对话节选

先看看这个场景说了什么

  1. 对话 1

    Thanks for calling the bank. Are you asking about a recent charge on your account?

    感谢致电银行。你是想咨询账户上最近的一笔扣费吗?

    中文提示

    Yes, I saw a twelve-dollar maintenance fee. I haven't been charged that before.

    是的,我看到一笔十二美元的维护费。我以前没被扣过这个钱。

  2. 对话 2

    I can review it with you. The fee usually appears when the checking balance drops below the monthly minimum.

    我可以和你一起看一下。这笔费用通常是在支票账户余额低于每月最低要求时出现。

    中文提示

    I understand the rule, but my paycheck came in a day late this time, so the balance was only low briefly.

    我明白规则,但这次是工资晚到账了一天,所以余额才短暂低了。

  3. 对话 3

    I see the direct deposit posted the next morning. Since this is your first fee, I can request a courtesy refund.

    我看到直接入账是在第二天早上到账的。因为这是你第一次被收这笔费用,我可以申请一次礼貌性退款。

    中文提示

    That would be great. Will the refund go back into the account right away?

    那太好了。这个退款会马上回到账户里吗?
