He inserted his smart card in the payer slot of his “ portamento “ , as the palm - sized debit credit machine was called , and punched in his pin to agree to have the amount of the bill debited from his card and credited to the supermarket s card in the payee slot 他把聰明卡插入他自己的輕便錢箱手掌大小的電子收支機的付款槽,輸入個人密碼,表示同意自他的聰明卡扣除帳單所示款額,并把款項支入已插在收款槽里超級市場的聰明卡。

He was old - fashioned about cash , and always insisted on using his own portamento for fear of information in his card being stolen using his counterparty s portamento , notwithstanding the privacy protection device now built in to all smart cards 對于現金,他比較傳統,即使所有聰明卡都有私隱保障裝置,他仍然堅持用自己的輕便錢箱,以免被交易對手盜取卡上的資料。
