2008年9月，巴克莱银行通过收购美国雷曼兄弟的美国业务，将其并入旗下的巴克莱资本(Barclays Capital)中，一举跃入了投行大联盟。

Barclays vaulted into the big league of investment Banks when it bought the American operations of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, merging them with its own outfit, Barclays Capital.

巴克莱银行只有近三分之一的活动是在伦敦，部分原因是2008年其购买了莱曼兄弟的一些股份。

Only about a third of Barclays’ activity is in Britain, partly thanks to its purchase of bits of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
