Petra: Damn! That didn’t work either.
佩特拉：該死!一點(diǎn)用都不管。
Ken: What are you doing?
肯：你在干什么?
Petra: I’m trying to pay for a new service I ordered, but the website won’t accept my credit card as payment. I even tried my debit card, but it’s been rejected, too.
佩特拉：我定了一項(xiàng)服務(wù)，該付費(fèi)了，但是網(wǎng)絡(luò)不接受我的信用卡支付。 我都試了用借記卡 支付，但是也不行。
Ken: Why don’t you just write a check and mail it in?
肯：為什么不寫(xiě)張支票，然后寄過(guò)去?
Petra: I don’t have any checks. In this day and age, I should be able to use one of the many electronic funds transfer options.
佩特拉：我沒(méi)有支票?，F(xiàn)在這個(gè)時(shí)代，我應(yīng)該用電子資金轉(zhuǎn)賬支付。
Ken: What are going to do now?
肯：你現(xiàn)在怎么辦?
Petra: I might try sending a wire, but my bank charges a large fee for wires.
佩特拉：我可能要發(fā)份電報(bào)，可是發(fā)電報(bào)好貴啊。
Ken: How about signing up for direct deposit?
肯：要不就直接現(xiàn)金支付?
Petra: If this were an ongoing service I would, but this is a one- time thing. Do you think I could try your credit card?
佩特拉：要是這是一項(xiàng)持續(xù)性服務(wù)，我會(huì)用現(xiàn)金，但是這是一次性的服務(wù)。我能用用的信用卡嗎?
Ken: I don’t know about that…
肯：我不知道能不能。
Petra: All right, if you feel funny about doing that, then could you buy me a gift card for this website and then I can turn around and use the balance?
佩特拉：好，如果你覺(jué)得有點(diǎn)古怪的話，你可以在這個(gè)網(wǎng)站上給我買(mǎi)個(gè)禮物卡， 然后我轉(zhuǎn)身還你。
Ken: That seems kind of involved. Would you pay me back in cash?
肯：有點(diǎn)難懂， 然后你現(xiàn)金還我是嗎?
Petra: Of course. I will write you an IOU right now and then go to the bank tomorrow.
佩特拉：當(dāng)然。我會(huì)寫(xiě)一張欠條，然后明天去銀行。
Ken: How about if you go to the bank now? I’ll even give you a ride.
肯：要不現(xiàn)在去銀行?我載你去。
Petra: Is that really necessary? We don’t even know if it’s going to work.
佩特拉：有必要嗎?我們都不知道什么時(shí)候能用上。
Ken: When it comes to money, I always say, better safe than sorry.
肯：只要和錢(qián)相關(guān)的事，我會(huì)說(shuō)，防患于未然。
佩特拉：該死!一點(diǎn)用都不管。
