Full transcript
Can you tell me when this pain in your lower back first started, and whether it radiates down into either leg?
Bol je počela prije otprilike tri tjedna, nakon što sam dizao teške kutije na poslu. Ponekad se širi niz desnu nogu do koljena.
Does the pain get worse when you bend forward, sit for long periods at work, or try to lift anything heavy?
Da, pogoršava se kad se sagnem naprijed ili dugo sjedim za stolom. Podizanje bilo čega teškog je gotovo nemoguće.
Based on what you've described, I suspect a muscle strain, but we should rule out a disc problem with an X-ray first.
Je li to nešto ozbiljno? Bojim se da bih mogao trebati operaciju kralježnice.
I'll refer you to I-MED Radiology on Anzac Parade; they can perform the X-ray without requiring any hospital admission or referral delay.
Koliko dugo moram čekati na taj rendgen, i hoće li me to nešto koštati?
You won't wait long — I-MED can fit you in within two days, and with your Medicare card the X-ray costs nothing out of pocket.
To je veliko olakšanje, hvala vam. Trebam li nešto posebno ponijeti sa sobom na pregled?
Please bring your Medicare card and this referral form; once we see the X-ray results, we'll discuss whether physiotherapy alone helps or an MRI is needed.
Razumijem, ponijet ću Medicare karticu i uputnicu. Hvala vam puno na pomoći, doktore.
Terms in this dialogue that cost marks
CCL is marked on information transferred. These Australian terms have no direct word in most test languages — get one wrong and the segment's information is gone.
- MedicareZadržati naziv 'Medicare' kao vlastito ime, ne prevoditi ga i ne zamjenjivati hrvatskim izrazom 'zdravstveno osiguranje' jer se radi o konkretnoj australskoj instituciji.
- Medicare cardReći 'Medicare kartica', bez prevođenja imena.
- Out-of-pocketPrevesti kao 'trošak koji pacijent plaća sam' ili 'vlastiti doplatak'.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
