王飞：我是王飞。威廉，我希望我们今天能快点结束节目的录制。

William: Oh, why's that?
威廉：哦，为什么？

Wang Fei: I need to get to the bank before it closes.
王飞：我要赶在银行关门前去一趟银行。

William: Oh I see.
威廉：哦，我明白了。

Wang Fei: Yes, just need to move some money around. I've got to move some money into a high interest account and transfer some into my investment account...
王飞：对，我要转些钱。我要把一些钱存入高利息帐户，然后把一些钱转入投资帐户……

William: Look at you Wang Fei. High-interest accounts and investment accounts. You really are quite money-savvy aren't you?
威廉：王飞，看看你。高利息帐户和投资帐户。你真是个理财行家，不是吗？

Wang Fei: Money what?
王飞：理财什么？

William: Money-savvy.
威廉：理财行家。

Wang Fei: Money-savvy?
王飞：Money-savvy？

William: Yeah. It means you're good with money. You know what you're doing with it, how to invest it, that kind of thing.
威廉：对。意思就是说你擅于理财。你知道如何打理钱财，知道如何投资，了解这类事情。

Wang Fei: Well, I guess I am. I do look after my money.
王飞：嗯，我想我是行家。我很擅于管理我的钱。

William: I wish I was a bit more money-savvy like you! But I am quite good with technology. You know, you wouldn't need to rush to the bank if you tried online banking.
威廉：我希望我也像你一样成为理财行家！不过我更擅长技术方面的事情。你知道，如果你用网上银行的话就不用赶去银行办理了。

Wang Fei: Online banking? Not for me. I just don't really trust it.
王飞：网上银行？我不喜欢。我不信任网上银行。

William: Maybe you should try it.
威廉：也许你应该尝试一下。

Wang Fei: No, I just don't feel safe doing that. I'm not very... can I say... technologically savvy?
王飞：不，我只是觉得网上银行不安全。我不是很……我可以说技术行家吗？

William: Yes, you can say technologically savvy or just tech-savvy. Or you might say that you're not very web-savvy, as we're talking about the web, the internet.
威廉：可以，你可以说技术行家，或者简称。你也可以说你不是网络行家，因我们刚刚正在讨论的网络，互联网。

I wouldn't recommend you go down that street after dark. It's just not safe. And you're not very street-savvy to be honest with you.
我不建议你在天黑后走那条街。那不安全。而且说实话，你对街道也不是很熟悉。

Wang Fei: Money-savvy, tech-savvy...
王飞：理财行家，技术行家……

William: And business-savvy. You can be savvy about a lot of things. So are you going to go to the bank in the end?
威廉：还有有商业头脑。你可以在许多事情上成为行家。那你到底还要不要去银行？
