１職場の同僚二人がキャッシュレス決済について話しています
Two of the colleagues at work are talking about cashless payments.
A：ねえ、アンディー、昨夜の面白いテレビ番組みた？
A: High, Andy. Did you see the interesting TV show last night?
A: Hey Andy, did you see that interesting TV show last night?
B：キャッシュレス決済についての番組のこと？
B: Are you talking about the program on cashless payment?
B: You mean the show about cashless payment?
A： そうそう。どうやら私も真剣に考えてみたほうがよさそうだわ
A: That’s right. It seems that I should seriously consider it.
A: Oh yeah. Apparently I should give it some serious thought.
B： まだ現金で物を買ってるの？
B: Are you still using cash to buy things?
B: Are you still buying things with cash?
A：そうよ。キャッシュレスにすると、いくらかプライバシーを犠牲にしなければならなくなるような気がするの
A: Yes. It looks like I will have to give up some of my privacy if I go cash-free.
A: Yes, I do. I feel that if I go cashless, I’ll have to sacrifice some privacy.
B： どんなプライバシー？きっとクレジットカードは持っているんだから、つまりはある程度個人情報を犠牲にしていることになるよ
B: What privacy? You must have a credit card, and that means you’ve already given away some of your personal information.
B: What kind of privacy? I’m sure you have a credit card, so that means you’re sacrificing some personal information.
A： わかっているけど、自分の消費行動なんかを誰にも知られないようにしておけるとはおもえないのよ、いったんスマホアプリで電子マネーを使い始めちゃたら
A: I know, but I doubt that I can keep things like my spending habits completely private once I start paying electronically using smartphone apps.
A: I know, but I don’t think I can keep anyone in the dark about my spending habits, once I start using electronic money on my phone app.
B： そんなのたいしたことじゃないさ。率直に言って、世の中が完全にキャッシュレスになった方がいいと思うんだ
B: It’s not that big of a deal. Frankly speaking, I think society should be completely cash-free.
B: It’s not a big deal. Frankly, I think the world would be better off if it went completely cashless.
A： あいにく私はそうは思わないな。誰もが選択肢を与えられるべきよ。銀行口座さえ持っていない人がいるし、クレジットカードを持てない人もいる。スマホを買えない人だっているんだから。
A: I’m afraid I don’t think so. There should be options for everyone. Some people don’t even have bank accounts and can’t get credit cards. Some people can’t even buy smartphones.
A: Unfortunately, I don’t think so. Everyone should be given a choice. Some people don’t even have a bank account, some people can’t get a credit card. Some people can’t even afford a cell phone.
B： それはそうだね。まぁ、この続きは次の機会に話そう。5分後に会議があるんだ。
B: That’s true. Well, let’s talk about this more next time. I have a meeting in five minutes.
B: That’s true. Well, we can talk about this next time, I have a meeting in five minutes.
