中國銀聯(lián)與當(dāng)當(dāng)網(wǎng)日前推出了“固網(wǎng)支付”業(yè)務(wù)。簡單說，“固網(wǎng)支付”就是把你家里的“固定電話”換成可刷卡的電話，然后在這種新型的電話機(jī)上直接刷卡，進(jìn)行水、電、氣、電話費、手機(jī)費、轉(zhuǎn)帳等的支付。

請看《中國日報》相關(guān)報道：China UnionPay, the country's sole bankcard transactions operator, is working with a few leading Chinese e-commerce service providers to promote a fixed-line phone payment system.

The pay service uses a special phone installed at the user's end. E-commerce customers can then swipe their bankcards on the device to complete a transaction.

若要表達(dá)“固網(wǎng)支付”，首先得弄明白“固”即“固定電話”——fixed-line phone，跟它相對的是mobile phone（移動電話）。由此，這種新型支付業(yè)務(wù)也就不難用英文表達(dá)了：fixed-line phone payment system。
