Full transcript
Thank you for coming in to Bankstown Police Station today, Mr Nguyen. This interview is being recorded, and you're free to stop at any time if you feel uncomfortable.
Dạ vâng, tôi hiểu ạ. Tôi sẵn sàng hợp tác và trả lời hết sức mình, dù tôi hơi run vì đây là lần đầu tôi đến đồn cảnh sát.
Could you tell me, in your own words, exactly what you saw last Saturday evening near the intersection on Hume Highway?
Tôi đang đứng chờ xe buýt thì thấy chiếc xe hơi màu trắng đâm vào một chiếc xe máy rồi bỏ chạy luôn, không dừng lại giúp đỡ gì cả.
You mentioned it happened around a quarter to eight in the evening. Did you check the exact time on your phone?
Tôi không nhìn đồng hồ, nhưng tôi nhớ là vừa xem xong bản tin thời sự lúc bảy giờ rưỡi, nên chắc khoảng bảy giờ bốn lăm gì đó.
Did you manage to see the vehicle's number plate, or even part of it, before the car sped off?
Tôi chỉ kịp nhìn thấy ba chữ số đầu là bảy không chín, còn phần chữ cái phía sau thì xe chạy quá nhanh nên tôi không thấy rõ.
If you're willing, we would like you to provide a written statement today, based on everything you've told me. You're not obliged to sign anything you feel unsure about.
Dạ được, tôi đồng ý ký bản tường trình. Nhưng liệu người lái xe kia có biết tên và địa chỉ của tôi không ạ?
Your name won't be shared with the other driver unless this matter proceeds to court. We'll contact you if we need further details.
Cảm ơn cô đã giải thích rõ ràng. Nếu có gì cần thêm, cô cứ gọi cho tôi, tôi sẽ hợp tác đầy đủ.
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.
