Full transcript
Mr. Dobrescu, before we prepare your defence for the hearing, tell me exactly what happened outside the hotel that night, including who approached whom first.
El a venit spre mine foarte agresiv, m-a împins tare în piept lângă intrarea în local, și am crezut că urmează să mă lovească, așa că l-am împins înapoi.
Did you try to walk away, or was there simply no chance to retreat before you reacted?
Nu am avut timp să plec, eram blocat între mașini parcate și el continua să vină spre mine, foarte aproape.
Under New South Wales law, self-defence applies only if your response was reasonable and proportionate to the threat you genuinely believed you were facing at that moment.
Deci contează cât de tare l-am împins, nu doar faptul că m-am simțit amenințat, corect?
Yes, the magistrate will weigh the force you used against the danger you honestly believed you were facing at the time.
Am înțeles. Sper că magistratul va vedea că nu am avut de ales în acel moment.
Your trial is listed at Downing Centre Local Court in six weeks, so we need your medical report and the police event number well before then.
În afară de raportul medical, ce alte documente ar trebui să aduc înainte de proces?
Bring your GP's report, any photos of your injuries, and the police event number; if you don't have the medical report yet, book an appointment this week.
Voi suna chiar astăzi la clinică pentru raportul medical și voi aduce și fotografiile la întâlnirea noastră următoare.
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.
- magistrateSe traduce prin „judecător” sau, pentru precizie, „judecător de la instanța inferioară”, deoarece în România nu există exact echivalentul funcției.
- local courtSe traduce prin „tribunal local” sau se poate păstra „Local Court” urmat de explicație scurtă.
- event numberSe spune „numărul evenimentului” sau „numărul de referință al poliției”.
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.
