We have no branches so we can pass on cost savings to our customers.其中的savings用法我不明白
saving
savings Abbr. svgs.Money saved:
savings 缩写 svgs.储蓄：
a bank account for savings.
银行储蓄帐户
There is a widespread tendency to use the form savings as a singular, as reflected in compounds such as savings account and savings bond ( note by contrast that one would not form compounds like investments account, using an unambiguous plural). But the phrase a savings, though increasingly common, remains unacceptable to 57 percent of the Usage Panel; a saving is the only uncontroversial form.
有将savings 作为单数使用的普及的趋势， 如复合词savings account（储蓄帐户） 和 savings bond（储蓄债券） ( 注意到相比较之下，用并非模棱两可的复数形式是不能组成如investments account 的复合词的）。 但是短语a savings 虽然使用得日渐广泛， 但词语用法小组57%的成员仍不能接受；a saving 仍是不引起争论的唯一形式
