Nate starts to browse eBay

Nate: OK. I just saw a Versace for thirty dollars. This stuff can't be real!

Gilly: Most of it is. You should sign up.

Nate:I'm not sure I'd want to give these people my credit card number.

Gilly:Didn't you read about PayPal and Bidpay? They are very safe.

Nate:Sure, but it's so complicated. They asked for my credit card authorization number.

Gilly:That's the last three or four numbers on the back of your credit card where your signature is.

Nate:I have trouble understanding all these forms...but I'm sure I'll get it.

奈特开始看eBay网页

奈特：好。我看到一件凡赛斯才三十块。这东西不可能是真的!

吉莉：大部分都是真的。你该注册加入的。

奈特：我不确定我是不是要给这些人我的信用卡号码。

吉莉：你没看PayPal和Bidpay的介绍吗?它们都很安全的。

奈特：看了，不过太复杂了。它们还要我的信用卡授权码。

吉莉：那是你信用卡背面号码的末三或四码，就在你签名的地方。

奈特：我看不懂这堆表格……但我想我会弄清楚的。
