This is the second time I’ve been turneddown for a credit card in a month. I don’t knowwhat I’m doing wrong.

　　这是我一个月之内第二次信用卡被拒了。我不知道自己做错了什么。

　　James: Have you checked your credit reportrecently? Maybe you have a bad credit rating.

　　你最近有没有查看信用记录?或许你的信用评级不好。

　　Alisha: I have a full-time job with a good income, which they can easily verify, and I don’t haveany outstanding debt, so what could be the problem?

　　我有一份收入良好的全职工作，他们很容易证实，我也没有未偿付债务，那可能是什么问题呢?

　　James: Have you had a credit card before?

　　你以前有没有信用卡呢?

　　Alisha: Yes.

　　有。

　　James: Did you always make your payments on time?

　　你有没有及时支付呢?

　　Alisha: Well, no.

　　哦，没有。

　　James: Then that may be your answer. Your payment history makes a big difference with thecredit bureau. If you’ve missed payments or been late, that’s a big strike against you.

　　可能就是这个问题了。你的支付历史对信用评定机构有很大影响。如果你未支付或延时支付，对你来说是一个很大的打击。

　　Alisha: You mean if I were late a few times, I wouldn’t be able to get another credit card?

　　你是说如果我有几次未及时支付，我不可能再得到另外一张信用卡?

　　James: A few times? How many times?

　　几次?多少次?

　　Alisha: Well, maybe a lot of times.

　　哦，或许很多次。

　　James: And why do you need another credit card if you already have one?

　　如果你已经有一张信用卡了，为什么还要再申请一张呢?

　　Alisha: Had one, past tense. The credit card company cancelled it.

　　曾经有，已经是过去了。信用卡公司取消了。

　　James: Ah ha, I think we’ve just found the crux of the problem.

　　哈哈!我想我们已经发现了问题的关键了。
