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.
露西和威尔刚在一座小镇的餐厅用完餐。露西惊讶地发现这家餐厅不接受信用卡支付。
露 西： 喔，不。他们不接受信用卡。我们该怎么办？
威 尔： 幸好我带了一些现金。这次晚餐我先付。
露 西： 呼，谢谢！我没有想到要带现金。我已经习惯去哪里都刷信用卡了。
威 尔： 我也是。我也差点没带现金。但手边有一些总是好的，特别是在像这样的在地小地方。
露 西： 确实，但使用信用卡让我更安心。如果我遗失信用卡或信用卡被偷，我可以立刻注销它。另外，使用它时我可以获得回馈。
