🇬🇧🇨🇳 bank - 银行 : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "bank" ("银行"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A bank is a special building or place where people safely keep their money, like coins and notes. Instead of leaving money loose at home where it could get lost, they give it to the bank to look after. The bank keeps the money safe, helps people save it, and lets them take it out or send it to others when they need it.
I told the bank, “Please don’t let my money spend itself on video games while I’m gone.”
I asked the bank if my account could also store my candy, and the banker said, “That’s called your stomach.”
I told the bank, “Please guard my five dollars like it’s a baby dragon egg.”
When we left the bank, my piggy bank shouted, “Hey, I’m unemployed now!”
Some banks keep real gold bars in giant vaults underground—like pirates’ treasure, except guarded by alarms instead of parrots.
A small boy goes to the bank with his red coin box. At the bank door he drops the box. A kind bank man helps him. They put the coins in the big bank box. The boy smiles. He says, "My money is safe in the bank." He waves and runs home happy.
