英语词汇run on the bank的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	run on the bank
词源	run on the bank. Though I haven’t encountered it in any dic- tionary or word book, this phrase does describe a crowd or mob of people rushing toward a bank that is believed to be bankrupt and unable to pay its account holders. The best movie description of this is in the film It’s a Wonderful Life. Since the establishment of the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo- ration) in 1933 there have been far fewer runs because this orga- nization insures deposits in member banks.
