1 cheque: "Cheque" (UK) or "check" (US) is the correct answer here. A "cheque" is a small piece of paper which you sign, date, and give to someone as a form of payment. When you open a bank account, you usually receive a "cheque book" full of "cheques" which you can fill in and give to people or companies when you buy things. Example: "I don't have any cash with me. Can I write you a cheque?".
2 bounced: "Bounced" is the right term here. When a cheque "bounces", then payment is refused. This is often because you have written a cheque for more money than you have in your bank account. Example: if Joseph has £12 in his account, but writes a cheque for £84 to pay for some meat, then the cheque will probably bounce when the butcher tries to cash it in'.
3 funds: "Funds" is the term we were looking for here. In this context, "funds" simply means "money". If Edward has "insufficient funds" in his bank account, then he "does not have enough money" in his account.
4 account: "Account" is the right answer here. An "account" in this context is a "bank account": a place to store your money. Most people have a bank account into which their salary goes once a month. You can take money out of your bank account with a card at a cash machine (UK) or ATM (US).
5 overdrawn: "Overdrawn" is the term which Edward uses here. To be "overdrawn" is to have a negative amount of money in your bank account, or to be "in the red". Example: "I'm often overdrawn at the end of the month. At the moment I have -$38 in my account". An "overdraft" is an agreement with your bank that they will lend you some money when you no longer have any!
6 upset: "Upset" is the right term here. If someone is "upset", then they are "sad", "unhappy", or "anxious". In this conversation, Edward is "upset" because he has no money and can't buy a special pair of sunglasses. Here's another example: "I was very upset when my goldfish died".
7 debt: "Debt" is the best answer here. To be "in debt" is to "owe" someone something, especially money, which you need to pay back. When we say "I am in debt", we usually mean that we owe money to the bank. This might be because we borrowed money to pay for university studies, or because we spent more money than we earned in a certain month. Note that the "b" in "debt" is silent: it is pronounced like "dett". Example: "I have been in debt ever since I bought my yacht".
练习 2
TRUE or FALSE?
Edward's bank recently refused to let him make a purchase.
Edward's bank recently refused to let him make a purchase.
TRUE or FALSE?
Edward's bank recently refused to let him make a purchase.
Edward's bank recently refused to let him make a purchase.
This statement is true. Edward says, "the bank told me that my cheque has bounced", meaning that they refused to let him pay for something by cheque. To "make a purchase" is to buy something. When a cheque "bounces", then it is refused because the person who wrote it does not have enough money in their account.
This is not a false statement.
