A savings account is an excellent way to learn about the power of compound interest.
储蓄账户是了解复利的一个很好的方式。
Compounding works by paying interest on interest. So, for example, one dollar invested at two percent interest for two years will earn two cents in the first year. The second year, the money will earn two percent of one dollar and two cents, and so on.
复利是指连本带息进行计算。例如,以2%的利息存入一美元,存期为两年。第一年你可以获得2美分的利息。第二年,你将获得1美元加2美分的2%的利息,以此类推。
That may not seem like a lot. But over time it adds up.
这看上去似乎不多,但随着时间的推移数额将不断增加。
