Well, that's very interesting, the earliest banks started in Babylon almost 4 000 years ago.
这是很有意思的，最早的银行大约是四千年前在巴比伦建立的。
They were really temples which collected deposits and made loans.
实际上，那些银行只是一种收集存款并进行的放款的场所。
S1:I see, but I had always thought that banking started during the Renaissance in Europe.

学3：所以实际上我们可以说，银行业在文艺复兴时期又重新开始了。
Z:You are right. We can easily see the need for the development of the banks during that period.

but they gradually expanded their activities to handling deposits and loans,
可是他们逐渐地扩展他们的经营活动，发展到从事储蓄，贷款，
issuing and trading bills of exchange and even issuing their own notes;
