Full transcript
Mrs Kwan, your CT scan shows a mild traumatic brain injury from the fall at work today. We'll need to monitor you closely over the next few hours.
我而家頭好痛，仲有啲頭暈，係咪好嚴重架?
Headache and dizziness are quite common after this type of head injury. We'll continue to watch you closely for the next twenty-four hours in case symptoms worsen.
啱啱喺病房嗰陣我嘔咗一次，會唔會有事？
Vomiting once after a head injury can be a warning sign we take seriously. I'd like to admit you overnight at Liverpool Hospital for closer observation.
咁我先生可唔可以喺醫院陪我瞓一晚？另外我間工廠嗰邊要唔要我請假先？
Yes, your husband can stay overnight with you. I also recommend you take at least three days off work before returning to the factory.
好，噉如果我出返院之後，可唔可以即刻揸車返工呀？
You must not drive until I clear you at your follow-up appointment, since your reflexes may still be affected.
咁我幾時要返嚟覆診呀？
Please come back for a follow-up in two weeks. If your headache or dizziness gets worse before then, see your GP immediately.
明白晒，多謝你，醫生。我會同先生講，同埋通知工廠嗰邊。
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.
