Shadow Banks 我们一般的银行都是处于严格监管之下的，但有一些公司不是银行、不受监管但却拥有银行的功效，这类的机构就被称为 Shadow Banks（影子银行）。 Shadow banks主要有投资银行、对冲基金、债券、保险公司等构成，它们让一些原本资质不足以在银行获得资金的公司获得了资金，所以它们的利率也会非常高。 我们来看2个例句： Much of the credit extended by banks and shadow banks to keep growth going will sour. 大量由银行及影子银行发放的以保增长为目的的信贷将会变成坏账。 Crucially, the council would be able to monitor both traditional banks and shadow banks. 最关键的是，该委员会将能够同时监控传统银行和影子银行。 20节BEC初级、中级、高级课程 学前测试、词汇课、各级别专项课 还有考前冲刺 点击立即免费听>> 你适合考哪个级别？BEC好不好学 2个月后考试是否能顺利通过 一听即知！ 0元试学BEC初级中级高级课程 点击立即免费试学>> 点击立即免费试学>>> 祝大家顺利拿证
