Registering a New Puppy with the Local Council

Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today. I can see you've brought your new puppy with you—could you show me her microchip number and vaccination certificate?
早上好,谢谢你。这是她的微芯片证明和疫苗记录,都在这里。请问登记需要在什么时候之前完成呢?
By law, all dogs in New South Wales must be registered by six months of age, and they need to be microchipped beforehand.
明白了,那如果我登记晚了,会有什么后果吗?比如罚款之类的?
If you don't register on time, you could receive a fine, so it's best to complete it as soon as possible.
好的,我尽快去办。那这个登记是一次性的,还是每年都要续期呢?
Dog registration in New South Wales is a one-off lifetime registration, not an annual renewal, so you won't need to pay again every year.
太好了,那如果以后我们搬家了,需要重新登记地址吗?
You can update your address anytime through the NSW Pet Registry website, or by visiting the council office in person with proof of your new address.
明白了,那登记大概需要多少钱呢?
The registration fee varies depending on whether your dog is desexed, and pensioner or concession card holders may pay a reduced fee.
好的,谢谢。我今天下午就去兽医那儿问清楚绝育证明,这周末就把材料带来登记。
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.
- concession card译为“优惠卡”或“福利优惠卡”，如果语境明确可保留英文Concession Card。
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.
