Full transcript
Mr Wang, I'm your solicitor from Legal Aid NSW. You've been formally charged with manslaughter following the fatal car accident last month.
律师你好，我不太清楚“manslaughter”是什么意思，是不是跟故意杀人一样严重？我真的不是故意的，我很害怕。
No, it's different. Manslaughter means someone died as a result of your actions, but without any intention to kill them.
那我现在会不会被关起来？还是说我可以先保释出去，等开庭的时候再来处理这件事？
The court granted you bail with strict conditions: a curfew from nine pm to six am, and weekly reporting to Parramatta Police Station.
好的，那我第一次开庭是什么时候？我需要提前准备什么文件带过去吗？
Your first court date is next Tuesday at nine thirty am at Parramatta Local Court. Please bring your passport and any medical reports with you.
如果我不小心违反了保释条件，比如说因为加班晚回家了，会有什么严重的后果吗？
If you breach your bail conditions, even unintentionally, the police can arrest you immediately, and you may be held in custody until the trial begins.
我明白了，我一定会非常小心。对了，我请不起私人律师，Legal Aid可以一直帮我打这个官司吗？
Yes, as long as you continue to meet the means test, Legal Aid NSW will keep representing you throughout the trial, completely free of charge.
好的，谢谢律师，那我下星期二早上九点半准时到Parramatta地方法院，会带上护照和医疗报告。

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.
