Full transcript
Good morning, I'm your duty lawyer from Legal Aid NSW. Before the police interview starts, I need to explain your legal rights. Do you understand why you were arrested today?
我明白，警察说在我车里找到了甲基苯丙胺，大概十五克。我承认那是我的，但不太清楚接下来会怎样处理。
You are not required to answer any questions without a lawyer present. If you stay silent, that is your legal right, not an admission of guilt.
如果我保持沉默，会不会让警察觉得我心虚，从而影响我申请保释的机会？接下来他们会怎么处理我？
The police will apply for bail conditions, including reporting weekly and surrendering your passport. If you breach these, you could be remanded in custody.
我明白了，我一定会遵守这些条件。那我什么时候需要出庭？地点在哪里？
Your matter will be listed at Parramatta Local Court next Tuesday at 10am. I strongly recommend you attend with legal representation.
好的，我会准时到场。我需要提前准备什么材料吗？是不是要带身份证明？
Bring your identification and any relevant documents. If you cannot attend, notify the court immediately to avoid a warrant being issued.
明白了，我一定会到。那如果法院最后判我有罪，大概会是什么样的结果？
The court will consider the quantity, your record, and cooperation. I'll advise you further once we review the evidence together.
谢谢您的解释，我现在安心多了，会全力配合调查和法庭程序。

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.
