苹果8月要推出信用卡（双语）

　　The Apple Card, a high-profile credit card partnership between Goldman Sachs and Apple, is scheduled to launch in the first two weeks of August, a person familiar with the project told CNBC.

　　一位知情人士向美国消费者新闻与商业频道(CNBC)透露，高盛集团和苹果高调推出的信用卡Apple Card预计于八月份前两周推出。

　　Apple revealed the new credit card product in March at an event at its headquarters. Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon was in attendance at the launch.

　　苹果于三月份在总部发布了这款新的信用卡产品，高盛集团首席执行官David Solomon出席了发布会。

　　At the time, Apple said that Apple Card would launch “this summer.”

　　当时苹果称Apple Card将于“今年夏季”推出。

　　For Apple, the credit card is another online service that will help keep current iPhone users hooked on Apple products.

　　对于苹果而言，这款信用卡是另一项线上服务，有助于使现有的iPhone用户专注于苹果产品。

　　And for Goldman Sachs, it’s the highest-profile product in a growing consumer push for the investment bank.

　　对于高盛集团而言，这是这家投资银行为满足不断增长的消费者需求推出的最引人注目的产品。

　　Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Apple declined to comment.

　　高盛集团拒绝置评，苹果也拒绝置评。

　　Apple is handling the user-facing software product and Goldman Sachs is handling the back-end by providing Apple with software tools called APIs for the financial services the product uses, the person said.

　　该知情人士透露，苹果正在处理这款面向用户的软件产品，高盛集团正在处理后台运行，为苹果提供应用程序编程接口的软件工具来提供该产品所使用的金融服务。

　　The card is designed to be used through the iPhone’s Wallet app, but it also includes a physical titanium card for vendors that do not accept contactless payments.

　　这张卡被设计为通过iPhone的钱包应用程序使用，也有钛合金的实体卡，供不接受无接触式付款方式的商家使用。

　　The Apple Card is designed to stand out from other credit cards by providing a sophisticated software interface to track balance and purchases.

　　这款Apple Card的设计有别于其他信用卡，提供一个复杂的软件界面来跟踪余额和支付。

　　It also has several consumer-friendly features that encourage users to avoid debt or pay it down quickly, which has led some people in finance to believe it will be difficult for banks to make money on the product, CNBC previously reported.

　　美国消费者新闻与商业频道此前报道称，它也有几个对消费者有利的特点，避免消费者负债或者快速还清债务，这让很多金融界人士觉得银行很难从这个产品上赚到钱。

　　Users can sign up for the card in the most recent version of the iPhone software, iOS 12.4, the person said.

　　知情人士说用户可以在iPhone最新的iOS 12.4版本上申请该卡。

　　The Apple Card wallet integration also works with iOS 13, which is scheduled to launch this fall alongside new iPhones. People are already testing the card, the person said.
