使用取款机

字幕原文

The ATM — the automated teller machine — 自动取款机——也就是自动柜员机——

has been around for about fifty years, 已经存在大约五十年了，

and it does something wonderfully simple: 它做的事情非常简单：

it lets you get your cash any hour of any day. 让你在任何一天、任何时间都能取到现金。

Some people joke that ATM really stands for "any time money." 有些人开玩笑说，ATM实际上是“随时取钱”的意思。

Using one is easy. 使用它很简单。

You slide in your bank card and type your PIN — your secret personal number. 你插入银行卡，输入你的个人识别码（PIN）——也就是你的个人密码。

Then you choose what you want to do: 然后你选择你想做的操作：

take out money, 取钱，

put money in, or just check your balance. 存钱，或者只是查询余额。

If the machine isn't from your own bank, 如果这台机器不是你自己的银行的，

it may charge a small fee, 它可能会收取少量手续费，

and it will ask whether you accept it 并且会询问你是否接受

before going ahead. 然后才继续操作。

A few habits keep you safe. 养成一些习惯可以确保你的安全。

Choose a PIN that is easy for you to remember 选择一个你容易记住的密码，

but hard for others to guess — 但别人难以猜到的——

never your birthday. 绝不能是你的生日。

Never write it on your card, and never tell it to anyone. 绝不要把它写在卡上，也绝不要告诉任何人。

Keep your receipts to check against your statements later. 保留你的收据，以便日后核对账单。

And whatever you do, don't walk away without your card! 无论你做什么，都不要忘记取走你的银行卡！

The machine will hand you your money in seconds. 机器会在几秒钟内把钱给你。

But it is the small, careful habits around it that keep the money yours. 但正是围绕它的一些细小而谨慎的习惯，才能让这些钱真正属于你。
