Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Mr Lam. How has your chest pain been since we adjusted your medication two weeks ago, especially with daily activities?
呢兩個禮拜行樓梯行得快啲就會胸口硬硬哋，好似壓住咁，不過坐低休息就冇晒喇。
Have you needed to use your GTN spray since our last appointment, and if so, how many times this week did you take it?
我呢個禮拜用咗兩次啦，攞支噴劑嗰陣，通常幾分鐘就舒緩返啲。
That's reassuring, but I'd still like you to avoid heavy lifting at work until your stress test at St Vincent's Hospital is completed next month.
醫生，我份工要成日搬嘢，仲要拎啲幾十公斤嘅箱，咁我而家係咪唔可以做呢啲重嘢呀？
I'll write to your employer recommending lighter duties for now, and book you in for a cardiac stress test in six weeks.
好，我明白㗎喇，咁我啲飲食係咪要戒晒啲鹹嘢先得㗎？
Try to cut back on salty and processed food, keep off cigarettes completely, and let me know immediately if the pain gets worse.
我已經戒咗煙半年喇，冇再食返啦。咁你頭先講嗰個運動班，係唔係要成日去嘅?
There's a cardiac rehabilitation program twice a week for six weeks — you can join as long as you don't feel chest pain during exercise.
明白晒喇，多謝你解釋咁清楚，我到時會準時去做返個運動班。

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.
