A recent survey conducted by the ING bank in 13 European countries, Australia and the US, showed Austrians were the most resistant to the idea of giving up cash payments.

荷兰国际集团近期在13个欧洲国家、澳大利亚和美国开展的调查显示，奥地利人对于放弃现金支付的抵触情绪最大。

Just 10 percent of those surveyed in Austria said they could imagine doing without cash, compared to a European average of 22 percent.

奥地利只有10%的受访者表示，他们可以想象没有现金的生活，而欧洲国家的平均水平为22%。

According to European Central Bank data compiled in 2017, cash accounted for 67 percent of money spent at points of sale in Austria, compared to just 27 percent in the Netherlands.

根据欧洲中央银行2017年汇编的数据，奥地利各销售点的现金支付率为67%，相比之下荷兰的现金支付率只占27%。

Even in neighboring Germany, another country known for its attachment to cash, the rate is only 55 percent.

即使在邻国德国，另一个以喜爱现金支付著称的国家，现金支付率也只有55%。

Academic and author Erich Kirchler, a specialist in economic psychology, says in Austria and Germany, citizens are aware of the dangers of an overmighty state from their World War II experience.

学者、作家、经济心理学专家埃里希·基尔希勒说，奥地利和德国的公民在二战期间经历过强权国家，因此他们都意识到身处强权之下的危险。
