英語播客初級版 第351期(外教講解):Having Bad Credit 信用不佳
Alisha: This is the second time I’ve been turned down for a credit card in a month. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
這是我一個月之內(nèi)第二次信用卡被拒了。我不知道自己做錯了什么。
James: Have you checked your credit report recently? Maybe you have a bad credit rating.
你最近有沒有查看信用記錄?或許你的信用評級不好。
Alisha: I have a full-time job with a good income, which they can easily verify, and I don’t have any outstanding debt, so what could be the problem?
我有一份收入良好的全職工作，他們很容易證實(shí)，我也沒有未償付債務(wù)，那可能是什么問題呢?
James: Have you had a credit card before?
你以前有沒有信用卡呢?
Alisha: Yes.
有。
James: Did you always make your payments on time?
你有沒有及時支付呢?
Alisha: Well, no.
哦，沒有。
James: Then that may be your answer. Your payment history makes a big difference with the credit bureau. If you’ve missed payments or been late, that’s a big strike against you.
可能就是這個問題了。你的支付歷史對信用評定機(jī)構(gòu)有很大影響。如果你未支付或延時支付，對你來說是一個很大的打擊。
Alisha: You mean if I were late a few times, I wouldn’t be able to get another credit card?
你是說如果我有幾次未及時支付，我不可能再得到另外一張信用卡?
James: A few times? How many times?
幾次?多少次?
Alisha: Well, maybe a lot of times.
哦，或許很多次。
James: And why do you need another credit card if you already have one?
如果你已經(jīng)有一張信用卡了，為什么還要再申請一張呢?
Alisha: Had one, past tense. The credit card company cancelled it.
曾經(jīng)有，已經(jīng)是過去了。信用卡公司取消了。
James: Ah ha, I think we’ve just found the crux of the problem.
哈哈!我想我們已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了問題的關(guān)鍵了。
