Unique Traditional Payment

Do you remember the day you went to a store, took out a couple of coins and got a bottle of soft drink? Nowadays, most of us buy soft drinks by tapping our phones or swiping cards, and this called electronic payment really promotes our life. However, I prefer traditional payment for its own characteristics that electronic payment doesn’t have.

? ? ? ? 你是否還記得曾經(jīng)去商店，用硬幣買飲料的日子？如今，大多數(shù)人買飲料只需劃一下卡或在手機上點幾下——這種被稱為“電子支付”的支付方式正在改變著我們的生活。而我卻更喜歡傳統(tǒng)的支付方式，喜歡它那電子支付所不曾有的獨特角色。

First, the information security. Buying goods with cell phone requires to scan shop’s QR code or use the card readers in the store. By doing this, hackers can trace purchase history, bank account and even asset with tricks on the QR code images or card readers. With traditional payment, one pays cash on delivery, leaving nothing but paper money so that your private information won’t be disclosed unconsciously.

? ? ? ? 首先是信息安全。用手機支付需要掃描二維碼，用銀行卡需要劃店里的刷卡器，而這樣做的風(fēng)險，是黑客有可能通過做了手腳的二維碼或刷卡器獲取支付者的信息，購買歷史，銀行賬戶甚至是個人財產(chǎn)。傳統(tǒng)支付，一手交錢一手交貨，給出的也只有紙質(zhì)鈔票，因此私人信息也不會無意識地泄露出去。

Second, the consciousness of money management. With electronic payment, people buy what they want with the results of decreased numbers and easy-to-be-ignored notifications, making people care little about their allowance. In contrast, with wallets getting thinner and thinner, people will have not visual, but tactual feedback, which makes it clearer for people to know how much they have paid and left. Thus people will be more sensitive for their asset and gradually have the mind to make plans for money.

? ? ? ? 其次是財物管理意識。使用電子支付是，人們得到的反饋只有余額數(shù)字的減少以及一條不太引人注目的通知消息，這使人容易忽略余額的數(shù)量。但是，錢包的“消瘦”可以給人以視覺和觸覺上的刺激，讓人更清楚地感受到花了多少，還剩多少。這樣一來，人們對財產(chǎn)數(shù)額也更為敏感，也會漸漸開始規(guī)劃自己的開支。

Third, the leisure lifestyle. Electronic payment enables people to finish the buying process in seconds, pushing them to finish tasks . It’s good for efficiency, but sometimes makes people a busy spinning top. With traditional payment, people take out their wallet, handle the money and wait for change, during which they can have a relaxing gossip with the assistants or others around them to ease the stress from work. Traditional payment represents an easy lifestyle, in which people run their errands in peaceful pace and aren’t always worried.

? ? ? ? 第三點是閑適的生活狀態(tài)。電子支付可以讓人在幾秒鐘內(nèi)完成購買操作，催促著他們趕快進行接下來的任務(wù)。這樣做提高了效率，但有時也會讓人忙得像個不停的小陀螺。傳統(tǒng)的紙幣支付方式下，取出錢包，遞錢，等找零，在這個過程中還可以和店員或者旁邊的人聊上一兩句，借機忙中偷閑減緩一下工作壓力。傳統(tǒng)的支付手段代表著一種悠閑的生活方式，人們可以自在地辦著事情，而不用總是待在焦慮狀態(tài)。

In conclusion, electronic payment brings convenience and efficiency, but the traditional payment owns its unique virtues which cannot be simply abandoned. Traditional payment makes it safe for payment, arouses economical awareness and presents a comfortable lifestyle, which attracts me to give my preference to it.

? ? ? ? 總之，電子支付雖然便捷高效，但傳統(tǒng)支付以其獨特的價值而存在，不能簡單扔至不管。傳統(tǒng)支付手段可以保障支付安全，喚起人們的經(jīng)濟意識，同時代表了一種怡然自得的生活狀態(tài)，這便是我為之傾心的原因所在。
