英語百科小知識：全世界最好的銀行

　　全世界最好的銀行是哪間?下面是學(xué)習(xí)啦小編整理的英語百科小知識，歡迎大家閱讀!

　　As the dust starts to settle, which banks deserve the most plaudits?

　　當(dāng)塵埃開始落定，哪家銀行將贏得最多喝彩?

　　Trying to work out which banks are the world's best is a bit like awarding the prize for prettiest war-torn village. It is a title that carries little kudos. It is also likely to prompt further shelling. Winners of industry awards in the past three years include Ken Lewis, the chief executive of Bank of America, for banker of the year (2008); Société Générale for its risk management; and Angelo Mozilo of Countrywide. a failed mortgage lender, for a "lifetime of achievement".

　　想要評出哪家銀行是世界上最好的，有點(diǎn)像從飽受戰(zhàn)爭蹂躪的村莊中評選出最美的村莊，這是一個(gè)并不光彩的頭銜，也可能引發(fā)對企業(yè)的刨根問底。在過去三年間，金融行業(yè)的優(yōu)勝者包括美國銀行的首席執(zhí)行宮肯·劉易斯，獲評為2008年銀行家，法國興業(yè)銀行因其風(fēng)險(xiǎn)管理獲獎(jiǎng)，以及失敗了的破產(chǎn)抵押人，美國國家金融服務(wù)公司的安吉羅·莫奇羅，因終身成就而獲獎(jiǎng)。

　　Still, the question is becoming more pertinent. After months of indiscriminate fear, widespread losses and government hand-holding, the banking industry is gradually stabilising. Money markets are steadily calming. American banks that got a clean bill of health in this month's stress tests are queuing up to repay government money. A first wave of escapees is likely to include Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase. Those banks that emerge from this crisis with reputations and franchises strengthened will find it increasingly easy to raise funds, win clients, attract employees and buy assets.

　　然而，問題變得越來越集中。經(jīng)過幾個(gè)月的無所不在的恐懼，廣泛的損失以及政府調(diào)控后，銀行業(yè)正在逐步企穩(wěn)。金融市場正逐漸恢復(fù)平靜。美國的一些銀行經(jīng)過了這個(gè)月的壓力測試，表明其財(cái)務(wù)狀況良好，正在排隊(duì)等候償還政府的貸款。第一波的幸存者可能包括包括高盛、摩根斯坦利和摩根大通公司。在危機(jī)中脫穎而出的這些公司，聲望和政府的特殊照顧都有所加強(qiáng)，這些公司籌集資金、贏得客戶、吸納人才，以及購買資產(chǎn)會比以前容易。

　　However the pack is shuffled, a few names keep resurfacing-in America, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase; and in Europe, Credit Suisse, Deutsche, BNP, Barclays and Santander. They can be whittled down further. In Europe, concerns over what lies on the balance-sheets of Deutsche and Barclays are ebbing but are not gone. The British bank's willingness to consider a sale of BGI, its asset -management arm, suggests worries over capital. Both banks still have lots of legacy assets, many of them tucked in the banking book.

　　銀行業(yè)正在洗牌，一些公司將繼續(xù)其榮耀一-美國的高盛和摩根大通公司、歐洲的瑞士信貸集團(tuán)、德國德意志銀行、法國巴黎銀行、英國巴克萊銀行，以及西班牙桑坦德銀行。這些名字未來可能會減少。在歐洲，人們對德國德意志銀行和英國巴克萊銀行資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表的擔(dān)憂正在減少，但卻沒有消失。英國銀行正考慮賣掉BGI，其資產(chǎn)管理的左膀右臂，也表明對資產(chǎn)情況非常焦慮。這兩個(gè)銀行都有很多遺產(chǎn)資產(chǎn)，這些資產(chǎn)來自開戶人的存折。

　　In America, Goldman still has legions of admirers. It has posted losses of less than billion to date, a performance not nearly as bad as those of its direct peers. Its focus on risk management is a template for others to follow. But its renewed swagger should not conceal the fact that it needed to convert into a bank-holding company in order to survive the market storm-nor the questions that hang over its future earnings in a re-regulated industry.

　　在美國，高盛公司仍然備受傾慕。到目前為止，高盛公司公布了只有不到80億美元的損失，表現(xiàn)比其它同行要好守些。高盛專注與風(fēng)險(xiǎn)管理的凰念是其他銀行學(xué)習(xí)的樣板。然而這些成績不能掩蓋這樣的事實(shí):它需要成為銀行持股公司，以便躲過市場風(fēng)暴——銀行業(yè)的再規(guī)范也為其未來盈利帶來了重重疑問。

　　That leaves Credit Suisse and JPMorgan Chase to take the grand prizes. Credit Suisse has had its share of misbaps during the crisis but it was quick to scale down its balance-sheet, has plotted a credible strategy for its investment bank and pulled well ahead of U8S, its main rival inwealth management. As for JPMorgan Chase, it has kept a tight rein on risk, managed capital well and acquired sensibly. None of this is much comfort for weary Swiss and American taxpayers, of course. Well-run or not, both banks present the problem of being far too important to fail.

　　瑞士信貸銀行和摩根大通拔 得頭籌。瑞士信貸銀行在這場危機(jī)中雖然有些損失，但它迅速對資產(chǎn)進(jìn)行減值準(zhǔn)備，為投資銀行標(biāo)明信用對策，并遙遙領(lǐng)先于其資產(chǎn)管理方面的主要對手瑞士聯(lián)合銀行。至于摩根大通公司，它嚴(yán)格控制風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，對資本管理得當(dāng)，且投資理性。這兩家銀行對萎靡的美國和瑞士納稅人心存警惕。不論經(jīng)營情況如何，兩家銀行的問題是都太重要而不能倒閉。
