An Australian Border Force officer interviews a Chinese-speaking traveller in an interview room at Sydney Airport.

  1. Customs Officer · turn 1

    Good afternoon. My name is Senior Customs Officer James Walker from the Australian Border Force. Before we continue, I need to remind you that you are not obliged to say or do anything unless you wish to do so. However, anything you do say may be used as evidence. Do you understand?

    下午好。我是澳洲邊防局高級海關官員James Walker。在我們繼續之前,我需要提醒您,除非您自願,否則您沒有義務說任何話或做任何事。不過,您所說的任何內容都可能被用作證據。您明白嗎?

  2. Traveller · turn 2

    明白,我知道。

    Yes, I understand.

  3. Customs Officer · turn 3

    I would now like to resume the questioning. This morning, a Customs officer found prohibited substances concealed inside a DVD player in your luggage during a routine inspection. Do you have anything to say about this?

    現在我想繼續問話。今天早上,一名海關官員在例行檢查期間,發現您的行李中有違禁物質藏在一部DVD播放器內。您對此有甚麼要說嗎?

  4. Traveller · turn 4

    我來澳大利亞是幫我表姐照顧我阿姨的,她得了癌症,已經快不行了。這台DVD播放器是我幾天前向一個我在中國認識的人借來的。他說我在澳洲沒有朋友,無聊的時候可以用。

    I came to Australia to help my cousin care for my aunt. She has cancer and is close to death. I borrowed this DVD player several days ago from someone I know in China. He said that, because I had no friends in Australia, I could use it when I was bored.

  5. Customs Officer · turn 5

    Can you tell me who lent you the DVD player? Do you know his full name or where he lives?

    您可以告訴我誰把DVD播放器借給您嗎?您知道他的全名或住址嗎?

  6. Traveller · turn 6

    我可以給你我工作的公司名稱,但我不知道借給我DVD播放器那個人的姓名和地址。我不太認識他,只是最近透過我工作的餐廳同事介紹才認識他的。

    I can give you the name of the company where I work, but I don’t know the name or address of the person who lent me the DVD player. I don’t know him very well. I only met him recently through a colleague at the restaurant where I work.

  7. Customs Officer · turn 7

    I'm sorry, but your story is unlikely to stand up in court. Someone you barely knew heard that you were travelling to Australia and suddenly offered to lend you a DVD player? Are you aware that hardly anybody uses DVD players nowadays? What exactly did he ask you to do with it once you arrived in Australia?

    很抱歉,但您的說法很可能無法在法庭上成立。一個您幾乎不認識的人聽說您要前往澳洲,就突然主動借給您一部DVD播放器?您知道現在幾乎沒有人使用DVD播放器嗎?他究竟要求您抵達澳洲後怎樣處理這部機器?

  8. Traveller · turn 8

    這有什麼問題嗎?我這個人比較守舊,現在還經常使用DVD播放器。怎麼,澳洲不允許攜帶舊的電子產品入境嗎?我之前擔心過海關時惹麻煩,還特意仔細研究了相關政策。

    What is wrong with that? I’m rather old-fashioned and still use a DVD player regularly. What—does Australia not allow people to bring old electronic equipment into the country? I was worried about encountering problems at Customs, so I specifically researched the relevant policies very carefully beforehand.

  9. Customs Officer · turn 9

    It appears that there are six kilograms of a prohibited substance concealed inside the DVD player. This is a commercial quantity of drugs. Importing such a quantity carries a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

    看來DVD播放器內藏有六公斤違禁物質。這屬於商業數量的毒品。進口這種數量的毒品,最高刑罰是終身監禁。

  10. Traveller · turn 10

    毒品?我可從沒想過販毒。我是個守法的正經人,而且我從來不缺錢,用不著做這種事。

    Drugs? I’ve never considered trafficking drugs. I’m a respectable, law-abiding person, and I’ve never been short of money. I have no need to do such a thing.

  11. Customs Officer · turn 11

    So, you're saying you knew nothing about it at all, is that correct? You didn't know you were carrying a large quantity of drugs into Australia?

    所以,您的意思是自己對此完全不知情,對嗎?您不知道自己正攜帶大量毒品進入澳洲?

  12. Traveller · turn 12

    是的,我的確一點也不知道,我發誓。一定是有人陷害我。請你們務必調查清楚,還我清白。

    Yes, I genuinely knew nothing about it at all. I swear. Someone must have framed me. Please investigate this thoroughly and clear my name.

  13. Customs Officer · turn 13

    Do you have any messages, emails or phone records relating to the person who lent you the DVD player?

    您有任何與借給您DVD播放器的人有關的訊息、電郵或電話紀錄嗎?

  14. Traveller · turn 14

    我只有他的微信,但聊天記錄很少。他只是告訴我到了澳洲之後好好照顧我阿姨,其他什麼都沒有說。

    I only have his WeChat contact, but there is very little chat history. He only told me to take good care of my aunt after arriving in Australia and said nothing else.

  15. Customs Officer · turn 15

    Did he ask you to deliver the DVD player to anyone in Australia or arrange for someone to collect it from you?

    他有要求您把DVD播放器交給澳洲的任何人,或者安排別人向您收取嗎?

  16. Traveller · turn 16

    沒有,他從來沒有提過。他只是說如果我不想用了,下次回國再還給他就可以了。

    No, he never mentioned anything like that. He only said that, if I no longer wanted to use it, I could return it to him the next time I went back to China.

  17. Customs Officer · turn 17

    Were you paid, or were you promised any money or other benefit for bringing the DVD player into Australia?

    您把DVD播放器帶進澳洲,有沒有收到報酬,或者有人承諾給您金錢或其他利益?

  18. Traveller · turn 18

    沒有,一分錢也沒有。我只是覺得他人很好,沒想到會發生這種事。

    No, not a single cent. I simply thought he was a nice person and never expected anything like this to happen.

  19. Customs Officer · turn 19

    All right. We will seize the DVD player and the prohibited substances for forensic examination. We will also analyse your mobile phone and continue our investigation. At this stage, you may be charged with importing a commercial quantity of a border-controlled drug. You have the right to obtain legal advice before answering any further questions.

    好的。我們會扣押DVD播放器和違禁物質作法證檢驗,也會分析您的手機並繼續調查。現階段,您可能會被控進口商業數量的邊境管制毒品。在回答任何進一步問題之前,您有權尋求法律意見。

  20. Traveller · turn 20

    我明白,但我真的是無辜的。我願意全力配合你們調查,希望你們能盡快查明真相,證明我的清白。

    I understand, but I’m genuinely innocent. I’m willing to cooperate fully with your investigation and hope you can establish the truth as soon as possible and prove my innocence.
