Pedro Volpe had just woken up last Tuesday when he saw a message from a friend asking whether his bank account was down too.(上周二,佩德罗·沃尔佩刚醒来,就看到一位朋友发来消息,问他银行账户是不是也出问题了。)
上周二,佩德罗·沃尔佩刚醒来,就看到一位朋友发来消息,问他银行账户是不是也出问题了。
It was a day after payday(发薪日), and Volpe, 50, a writer and lawyer, opened his banking app and panicked(惊慌失措): he could not even see his balance(余额).
那天是发薪日的第二天,50岁的作家兼律师沃尔佩打开银行应用,顿时慌了:他连自己的余额都看不到。
Volpe was among nearly 3 million Paraguayans, about 60% of the country’s adult population, whose accounts had been frozen(冻结的) overnight. All were customers of Ueno Bank, a digital lender that aggressively expanded across the South American country in recent years, and which, on Monday night, the central bank ordered into resolution over insolvency.(他们都是Ueno银行的客户,这家数字贷款机构近年来在南美国家巴拉圭大举扩张,而周一晚上,中央银行因资不抵债下令对其进行清算。)
