你是用中文“信用卡”理解记忆英语credit card的吗?
人人都知道中文“信用卡”的英文叫credit card,而英文credit card的中文就是“信用卡”。
如果你想练习英语口语,你能回答英文的credit card的英语意思是什么吗?
答得出,你就是在说英语口语了。
我们一起用英语说说英语credit card是什么意思。
1.credit card区别于debit card(借记卡,储蓄卡)的最大特点是能“透支”,英文单词叫overdraw your credit card.
2. overdraw的英语又是什么意思呢?
如果你能把你高中学过的英语more money than you have in your card用起来,你就知道overdraw怎么表达了。
“透支”(overdraw)就是“允许你取出比你卡里的钱更多的钱”
所以,英文的overdraw就是you can/are allowed to withdraw more money than you have in your credit card
3.信用卡不就是“允许你透支的银行卡”吗?
现在我们可以把英语用起来表达credit card了:
1. Well, a credit card means you can withdraw, or you are allowed to withdraw more money than you have in your credit card
2. When we use a credit card,we can overdraw it.
就算你不会说withdraw这个“难词”,你说take out money行不行?
现在你不需要只用中文记credit card这个词了。
