L: Lucy W: Will
Lucy and Will just finished a meal at a restaurant in a small town. Lucy is surprised to find that the restaurant doesn’t accept credit card payments.
L: Oh, no. They don’t take credit cards. What are we gonna do?
W: Good thing I brought some cash. I’ll cover dinner this time.
L: Phew, thanks! I didn’t think to bring cash. I’m so used to using my credit card everywhere.
W: Same here. I almost didn’t bring cash either. But it’s always good to have some on hand, especially for small, local spots like this.
L: True, but I feel more secure using my credit card. If I lose it or it gets stolen, I can cancel it right away. Plus, I get rewards when I use it.
露西和威爾剛在一座小鎮的餐廳用完餐。露西驚訝地發現這家餐廳不接受信用卡支付。
露 西: 喔,不。他們不接受信用卡。我們該怎麼辦?
威 爾: 幸好我帶了一些現金。這次晚餐我先付。
露 西: 呼,謝謝!我沒有想到要帶現金。我已經習慣去哪裡都刷信用卡了。
威 爾: 我也是。我也差點沒帶現金。但手邊有一些總是好的,特別是在像這樣的在地小地方。
露 西: 確實,但使用信用卡讓我更安心。如果我遺失信用卡或信用卡被偷,我可以立刻註銷它。另外,使用它時我可以獲得回饋。
