Full transcript
Mr. Rahman, thanks for coming in today. Before we prepare your self-defense case, can you describe exactly what happened outside the Bankstown hotel last Friday night, and who else was there?
Baiklah. Saya bersama dua orang kawan saya sedang berjalan pulang selepas minum di kedai berhampiran Bankstown apabila seorang lelaki tiba-tiba menyerang saya tanpa sebab, dan kawan-kawan saya turut berada di situ.
Did your two friends see the man throw the first punch, or did they only notice the fight after it started?
Ya, kedua-dua kawan saya nampak dia menumbuk saya dahulu sebelum saya bertindak balas. Saya cuma menolak dia untuk melindungi diri saya, bukan untuk mencederakannya.
Your matter is listed at Bankstown Local Court on the fourteenth of August at ten thirty, unless the prosecution withdraws the charge beforehand, so we must prepare fully.
Baiklah. Adakah kedua-dua kawan saya perlu hadir di mahkamah pada hari itu untuk memberi keterangan secara bertulis atau secara lisan?
Yes, both of your two friends will need to provide written statements, and possibly attend court in person if the magistrate requires further evidence during the hearing.
Saya faham. Saya akan hubungi kedua-dua kawan saya secepat mungkin supaya kenyataan mereka dapat disediakan sebelum tarikh perbicaraan itu.
Self-defense will only succeed if the force you used was reasonable, proportionate, and necessary given the threat you actually faced that night.
Saya faham. Saya cuma menolak dia sekali sahaja untuk menjauhkan diri, saya tidak memukulnya langsung pada bila-bila masa.
I'll also refer you to Legal Aid NSW if you're unable to afford private representation for the upcoming hearing next month.
Terima kasih banyak-banyak. Saya akan pastikan kedua-dua kawan saya bersedia dan saya sendiri akan hadir tepat pada waktunya di mahkamah.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- local courtTerjemah sebagai 'mahkamah tempatan' atau 'mahkamah daerah setempat'; boleh juga kekalkan 'Local Court' jika ia disebut sebagai nama rasmi negeri tertentu (cth NSW).
- magistrateGunakan istilah 'majistret' dalam Bahasa Melayu.
- legal aidGunakan 'bantuan guaman' sebagai terjemahan standard.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
