Full transcript
Thank you for coming in today. I have your file here — you're looking to apply for an Apprehended Domestic Violence Order. Is now a safe time to talk?
是的,现在方便。我前男友这几天一直发短信威胁我,昨晚还跑到我家楼下等我,我很害怕,所以想申请保护令。
The court can grant a provisional order today for your immediate safety, and a full hearing will be scheduled for a later date. Does that sound alright?
如果申请了保护令,他会不会知道我住在哪里?我搬家还不到一个月,不想让他找到我。
Your new address won't be given to him — the court keeps it confidential. The order can also set an exclusion zone around your home, at a distance the magistrate decides.
谢谢你解释。那如果保护令下来了,我可以带着孩子一起受到保护吗?他会不会还能申请见孩子?
Yes, the order can include your children as protected persons too. It won't stop him from applying for family law contact, but that's a separate process.
如果法官今天就批准临时保护令,是不是马上就能生效?我今晚回家会不会有危险?
If you agree, the magistrate can issue a provisional order this afternoon, valid until the full hearing date is set.
除了保护令,我还能得到其他帮助吗?比如心理辅导或者临时住的地方?
You can also contact the Domestic Violence Line on 1800 656 463 for practical support and referrals, or 1800RESPECT for counselling. Do you have any other questions before we proceed?
谢谢你,我现在感觉安心多了。我没有其他问题了,我们可以继续办理手续。
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.
- magistrate译为“地方法院法官”或“治安官”，视上下文清楚说明其审理案件的层级。
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.
