延伸：

1、Millions of people make formal complaints each year about their banks.

這里注意的是和complaints搭配的是make帘靡。另外如果是自己翻肯定會只想到complain知给，但這里作者是用抱怨的名詞加搭配來完成。在翻譯時(shí)除了想到簡單的動詞還要多想一層其名詞的搭配來豐富句型描姚。

2涩赢、For them, Sebastian Siemiat-kowski, founder of Klarna, a Swedish pay-ments startup, brings good news.

比起自己偏向用的who,which從句，這里作者用幾個(gè)逗號分隔轩勘，將定語作為插入語筒扒，使句子變得簡潔易懂。學(xué)會運(yùn)用標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號也會讓文章句型更簡潔清晰绊寻。

3花墩、But their reach is more limited elsewhere in Europe.

指業(yè)務(wù)范圍涉及用的是reach這個(gè)動詞，more是形容詞澄步，表示更多的冰蘑。Elsewhere in Europe表示在歐洲的其他地方。
e.g. They were living rather well, in comparison with people elsewhere in the world.
和世界上其他地方的人相比村缸，他們生活得相當(dāng)好祠肥。

4、Banks, on the other hand, have easy access to transaction data, which they can use to sell their customers other services.

另一方面用on the other hand梯皿，在表述兩個(gè)對象不同情況時(shí)會經(jīng)常用到的短語搪柑。
Access的基本義是指通道，通路索烹。這里have easy access to中的access表示(使用或見到的)機(jī)會,權(quán)利工碾。可應(yīng)用于很多題材,屬于要記住并會運(yùn)用的重點(diǎn)詞百姓。
e.g. Journalists were denied access to the President.
記者被擋住,無法見到總統(tǒng)渊额。
e.g. You need a password to get access to the computer system.
使用這個(gè)計(jì)算機(jī)系統(tǒng)需要口令。
e.g. Students must have access to good resources.
學(xué)生必須有機(jī)會使用好的信息資源垒拢。

5旬迹、Provided the customer has given explicit consent, banks will be forced to share customer-account information with licensed ?nancial-ser-vices providers.

這里的Provided表示如果，假如求类，只要奔垦，相當(dāng)于if， 但感覺更高大尸疆，要學(xué)起來椿猎。
e.g. Provided that you have the money in your account, you can withdraw up to ￡100 a day. 只要賬戶存款足夠,每天可提取不超過 100 英鎊惶岭。
還有個(gè)與Provided用法相似的詞是Given, 表示考慮到，鑒于犯眠，相當(dāng)于considering按灶。
e.g. I am sensible with money, as I have to be, given that I don't earn that much.
考慮到自己掙得不多，我比較精打細(xì)算筐咧，這也是迫不得已鸯旁。

6、Those with limited credit his-tories may ?nd it easier to borrow, too, since richer transaction data should mean more sophisticated credit checks.

這里要注意的是自己的習(xí)慣總是把Since放在前面作原因狀語量蕊。而像本文中是先指出情況铺罢，再說明情況的原因。從中學(xué)會將Since原因狀語順序調(diào)換残炮，豐富句型畏铆。

知識點(diǎn)：mount a challenge表示不解，記住這個(gè)常見搭配铺峭，表達(dá)的意思就是發(fā)起挑戰(zhàn)墓怀，構(gòu)成威脅。reach,用作名詞時(shí)候和influence一個(gè)意思,用來表達(dá)影響的范圍

8. Resistance is manifested as a concern about data protection. Such concerns are legitimate but also, argue fintech supporters, offer a convenient excuse for banks to block competition.

自翻：抵制表現(xiàn)為對數(shù)據(jù)保護(hù)的憂慮尿孔，這些憂慮是合法的衍腥，同時(shí)（據(jù)金融科技的擁護(hù)者辯稱）也為銀行提供了了一個(gè)阻斷競爭的借口
