请将下面这段话翻译成英文：
信用卡是银行所创造出来的最便捷同时也是最危险 的信用工具。通过信用卡，人们可以先用银行付账的方式购买那些 负担不起的物品，同时，银行也将对此征收比_般贷款要高的利率 。遗憾的是，信用卡现巳成为资本主义体制的重要组成部分，而该体制就得依赖消费的持 续增长。
参考翻译：
Credit cards are one of the most convenient devices ever cre ated by the banking system but, at the same time, one of the most dangerous. They allow people to buy things they，otherwise, couldnt afford， with money created by the banks and, charged out at much higher interest rates than normal loans. Unfortunately, credit cards have become an essential part of the capitalist system which only survives on the continued growth in consumption.
