Full transcript

SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Legal Advisor

Thanks for coming in today. I've got your parking fine notice here—can you walk me through exactly what happened last week?

SEGMENT 2 · MANDARIN · 40 WORDS
Client

早上好。上周三我把车停在超市外面的装卸区,只是下去搬几袋买的东西,大概三分钟就回来了,可是回来的时候车上已经贴了罚单,我觉得这样不太公平。

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Legal Advisor

I see. Could you confirm the exact time and location of the incident, and whether there was any signage indicating loading zone time restrictions?

SEGMENT 4 · MANDARIN · 40 WORDS
Client

是在市中心的乔治街,大概是下午三点十五分。那里确实有个牌子写着装卸区,但上面没有写清楚时间限制,所以我以为随时停车都可以。

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 30 WORDS
Legal Advisor

If the signage was unclear, that could help you. Ask Revenue NSW to review it before the due date on the reminder notice, or within 60 days if already paid.

SEGMENT 6 · MANDARIN · 14 WORDS
Client

好的,那我需要准备哪些证据来支持我的申请呢?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Legal Advisor

Clear photos of the sign and where your car was parked, along with a timestamped supermarket receipt, would really strengthen your case.

SEGMENT 8 · MANDARIN · 20 WORDS
Client

我手机里正好有几张照片,超市的小票也还留着没扔。我可以直接在网上提交这些证据吗?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 28 WORDS
Legal Advisor

Yes, you can upload all of that evidence through the Revenue NSW online portal today. If the review is unsuccessful, you still have the option to appeal to court.

SEGMENT 10 · MANDARIN · 20 WORDS
Client

如果最后真的要上法庭的话,会不会另外还要交费用啊?我最近手头不太宽裕。

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Legal Advisor

Lodging the initial review with Revenue NSW doesn't cost anything. Only if you decide to proceed to court might there be additional costs involved.

SEGMENT 12 · MANDARIN · 26 WORDS
Client

好,那我先把照片和小票传到Revenue NSW网站申请复议,如果不成功再考虑要不要上法庭,就是上法庭可能得多花点钱。

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.

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.
