“充值卡”英文怎么说
<p>上公交车或者坐地铁时候刷卡上车，现如今已经成为都市人的出行常态。众所周知，公交卡具有续费的功能，这种续费普遍被形象地成为充值而且已经被广泛接受，所以公交卡又通常被形象地称为“充值卡”，而这种续费服务就叫做“充值服务”，如果是在自助的机器上完成续费，那么这种机器就被称为“充值机”。随着网络和手机的普及，“充值”更是几乎已经成为一个高频词汇，各种各样的“充值”无所不及，可以这么说，人们的日常生活已经离不开“充值”。</p><p>随着国际化语言环境建设的需要，很多城市的地铁系统都使用了双语的标识和语音提示系统，上述关于“充值”的词语也因而获得了相应的英语译文，笔者注意到，在一些城市的地铁系统中，“充值卡”被 把<span word="value">value</span>-<span word="added">added</span>与“充值”等同起来，首先是语义上不对应。从字面意思就能看出，<span word="value">value</span>-<span word="added">added</span>不是“充值”，而是“增值”。具有很高知名度的专业术语“增值税”，其英语对应表达就是<span word="value">value</span>-<span word="added">added</span> <span word="tax">tax</span>，简称<span word="VAT">VAT</span>，这就是最好的说明。例如：<span word="All">All</span> <span word="charges">charges</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="service">service</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="exclusive">exclusive</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="value">value</span> <span word="added">added</span> <span word="tax">tax</span>. 再来看看<span word="value">value</span>-<span word="added">added</span> <span word="card">card</span>，即所谓的“充值卡”。<span word="Google">Google</span>检索确实获得了大量与<span word="value">value</span>-<span word="added">added</span> <span word="card">card</span>相关的网页，但是仔细研究之后不难发现，这里的<span word="value">value</span>-<span word="added">added</span> <span word="card">card</span>指的是信用卡的增值。众所周知，信用卡的基本功能是透支、刷卡等。除了这些基本功能以外的功能就是增值服务，信用卡增值服务的品种和门类很多，各家银行的措施也不尽相同，比如，积分兑换奖品、免费短信通知、不定时抽奖等等。也就是说，具有增值服务 <span word="Many">Many</span> <span word="credit">credit</span> <span word="cards">cards</span> <span word="promise">promise</span> "<span word="free">free</span>" <span word="rewards">rewards</span> (<span word="frequent">frequent</span> <span word="flier">flier</span> <span word="miles">miles</span>, <span word="for">for</span> <span word="example">example</span>) <span word="if">if</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="charge">charge</span> <span word="enough">enough</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="earn">earn</span> <span word="enough">enough</span> <span word="points">points</span>. <span word="These">These</span> <span word="cards">cards</span> <span word="make">make</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="seem">seem</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="you">you</span>'<span word="re">re</span> <span word="getting">getting</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="for">for</span> <span word="nothing">nothing</span>. <span word="Are">Are</span> <span word="these">these</span> "<span word="value">value</span>-<span word="added">added</span>" <span word="cards">cards</span> <span word="worth">worth</span> <span word="it">it</span>? <span word="The">The</span> <span word="only">only</span> <span word="way">way</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="tell">tell</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="examine">examine</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="current">current</span> <span word="spending">spending</span> <span word="needs">needs</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="credit">credit</span> <span word="card">card</span> <span word="buying">buying</span> <span word="habits">habits</span>.</p>
