“Time is money!” Much jokingly, in bank, you have to spend much time queuing up before getting money.
“时间就是金钱”！有趣地是在银行，在等待了好多时间后，才会得到金钱。
According to the latest survey conducted by a press, Bank, hospital, Telecom company abreast, have become the agencies aroused most complaints from the public.
根据一家报社最新的调查表明，银行和医院及电信公司一起都成为了引起公众抱怨最多的部门。
It seems there is no way out but to wait in patience. Though many branches have been established to cope with the increasingly demanding requirement, the length of queues in bank hasn’t been shortened at all. On the contrary, the queues are made up of more customers with heels upon heels.
似乎我们除了耐心等待别无他法。尽管好多银行加设了分行来应付日益增加的需求，但是队伍的长度一点都没有缩短。相反，队伍变得更加拥挤，以至于脚跟碰着脚跟。
It is all agreed that the problem will get less serious if more service windows are opened. It’s definitely true. But what we see is a long queue turn into many queues. The problem hasn’t been properly solved.
大家一致认为如果多开服务窗口的话，问题就会缓解。这没错儿，但我们所看到是一条长队伍变成了很多短队伍。问题没有得到真正地解决。
In order to increase the efficiency, a lot of measures have been adopted. But I think solving the problem is just like building a castle in the air if we, customers, don’t alter the old customs to go to bank. So, why not let the internet take care of these headaches.
为了提高效率，很多措施被采用，但我认为如果我们客户不改变旧的习惯，问题的解决就如空中楼阁。那为什么不让网络来解决这些头痛的问题呢？
Thanks to the high developed technology, almost all banks have their e-bank service available on line. With several clicks, money will be transferred and the remaining balance will be clearly displayed on screen. It is like a duck to water. As the transaction can be done in a second on line, why do we bother to go to bank and voluntarily form the line?
由于高科技的发展，几乎所有的银行都有网上服务。只要轻点几下鼠标，交易就完成了， 余额会清楚地显示在屏幕上。一切都轻而易举。由于通过网络一笔交易一转眼就完成了，那我们何必还要不厌其烦地到银行去，自愿组建队伍呢？
As the young and the middle aged are quite familiar with the on line service, we should try ourselves to make transaction on line so as to save more time for the elderly waiting in front of counter. If some businesses have to be done in bank, we needn’t to go there on rush hours.
由于年轻人和中年人对网络服务比较熟悉，我们应该尽量在网上交易，节约时间给哪些在柜台前等待的老人。如果一些业务一定要到银行去，我们也不必在高峰时间去凑热闹。
As for banks, it is sure that they have more work to do. Laying more chairs in the lobby, opening more windows to customers, building up more branches in the densely populated area, as well as letting the VIP channels to the senior and handicapped citizens or those who are really in urgency.
Rome is not built in one day, a pleasant environment in bank needs every one’s help. I hope the day when customers enjoy sitting in bank, reading paper or sipping coffee will not be long to come.
对于银行来说，确实他们要做的工作更多。比如在大厅里安放跟多的椅子；给客户开更多的窗口；在人口稠密区建更多的分行；为那些老人、残疾人和确实有急事的打开贵宾通道。冰冻三尺，非一日之寒。营造一个舒适的环境需要每个人的努力。我希望客户在银行里看看报，喝喝咖啡的休闲时光很快会到来。
Oh, forget to tell you. I'll go to bank shortly. No matter how long I have to wait, I don't mind it at all. W-H-Y? (like Xiao shenyang) IT'S MY PAY DAY!!!
最后忘了说了，我马上要去银行了。但我不在乎等多久，这-是-为-什-么-呢?（小沈阳询问状）因为今天发工资！！！

Why is the queue longer in the bank?
