Conversation One

对话1

M: I need to stop at the bank to withdraw some cash.

M: 我需要在银行停一下，取一些现金。

W: Why not just pay with your phone?

W: 为什么不直接用手机支付呢？

M: Well, actually, I've stopped using online payments for the past three months now.

M: 嗯，实际上，我过去三个月已经停止使用在线支付了。

W: Stopped paying online? Oh, you must be worried that online payments aren't secure.

W: 停止使用在线支付？哦，你一定是担心在线支付不安全。

M: No, they are safe. But paying online is too convenient. I spent too much money on things I didn't need.

M: 不，它们是安全的。但在线支付太方便了。我在不需要的东西上花了太多钱。

W:Oh,impulse purchases can be an issue for me, too.

W: 哦，冲动购物对我来说也是个问题。

I've definitely bought clothes and shoes I didn't need because they were on sale, and paying with my phone was so easy.

我确实因为打折买了一些不需要的衣服和鞋子，而且用手机支付实在是太方便了。

But I've found that if I review my spending every night, that keeps me from spending too much.

但我发现，如果我每晚回顾一下我的支出，这能阻止我过度消费。

M: I tried that strategy, but it just didn't work, because I'd be busy studying all day.

M：我试过这个策略，但它就是不管用，因为我整天都在忙于学习。

Then when I was tired and hungry, I'd use my phone to order food, like burgers and other junk, instead of going to the canteen where I could get a healthier meal for half the price.

然后当我感到疲倦和饥饿时，我会用手机点外卖，比如汉堡和其他垃圾食品，而不是去食堂，那里我可以以半价吃到更健康的食物。

W: Well, what do you do now then? It seems like you'd have the same problems with cash.

W：那么，你现在怎么办呢？看起来你用现金也会有同样的问题。

M: I go to the bank once a week, and the rest of the time I keep my bank card at home, so I can't get more cash out.

M：我每周去一次银行，其余时间我把银行卡放在家里，这样我就不能取更多的现金了。而且我还有一个笔记本记录我的开销。

And I also have a notebook where I record my expenses.

W：而且我还有一个笔记本记录我的开销。

W: But what prevents you from just going to the bank and getting more money if you want to buy something?

W：但是如果你想要买东西，什么阻止你去银行多取些钱呢？

M: The first month I did withdraw extra cash twice, but I felt guilty about it.

M：第一个月我确实额外取了两次现金，但我对此感到内疚。

And after that, I refused to spend more than what I had budgeted. And by now, it's just a habit.

之后，我拒绝花费超出我预算的钱。到现在，这已经成了习惯。
