避开'钱'委婉的说法应当怎么说?

发现老外比较回避谈钱,好像那个字眼对他们来说很不舒服
唉算了入乡随俗了,不过现在觉得这么说也挺恭敬礼貌的,刚来的时候不习惯

比如:“您要怎样付钱?”
"how would you like to settle the account"
类似这样的说法

如果要说
“我在等一笔钱到帐”
“我们无法从您的卡上划到钱”
“可不可以先放着,等检查结果出来再付”
“我现在暂时付不起,等我有了就马上补上”
“是不是搞错了,不应该这么多钱”
“我想把支票上的钱全兑现了”
口语的说法就行了

第1个昨天我跟银行说"i'm expecting a deposit from overseas bank"
觉得还不够委婉,有没有更委婉的说法

也不用那么多顾忌,关键别人懂才是最重要的。说的太委婉,万一弄错更惨。:bye:


“我在等一笔钱到帐”
I am waiting for a wired transfer(电汇).
“我们无法从您的卡上划到钱”
Your credit card is rejected(by the bank).
“可不可以先放着,等检查结果出来再付”
Could we settle(clear) this (the payment) after the results.
“我现在暂时付不起,等我有了就马上补上”
For now I am short in cash, may I pay the rest of it later?
I am reaching the credit limit, may I pay the rest of it later or by cash?
“是不是搞错了,不应该这么多钱”
Could you please double check it? I believe it shouldn't cost that much.
“我想把支票上的钱全兑现了
I've already cashed the checks.
