Police Traffic Stop

1. Police Officer · turn 1

   Good evening, sir. Would you please produce your driver’s licence for a check?

   先生，晚上好。請出示你的駕駛執照，以便檢查。

2. Mr Sun · turn 2

   沒問題。這是我的中國駕照和翻譯件。由於我剛來澳大利亞，還沒有去考澳大利亞駕照，所以暫時先用這個。給你。

   No problem. Here are my Chinese driver licence and its translation. As I have only recently arrived in Australia and have not yet taken the test for an Australian driver licence, I am using this one for the time being. Here you are.

3. Police Officer · turn 3

   Thank you, Mr Sun. I was driving right behind you while you were travelling along Parramatta Road. Before we go any further, have you consumed any alcohol or taken any drugs before getting behind the wheel tonight?

   謝謝你，孫先生。你沿著帕拉馬塔路行駛時，我的車就在你後面。在我們繼續之前，請問你今晚開車前有沒有喝酒或服用任何毒品？

4. Mr Sun · turn 4

   沒有。我知道酒駕行為的嚴重性，所以晚餐的時候只喝了一些碳酸飲料。儘管朋友一直勸我稍微喝一點酒，我還是堅決謝絕了他們的勸說，一滴酒都沒有沾。

   No. I understand how serious drink-driving is, so I only had some soft drinks with dinner. Although my friends kept urging me to have a little alcohol, I firmly declined. I did not drink a single drop.

5. Police Officer · turn 5

   All right. I need you to take a roadside breath test now to verify what you’ve told me. Please switch off the engine, get out of the car and follow my instructions for the test. Take a deep breath and blow steadily into this device until I tell you to stop.

   好的。現在我需要你接受路邊呼氣測試，以核實你所說的話。請關掉引擎、下車，並按照我的指示進行測試。深吸一口氣，然後持續向這部儀器吹氣，直到我叫你停止。

6. Mr Sun · turn 6

   行，我這就證明給你看我是個遵紀守法的人。你應該相信我。測試結果肯定會證明我絕對沒有撒謊。不過，我剛才是不是有甚麼可疑的行為，所以你才把我攔下來？

   All right. I will prove to you now that I am a law-abiding person. You should believe me. The test result will certainly prove that I was not lying at all. However, did I do something suspicious just now that caused you to pull me over?

7. Police Officer · turn 7

   The reading does indeed show a zero blood alcohol concentration. I pulled you over because you were straddling the edge of your lane and continued driving that way until the previous set of traffic lights. You didn’t seem to be aware of it at all. That sort of driving can be very dangerous, not only for yourself but also for other road users around you.

   讀數確實顯示你的血液酒精濃度為零。我截停你，是因為你的車一直跨著行車線邊緣行駛，直到剛才那組交通燈為止。你似乎完全沒有察覺。這種駕駛方式可能非常危險，不但危及你自己，也危及周圍其他道路使用者。

8. Mr Sun · turn 8

   原來是這樣。當時我的確只顧著看交通燈，沒有留意到自己的車居然有點偏移，而且都已經壓線了。非常謝謝你的提醒。我以後開車一定會更加注意，不會再犯同樣的錯誤了。

   I see. At the time, I was indeed concentrating only on the traffic lights and did not notice that my car had drifted and was already crossing the line. Thank you very much for alerting me. I will definitely pay more attention when driving in future and will not make the same mistake again.

9. Police Officer · turn 9

   I understand. You need to make sure you remain within your lane and maintain proper control of your vehicle at all times. Even if you haven’t consumed any alcohol, failing to pay attention to your position on the road can still create a serious safety risk.

   我明白。你必須確保車輛一直保持在自己的行車線內，並時刻妥善控制車輛。即使你沒有喝酒，不留意車輛在道路上的位置，仍然可能造成嚴重的安全風險。

10. Mr Sun · turn 10

    我明白。可能是因為我剛來澳大利亞，對這裡的道路和交通規則還不是很熟悉，而且中國是靠右行駛，所以我還需要一點時間適應。不過我會更加小心的。

    I understand. Perhaps it is because I have only recently arrived in Australia and am not yet very familiar with the roads and traffic rules here. Also, vehicles drive on the right in China, so I still need some time to adjust. However, I will be more careful.

11. Police Officer · turn 11

    That’s understandable, but you’re still required to comply with NSW road rules whenever you’re driving here. If you’re unfamiliar with the roads, I’d recommend allowing yourself extra time and avoiding distractions while driving.

    這是可以理解的，但你在這裡駕駛時，仍然必須遵守新南威爾士州的道路規則。如果你不熟悉道路，我建議你預留更多時間，並避免在駕駛時分心。

12. Mr Sun · turn 12

    好的，我會注意。那我今天沒有喝酒，而且測試結果也是零，我現在可以繼續開車嗎？

    All right, I will pay attention. Since I have not consumed alcohol today and the test result is also zero, may I continue driving now?

13. Police Officer · turn 13

    Yes. I’m not taking any further action in relation to alcohol. However, please take extra care with your lane position. One more thing: you should look into obtaining a NSW driver licence as soon as possible. Depending on your circumstances and how long you’ve held your overseas licence, there may be tests or other requirements you need to complete.

    可以。我不會就酒精方面採取進一步行動。不過，請格外留意車輛在行車線內的位置。還有一件事：你應該儘快了解如何取得新南威爾士州駕駛執照。視乎你的情況和持有海外駕駛執照的年期，你可能需要完成某些測試或其他要求。

14. Mr Sun · turn 14

    哦，我其實也打算去考的，只是還不知道去哪裡預約路考。我住在 Chatswood，那裡可以辦理嗎？

    Oh, I am actually planning to apply for one as well, but I do not yet know where to book the driving test. I live in Chatswood. Can I arrange it there?

15. Police Officer · turn 15

    Certainly. You can search for “Service NSW” online and find the location of the nearest service centre in Chatswood. They’ll be able to explain the requirements for transferring your overseas licence and tell you what tests, if any, you need to complete. I suggest checking the requirements before you make a booking.

    當然可以。你可以在網上搜尋「新南威爾士州服務處」，查找車士活附近的服務中心。他們可以向你解釋轉換海外駕駛執照的要求，並告訴你需要完成哪些測試，如有的話。我建議你在預約前先查明相關要求。

16. Mr Sun · turn 16

    好的，謝謝。我回去就查一下，也會盡快把駕照的事情辦好。今天也謝謝你提醒我剛才壓線的問題。

    All right, thank you. I will look it up when I get home and will deal with my driver licence as soon as possible. Thank you also for alerting me to the issue of crossing the lane line just now.

17. Police Officer · turn 17

    No problem. Please drive carefully and make sure you stay within your lane. Have a safe trip home.

    不用客氣。請小心駕駛，並確保車輛保持在自己的行車線內。祝你平安到家。

18. Mr Sun · turn 18

    好的，謝謝警官。我會小心的。

    All right. Thank you, Officer. I will be careful.
