為你的失信買單

My idea is that， whenever someone makes a promise， no matter how casual， they would be required to back it with a 1）monetary 2）deposit. If the promise was broken， the 3）recipient would get to keep the money as 4）compensation. ‘Ill call you soon would cost a pound or so. 5）Unconsummated dinner invitations might be twice as much. A declaration of 6）undying love would set you back quite a bit more. 7）Politicians would have to be particularly careful about what they 8）pledged. Theyd probably need to raise a lot more money for the 9）massive 10）payouts expected if elected. 11）Transactions could be carried out both by a form of bank 12）channels and contact 13）activated 14）micro-chips 15）embedded in peoples fingertips. The effect would be to promote 16）integrity. Dishonesty would be expensive， and there would be a 17）premium put on the superficial. Most of all， with the politicians， it would be a way of channeling money from rich 18）donors to the 19）masses， who also should get part of the money.

我的想法是，無論何時，如果有人作出承諾，不管他當(dāng)時有多隨意，都要為其交保證金。一旦他沒有信守諾言，對方就可以用保證金作為賠償。作出“我稍后再打給你”的承諾若失信，要賠償大約1英鎊。沒有兌現(xiàn)的晚餐邀請可能要追加一倍償還。對永恒的愛信誓旦旦會讓你大出血。政治家必須對他們的許諾格外謹(jǐn)慎。他們一旦當(dāng)選，可能需要為承諾過的各種開支籌集更多的錢。交易可以通過銀行或者激活植入到人們指間的微芯片進(jìn)行。這樣做將會提高誠信度。不守承諾會損失慘重，虛情假意也會有保險金作為賠償。最重要的是，這對于政治家來說，那是把錢從富裕的捐款者手中分給貧苦大眾的一種方式，他們也應(yīng)該從中得到一部分錢。
