「句」細靡遺
◎After we find out your credit score, we will let you know if you’ve been approved.
等我們查出您的信用評分後,我們就會通知您是否通過審核。
近來銀行發卡特別小心謹慎,尤其正值金融業腥風血雨之際,對於個人財務信用,行員更得小心把關。當外國顧客問起發卡的時間,以下的句型可供您參考:
.You’ll find out once we evaluate your credit score.(一旦我們評估您的信用評分後,您馬上就會知道了。)
*evaluate vt. 評估,評價
.As soon as we approve your credit score, we'll send your card.(我們一核可您的信用評分,便將卡寄出。)
.After you’ve been approved, your card will arrive within+時間.(您被核准後,您的卡就會在……(時間)內寄到。)
字字珠璣
.apply for……應徵……
例:Jamie applied for a job after she graduated from college.(潔咪大學畢業後就應徵了一份工作。)
.local a.當地的,本地的& n.當地人,本地人
例:In order to launch a legal demonstration, you must first obtain permission from the local government.(想要發起合法遊行,你們得先向地方政府申請許可才行。)
.guarantor n.保證人
例:Paul asked Ella to be the guarantor for his loan.(保羅請艾拉當他貸款的保證人。)
.ARC = Alien Resident Certificate 外僑居留證
