mastercard是什么意思

The card-payment companies MasterCard and Visa are pushing hard for change.

信用卡支付公司万事达卡和Visa正在大力推动变革。

While American credit cards use the 40-year-old magstripe technology to process transactions, much of the rest of the world uses smarter cards with a technology called EMV ( short for Europay, MasterCard, Visa) that employs a chip embedded in the card plus a customer PIN ( personal identification number) to authenticate every transaction on the spot.

虽然美国信用卡使用有40年历史的磁条技术来处理交易,但世界上大多数国家都使用更智能的卡,其技术名为EMV（Europay、MasterCard、Visa的缩写）,利用嵌入卡中的芯片加上一个客户PIN（个人识别码）来现场验证每笔交易。

There are things money can't buy, for everything else there's MasterCard.

世上是有金钱买不到的东西, 但其它一切一切,请用万事达.
