2.Which is nothing more or less than excellent service, if you have the money. But across society, the abstraction of the idea of cash makes me uneasy. Maybe I’m just old-fashioned. But earning money isn’t quick or easy for most of us. Isn’t it a bit weird that spending it should happen in half a blink of an eye? Doesn’t a wallet—that time-honoured Friday-night feeling of pleasing, promising fatness—represent something that matters?
翻译:如果你有钱,这正体现了出色的服务。不过从全社会范围来看,现金概念的抽象化让我很不舒服。或许我就是很守旧。但是,对于我们中的多数人来说,挣钱并不是那么快或那么容易的。在一眨眼都不到的工夫里就把这些钱花掉,岂不是有点儿奇怪?钱包——由来已久的那种周五晚上钱包鼓鼓、令人觉得愉快且前途光明的感觉——难道不是象征了某种重要的事吗?
