With the current account you can pay for things by cheque， but you don't earn any interest . With the deposit account ，you earn interest ，but you can't pay for things by cheque……”基本上有两种存款，一种活期存款，一种储蓄存款;活期存款你可以用支票支付，但没有利息;储蓄存款可以挣到利息，但不能用支票支付。

固定资产是在产品和服务的生产过程中使用的寿命较长的资产。这些资产有时称为非流动资产，是公司经营中为了使用而不是为销售而置备的资产。
Current liabilities 就是“流动负债”。例如：
3. Current liabilities . Debts which must be satisfied from current assets within the next operating period， usually one year. Examples are accounts payable， notes payable， the current portion of long-term debt， and various accrued items such as salaries payable and taxes payable.
