2 2 A:Why are “MasterCard” symbols on the faces of Peony Card?

B:Ah.That’s because the ICBC has joined in the MasterCard International Organization in Feb.1990.And “MasterCard” is the symbol of the organization.

A:Does it do anything with the Peony Card?

B:Well,according to the regulations of the Internatioal Credit Card Organization, every member bank must design the symbol of the organization on the face of the credit card. Therefore,there are “MasterCard” symbols on the faces of the peony cards.

A:Ah.I think it’s the same with the VISA symbol.

B:Quite so.

A:为什么牡丹卡卡面上带有“MasterCard”图案？

B:因为中国工商银行己于1990年2月加入了“万事达卡”国际组织，成为其会员银行。“MasterCard”是该组织的标志。

A:这与牡丹卡有什么关系吗？

B:嗯，根据国际信用卡组织的规定，每个会员银行发行的信用卡面上必须带有该组织的标志，因此，牡丹卡面上带有“MasterCard”标志。

A:喔，看来VISA图案也是如此。

B:正是这样。
