Tom:Look at the machine, people are getting money out of it, can we just use the machine?
汤姆:看那台机器,大家都从那里取钱,我们可以只用那个机器吗?
David:Of course we can.
大卫:当然可以。
Tom:What is it?
汤姆:那是什么?
David:It is ATM, an automated teller machine. Everyone who uses the bank machine needs to have an account at the bank.
大卫:那是ATM,自动取款机。使用自动取款机的人都必须先在银行开户。
Tom:An automated teller machine?Such a long name. What does an ATM do?
汤姆:自动取款机?好长的名字啊。自动取款机可以做哪些事呢?
David:You can do a lot of your banking at an ATM. Normally, you can withdraw cash, make a transfer or ask for a balance. Also you can change PIN with ATM. That way, you needn't get in this long line.
大卫:你可以用自动取款机做很多银行服务。通常情况下,你可以取现金、转账或查询余额,而且你用自动取款机就可以改密码。这样的话,你就不必排这么长的队了。
Tom: This line is taking a long time to move. People should use the ATM, it would be faster.
汤姆:排队要等好久才会前进。他们应该用自动取款机,这样会比较快。
David: But it can't do everything. They might have other questions to ask for the bank teller. If you have a simple and easy transaction, you can save a lot of time by using the ATM.
大卫:但它并不是什么都能做,他们可能会有其他的问题要问出纳员。如果你只是处理简单又容易的交易手续,用自动取款机就可以省下很多时间。
