frequently used cash dispensers have become more 31 , many of these machines suffer from an
important translation error related to the “cancel your transaction” option. 32 a withdrawal
situation. Once you have told the bank machine how much money you would like to withdraw,
it will respond by saying, “Processing .... Please wait.” This means that the machine is 33 completing the service you requested. If the process has been successful, the machine will ask you,
“Do you want to cancel this transaction?”, instead of “Do you want to continue with another
transaction?”, before 34 your cash. Canceling this transaction would mean that you’ve realized
you have made 35 , and would like the machine to return your bank account to its original
status. The problem is that the machine interprets “canceling your transaction” as meaning that you
would not like to continue using it and would now like to take your card back. 【題組】
