Hello! Could you tell me the difference between the "current" and "running" account? Thank you

As far as I know, a running account is an arrangement you make with a firm, store or business so that you can buy goods as and when and then you agree settlement dates but the current account is with a bank into which are paid salary, wages, pensions or whatever on a regular basis and which entitles the holder to have a cheque book and card.

Hi, Professors!
I am studying about some English articles, but i don't understand some titles of articles! Such as : "Pledge by pledge" and "Australia hit hard by mining slump" . Can you explain them for me? Thank you very much!

I don't understand the first one; looks like wordplay that is impossible to understand without reading the article. Perhaps a variation on "step by step".

In the second title, "is" is to be be supplied: "is hit hard". Being "hit hard" is a common metaphor from battle or something like it: when you are hit hard, you are experiencing something bad.
Mining is the process in which minerals and such are found in mines, holes in the ground or in mountains.
A slump is a fall or collapse, here used as a common metaphor: a bad situation in (part of) the economy, when profit and turnover in a a certain sector are declining sharply. A mining slump is a decrease in economic activity in the mining sector.
The title means that the mining sector in Australia is in a bad state economically: demand for raw materials has probably dropped.

By the way, i have one more question. I know some antonyms such as: happy- sad, open- close. what about some others such as : come- go, back-forward ?Are they also antonyms? why?
