Bashir needs cash before a weekend trip. He walks to the ATM near his apartment. He puts in his card.
巴希尔在周末出游前需要取些现金。他走到公寓附近的自动取款机前，把银行卡插了进去。
He types his code and presses "Cash." The screen freezes for a long moment. Then it goes completely dark.
他输入密码，按下“取现”。屏幕僵住了好一会儿，然后完全黑了。
Bashir waits and presses buttons again. Nothing happens on the screen. His card does not come back out.
巴希尔等了等，又按了几下按钮。屏幕上毫无反应。他的卡也没有退出来。
He calls the number printed on the machine. A recording tells him to wait. Bashir taps his foot and waits.
他拨打了机器上印着的电话。录音让他等待。巴希尔不耐烦地用脚点着地，等着。
After some time, a person answers the phone. "My card is stuck in your machine," Bashir explains. "I need it for my trip."
过了一会儿，有人接了电话。“我的卡卡在你们的机器里了，”巴希尔解释说，“我出游要用。”
"I can help with that," the woman says. "There is another branch two blocks away."
“这个我可以帮你，”女士说，“两个街区外还有一家支行。”
Bashir thanks her and walks down the street. He finds the second bank quickly. A different ATM stands by the door.
巴希尔向她道谢，沿着街道走去。他很快找到了第二家银行。门边有另一台取款机。
He tries his card in the new machine. It reads the card right away. Bashir breathes out and relaxes.
他把卡插进新机器。机器马上读出了卡。巴希尔长长地呼出一口气，放松下来。
He gets his cash and puts it away. He calls the first bank about his card. They promise to mail a new one.
他取了现金收好。然后给第一家银行打电话说卡的事。他们答应寄一张新卡给他。
Bashir walks home with his cash. His trip is still on schedule. He checks his watch and smiles.
巴希尔带着现金走回家。他的旅行仍然按计划进行。他看了看手表，笑了。
