balance sheet
释义：“资产负债表”，是三种最基本的财务报表之一（其余两种分别为“利润/损益表”和“现金流量表”）。一般而言，“资产负债表”的左侧记录资产，右侧记录负债和所有者权益。对于现代世界通行的会计准则(double-entry bookkeeping system)，每一项财务变化都要同时在两个科目(account)中体现。而这最终就是为了保证依据“资产=负债+所有者权益”这一公式，正确的“资产负债表”左右应该是相等的。
例句：

That is unlikely to continue if the economy grows weakly because Americans are much more conscious about adding on a lot of debt to their balance sheet.
