A: Hello again. Have you come to a decision?
您好！又見面啦。您決定了嗎？
B: I'm still not sure about these "Visible" Certificates. What's the real difference, except the amounts available?
我仍然不明白這些"憑證式"的國債。除了可以看到數額之外，還有什么不同之處？
A: Visible Certificates are registered and the holders of these can report any loss directly to the bank. Also, they can be cashed in advance, before the maturity is up.
憑證式國債是記名式的，持有人可以直接向銀行掛失。此外，此種國債可以在到期之前提前兌現。
B: Right. How about the Bearer Certificates? Can they be cashed before the maturity date?
好的。那么無記名式國債呢？它們能否在到期之前兌現？
A: Unfortunately, not. You see, because they are not registered, they can be bought and sold by anyone. They also can be cashed on maturity in any nationwide financial institution.
很遣憾，不行。您瞧，因為它們是不記名的，任何人都可以購買和出售。此種國債到期后，也可以在全國范圍內任何金融機構兌現。
B: So, if I was strapped for cash, I could transfer it to get some money?
所以，如果我急需現金的話，可以把它轉讓，用它換些現金？
A: Technically, yes.
基本如此。
B: OK, I think I've got it.
好吧，我想我明白了。
