Full transcript
You've been charged with common assault under the Crimes Act. This is a criminal offence, but it doesn't necessarily mean you'll go to prison.
这听起来很严重。我是不是一定要请律师才能处理这件事？
Your first hearing is at the Local Court of NSW, next Tuesday, the 14th of April, at 10am. You should attend with your solicitor.
如果我没有请律师，可以自己去开庭吗？
You can represent yourself, but I strongly recommend having a solicitor, especially since a conviction could affect other areas of your life, such as employment.
那如果我真的被定罪了，会不会影响我的工作签证？我现在是持工签在澳洲工作的。
Yes, it could. Home Affairs assesses character requirements, so a conviction, especially for violence, might affect your visa status or future applications.
明白了，那有没有什么办法可以避免留下犯罪记录，比如那种愤怒管理课程？
If this is your first offence, you may be eligible for a diversion program instead of a formal conviction, but the magistrate makes the final decision.
这个课程大概要上多久？
It usually runs for eight weeks, one session per week. Completing it successfully can support your case.
好的，谢谢您，那我们下一步要做什么？
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 court译为“地方法院”，是被广泛接受的标准译法。
- home affairs保留英文名称 Home Affairs，可加简短说明“移民与边境事务部”。
- 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.
