证券发行时的市场利率或实际利

率相似。在证券发行期间利率可能会波动。出现这些变化时，市场将

用市场要求的收益率对将来的“息票利率”进行贴现，以决定保证金

的价格。这种要求的收益率叫做“最终收益率”。

departments are doing well and

which poorly.

nonprofit organizations also u accounting to keep track of their
