銀行英語情景口語 第182期:銀行卡業(yè)務 信用卡咨詢(2)
歡迎光臨Lincoln銀行。我們能為您做些什么嗎?
B: Morning. I'm a new user of your credit card and I was wondering if I'm taking full advantage of it.
早上好。我是你們信用卡的新用戶，我想知道我是否充分地利用了這張卡。
A: Well, there certainly are many benefits that go along with our credit card.
嗯，我們的信用卡確實具有許多優(yōu)惠。
B: Yes, of course. It's so much easier than cash,to be honest; nowadays I hardly ever use cash. I just put it on the card and pay off the balance every month.
是的，當然啦。老實說，它比現(xiàn)金好使多了，現(xiàn)在我甚至很少使用現(xiàn)金。我只是把錢存到這張卡里，并且每月支付收支差額。
A: You know it is not necessary to pay the balance in full every month.
您知道，您不需要每個月都全額支付收支差額吧。
B: Really?
是嗎?
A: Yes,you will see on your monthly bill and statement the amount in full but also the minimum payment.
是的，在您的月度對賬單上，您既能看到支付金額的總數(shù)也能看到最低還款額。
B: So, if for some reason I was having a bad month and spent a little too much I could just pay the minimum?
所以，假如因為某些原因，我在某個月境況比較糟糕，而且又花得有點兒過頭了的話，我可以只支付最小還款額，是吧?
A: Yes. As long as you keep making regular monthly payments, paying the minimum is just fine. Of course,your credit limit will be lowered accordingly.
是的。只要您持續(xù)地定期支付月度還款，支付最低付款額是可以的。當然啦，您的信用額度將相應地減少。
B: How so?
究竟是怎樣的呢?
A: For example, if your credit limit is 5,000 RMB and you owe 1,000 RMB, your available credit will be 4,000 RMB. So, your credit limit drops.
比如，如果您的信用額度是5000元，但您欠1000元，那么您將只有4000元可供使用。因此，您的信用額度下降了。
B: Oh, I see. Well,I don't plan on only paying the minimum,but it's good to know that I can if I had to. Thanks for that.
噢，我明白了。嗯，我不打算只付最低還款額，但是，能知道在萬不得已的情況下我可以這么做，也挺好啊。謝謝你。
