一个月之内第二次信用卡被拒了是怎么回事

今天的这段对话，在讨论信用卡，
 
一个月之内第二次信用卡被拒了是怎么回事
 
来听今天的讲解:
 
A: This is the second time I’ve been turned down for a credit card in a month. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
 
这是我一个月之内第二次信用卡被拒了。我不知道自己做错了什么。
 
B: Have you checked your credit report recently? Maybe you have a bad credit rating.
 
你最近有没有查看信用记录？或许你的信用评级不好。
 
A: I have a full-time job with a good income, which they can easily verify, and I don’t haveany outstanding debt, so what could be the problem?
 
我有一份收入良好的全职工作，他们很容易证实，我也没有未偿付债务，那可能是什么问题呢？
 
B: Have you had a credit card before?
 
你以前有没有信用卡呢？
 
A: Yes.
 
有。
 
B: Did you always make your payments on time?
 
你有没有及时支付呢？
 
A: Well, no.
 
哦，没有。
 
B: Then that may be your answer. Your payment history makes a big difference with the credit bureau. If you’ve missed payments or been late, that’s a big strike against you.
 
可能就是这个问题了。你的支付历史对信用评定机构有很大影响。如果你未支付或延时支付，对你来说是一个很大的打击。
 
A: You mean if I were late a few times, I wouldn’t be able to get another credit card?
 
你是说如果我有几次未及时支付，我不可能再得到另外一张信用卡？
 
B: A few times? How many times?
 
几次？多少次？
 
A: Well, maybe a lot of times.
 
哦，或许很多次。
 
B: And why do you need another credit card if you already have one?
 
如果你已经有一张信用卡了，为什么还要再申请一张呢？
 
A: Had one, past tense. The credit card company cancelled it.
 
曾经有，已经是过去了。信用卡公司取消了。
 
B: I think we’ve just found the crux of the problem.
 
我想我们已经发现了问题的关键了。
